“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

@virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

@virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

@virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

@virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

@virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

@virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

@virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

Call just now from 01422 382048, caller claimed to be @virginmedia & had noticed suspicious internet activity! When pointed out I don't have Virgin she stated ISPs share info and work jointly! Said I'd never heard such a load of tosh & she put the phone down! Beware! #scammers

@virginmedia my new customer offer ends next month, I'm keen to keep services now I work from home but your general bundle prices look £ shocking 🙈. Who's best to talk to, else I'll go elsewhere/ start the ball rolling now?

@virginmedia Still issues in SG2. Every daytime this week broadband goes down at approx 10am but comes back on in evening.. nothing on Virgin Status about problems. Maintenance happening?

@virginmedia What can I do if this keeps happening? I was really happy with my service up to a couple of months ago but if this keeps happening I can’t justify paying for internet access when it’s so intermittent

@virginmedia No because I’m not waiting for an hour on the phone to be told it’ll be with you in 5days or sorry we can’t help

@virginmedia The service checker is yet to say there is a problem and yet when I phone they tell me there is an issue with my area, each time I'm told an engineer is going to fix the issue within 24 hours. That was over a month ago.

(@MrJakosaurus) reported
@virginmedia For us it’d be for our entire house via a 2.5G ethernet switch. Other issues are to do with ping time, jitter and packet loss when the Hub 4 is reaching max download/upload speeds that it can handle. Not great for gaming. Just don’t understand how a complaint can be just closed.
