@virginmedia Come on Virgin, give us some feedback. What's the issue with the WiFi in the NE10 8WH area. Mine seems to have gone off completely now. Loads of people in the area complaining of same issues all across social media.

@ComradeMorden @virginmedia I’ll join you Simon in this nightmare of trying to get a connection, I’ve only just realised it isn’t just us that have a problem in NE9. It seems very intermittent

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.

Can @NetflixUK please fix their bug that identified @virginmedia WiFi routers as VPNs and then blocks the IP address. Sounds like a failed IT implementation that needs to be rolled back until it's professionally tested.

@virginmedia This is all BS,there's a fault in the area they are obviously not bothering to repair,they keep changing the time it will be ready and it never is,you have no customer service or any answer,your only reply is from Pakistan and obviously they know nothing about the problem!

@virginmedia you have now failed to apply a discount to my account that you have promised me 2 months in a row after mis-selling me a service at the setup of the account. If you don't sort it out I will be taking it up with the ombudsman. Not happy. 😑

@virginmedia Spoken to a female customer service rep, very helpful. Now appears to be sorted & the problem was exactly what I've been telling the other reps for the last 2 days - hadn't been activated your end!

(@pjextra) reported
@virginmedia really showing the love for customers.. a £10 credit to compensate for an ongoing network fault since 14th Jan, that they say won’t be fixed until at least 7th Feb, and that’s made broadband useable most days. I mean I’m just blown away by the love.

@virginmedia how can I make a complaint. I was promised no changes to my service and renegotiated a new contract at 76 pounds and I got an email advising changes and removals I didn’t agree to. This was the third time i spoke to virgin and you got it wrong again.

@virginmedia So a day and a half without any service,or any help and communication,if you're thinking of installing Virgin media, think again!

@virginmedia I was also told the resets might take 30 mins to start working properly. I have asked for a call back from a supervisor but was told they are going to tell me the same thing and you will not upgrade my router. I hope this won’t be the case as I will just cancel my contract.
