  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down in this postcode NE261AG plz

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    So annoying everything been off since around 11 this morning & now they’ve just updated service status that’s it’s going to be tomorrow at 6pm it’s fixed, that’s a big change from 6pm tonight!!! Bet I still get charged full price for a service that isn’t working. @virginmedia

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • patrick_kelly18 Patrick Kelly (@patrick_kelly18) reported

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing since January despite reassurances from your team there was no issues on three separate occasions. Hours of phone calls, what's app chats, nobody taking responsibility for this. Calls disconnected twice at your end.

  • safiyahtasneem Safiyah Tasneem (@safiyahtasneem) reported

    @virginmedia are awful at dealing with internet issues. 2 months now of intermittent internet where I’ve had to use my phone data AT HOME because the internet is so bad, whilst also paying £62 for this crappy service?! Absolutely ridiculous

  • thebobsharp bob sharp (@thebobsharp) reported

    @virginmedia I just called. The line says there aren’t any issues affecting services in my area. I can assure you there are, I’m currently having to work using my phone as a hotspot. Can you tell me anything at all?

  • natalieh22x natalie ❥ (@natalieh22x) reported

    @virginmedia Please can somebody help with understanding a recent change in my bill? I’ve tried using live chat and it’s useless!

  • EnneadGames Mobius Tempus (@EnneadGames) reported

    @PabloBonzo @virginmedia Yup, and then they went to offer me a discount for a little which would still end with me paying MORE...oooh i had to leave the convo before i said something very rude...

  • mstorey2015 Mark S 121115 🇮🇪🏁😷🇺🇦 (@mstorey2015) reported
