@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.

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 Hey @virginmedia how good is your service ? I did what you said and after 90 minutes on WhatsApp where no progress whatsoever was made you’ve told me to call you on the phone. Pathetic, truly pathetic.

(@nofksgiven81) reported
@virginmedia The ironic thing is it took until I had to leave where I actually spoke to someone English and could I understand my frustrations over the appalling service I’ve had for over 6 months, if I had been given this service then perhaps I wouldn’t have felt the need to leave

@LauraKnight2010 @virginmedia This is happening to hundreds of people, just spent an hour on the phone to sky and this issue is swamping their technical team. I suspect a wonky firmware update at 3am is to blame VM!

@virginmedia Hi. I've had many work orders raised . Which are all supposed to be fixed and resolved . I've even got complaints open. I did a manufacturer reset on my V6 box 2 week ago. So my hard drive is pretty much empty now . I can see that your engineers have tried to fix the issue .
