    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.

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, 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.

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi... So haven't been able to get through on phone for MONTHS. your website self serve is permanently down, and now your Twitter and text aren't replying. How do we undo the last 3 months and get me where I should be?

  • paulbanks60 Paul Banks - Tenor 🎶🇪🇺 (@paulbanks60) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia #virginmediadown Is there a problem chaps? Poor poor connection speed in South Tyneside! 😳

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

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

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @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 👏🏻

  • 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

    @virginmedia @richardbranson you really need to have a sort out your staff who are ruining the customer services @BBCWatchdog you need to start researching about how poor the services have become at Virgin. Absolutely poor customer services, 3 months and still no help

  • ElizabethMcCaf8 Elizabeth McCafferty (@ElizabethMcCaf8) reported

    @virginmedia The router keeps cutting off we have tried to get through to CSA and ever time we get to an adviser they hang up. It’s getting beyond a joke it’s off more than it’s on and we still need to pay. We are out of contract and will leave if this isn’t resolved.

  • cherkyi LauraClark...❤ (@cherkyi) reported

    @virginmedia Managed to get signed in. Says there are no known issues but my tv box keeps rebooting for no reason & the Netflix channel keeps going to a blank screen while watching it

  • Acemusicstands Ace Music Stands (@Acemusicstands) reported

    @virginmedia Every device in our house is suffers the same issues. Every platform I go on disconcts. I can watch the WiFi die constantly. Please show compassion. 7 weeks of problems. We have an A level son that needs to connect for lessons.

  • realDonaldChu16 realDonaldChump (@realDonaldChu16) reported

    @virginmedia Not sure what else I need to show you that confirms that you have the data. You are simply being difficult and not providing me with it. I advised previously that you would be the reason Virgin would lose a long time customer. After the 8th of Jan I am with Virgin no more. #bye

  • danielmcgill91 Daniel McGill (@danielmcgill91) reported

    Why is a customer of 15+ years waiting over 13 (THIRTEEN) weeks to activate services at their new property? No Internet for 3 months... @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp

  • jsquires1990 Jay (@jsquires1990) reported
