Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

@virginmedia You sent a new WiFi router out then said you were coming to collect that!! You then took us down for a day at a time on two seperate occasions and instead of getting 200mbps we were getting 7mbps yesterday when your service was saying no faults. Just sort it out ffs.

@Bhavnik @virginmedia Hi- virgin has gone down in Bromley and Chislehurst. Can you confirm when it will be back on? This is very serious as offices are closed and many people are working from home. Your service status says it will be resolved by this evening?!

@virginmedia telephone customer services told me you cannot provide customers with their account notes from previous queries etc. Some previous billing/package amendments have not been actioned and dealing with this over the phone isn't working. Let me know thanks

@virginmedia Am not sharing some details on open message no. Basically the caller said I will have my internet connection terminated in 10 days, for 15 days, unless I comply with demands from your security department. When I refused they said they would terminate immediately.

@virginmedia Yes that’s fine - we have had our speeds upgraded but still have WiFi problems. At least one room in the house shows as a black spot on the app, and we do get points when the WiFi is slow. Have re-booted hub and followed instructions. Would a booster solve this?

@virginmedia @IM_org Is there a way to turn on caller ID without phoning you (seeing as wait times are at least an hour at the moment)? I keep getting spam / scam calls, despite being registered with TPS. Can you help? Thanks.
