  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    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.

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • HarryLFC16 Harry 🔴 (@HarryLFC16) reported

    @ZwebackHD Can’t even watch because virgin media just went down

  • anna_woolhouse Anna Woolhouse (@anna_woolhouse) reported

    @virginmedia My mums been trying on webchat for two days but as she can’t reply fast enough it’s taking her hours and no resolution. She has no Wi-Fi access either.

  • cadentwitch Caden. (@cadentwitch) reported

    @virginmedia fix your dogshit internet

  • FGLBFAKF Iain (@FGLBFAKF) reported

    @virginmedia so due to house move being delayed, phoned help centre to extend and all ok. But noooo...Internet and TV disconnected at midnight. Usual terrible service from Virgin.

  • kamilabianchi Kamila Bianchi 🇧🇷🇬🇧 (she/her) (@kamilabianchi) reported

    @virginmedia I had a technician coming, he "fixed it". Then Internet dropped at the same day and is continuing to drop everyday since then. Who can I talk to that will actually fix it? At the moment I can't watch anything on my TV, use the printer or Alexa because of this terrible service.

  • Kellovatt96 Kel❤️ (@Kellovatt96) reported

    @virginmedia All I seem to be doing is on and off the phone to your customer service team, I really don’t understand what more they can do.. I’m paying £50 a month for something my mum has the exact same and a box in her room for £35.. how you come up with these prices just baffle me.

  • TheLOVsDABI Dabi but Neko (@TheLOVsDABI) reported

    @virginmedia once again ur dogshit service strikes what ever u do do not pick them as ur internet provider

  • nemo20000 nemo (@nemo20000) reported

    @OhBendy @virginmedia That can supply fibre in this area? Nope. However, since they were bought by O2 the service locally has greatly improved. Make of that what you will. It used to drop dozens of times a day. Now it’s only a couple of times per day. Luxury!

  • catesanders Cate Sanders (@catesanders) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get in touch all day regarding Bolt not working!
