    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

    @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 @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.

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

    @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

  • keithman45
    Big Ape (@keithman45) reported

    @virginmedia @Oxford_Life Yep, same experience. Upgraded to 360, error messages, engineer fitted new box...different error messages. Called 150 Friday to be told it's be fixed remotely by 2nd line... still not working properly. . Looks like another call needed

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @nameHarryPalmer @virginmedia That's EXACTLY it. They couldn't be bothered to fix it, didn't tell me, cut me off completely and didn't bother to organise ANY kind of repair. It just beggars belief Words almost fail me as to how poor an organisation @virginmedia have turned out to be throughout all of this

  • casilda1
    Casilda Malagon (@casilda1) reported

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband since 9 am today and website still doesn’t have an eta for fix. Any info? All I see is “Our engineers are on the case to fix the issue in your area. Check back later for updates”. #notgoodenough

  • SenosLIVE
    Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported

    @virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers

    Donna B (@beasknees81) reported

    @virginmedia had a guy phoning from a mobile number 07740338310, claiming to be from Virgin Media. I just hung up. As I have never had anyone from you guys phoning me from a mobile number ever!!

    @virginmedia if you fail to provide a promised refund and fail to deal with a complaint is there any hope that you might engage with me here?

  • amcgrath1uk
    Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported

    @virginmedia I know that there’s an issue in the area. It went early this morning. I’ve seen the spike of reports. I’ve seen the bot say it’s gonna get fixed. Then the bot is saying the issue is with our box. Even though I know there’s tons in the area still having issues. Basically, it lies
