    @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.

  • grahamtebbutt grahamtebbutt (@grahamtebbutt) reported from Gateshead, England

    @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

  • kirsty_ferry Kirsty Ferry (@kirsty_ferry) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia hi how do i book an engineer via the app? Service status on broadband and equipment all check out. No connection to devices. Impossible to speak to someone on phone with almost an hour on hold. Can't see how to book appt online yet apparently it's possible? Thanks.

  • 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 👏🏻

  • 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.

  • 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

    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

  • 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

  • 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! 😳

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    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.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐶 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with broadband in the Gateshead area? Mine has been off for over hour and the green light is flashing on he broadband box.

    @virginmedia I am not interested in your pathetic customer service or your poor advice! I have asked for a direct number, which you have not provided. I am seeking legal counsel!

  • nathanjwalkley Nathan Walkley (@nathanjwalkley) reported

    @virginmedia Yesterday and almost every day in some way, is the router broken, is the signal bad, I don't know or care at this point I just want it fixed. Or at the very least tell me you see the problem instead of saying it's all fine every time when it's not

  • johnbhoy1601 John Davis (@johnbhoy1601) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the damage has been done, other family members will be closing their accounts with Virgin Media, the company may not miss a few accounts but in the circumstances we no longer wish to have any dealings with Virgin Media.

  • Sally35985417 Sally (@Sally35985417) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already informed you and your team what issue I am facing… and the resolution. I know where in a pandemic but this is poor service and some how the pandemics made virgin staff unprofessional and poor service

  • Sally35985417 Sally (@Sally35985417) reported

    @virginmedia You can’t but I can tell my experience to the public so that they are aware of your lack of service.

  • ojmorgs Oliver Morgan (@ojmorgs) reported
