    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.

  • GraemeHopper Graeme Hopper (@GraemeHopper) reported from Gateshead, England

    @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.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • GlobalFunk_ John c 🎮 (@GlobalFunk_) reported

    @Jammin9t2 @Fluxuryy @virginmedia I had nothing but nightmares mate 😫😫 Never had the issues with any other provider

  • MrSloany Sloany (@MrSloany) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, appreciate the help. Problem is we’re not the account holders as it’s a rental property. Currently trying to get our landlord to sort it. Is there nothing else we can try in the meantime?

  • PaulRowlands10 Paul Cesc Rowlands (@PaulRowlands10) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I'd like to know why you think its acceptable to make us wait 3 weeks to check our cables when our WiFi has lost connection, then continue to take payment, then not turn up on the 15th as scheduled. Absolutely terrible service. Once it's sorted I'll be leaving.

  • irp87 Ian Poulton (@irp87) reported

    @virginmedia Still bad. Not given the right information again and just poor poor service. Should be ashamed, actively trying to leave.

  • KrazieKell Kelly Marie (@KrazieKell) reported

    @virginmedia your absolutely shocking !! We have been a customer for over 15 years. Got told a price for our new contract which was recorded, yet charged double for it. we’ve spent a total of 6 calls, 12 hours trying to sort YOUR mess and your still messing us about !!!

  • waynec40 Wayne (@waynec40) reported

    @virginmedia Ain’t Manager call backs 48hrs too? I’ve been waiting 2 months for 3 different ones. Just shows Virgin don’t care about the 22% Customer base.

  • anncorbin3 ann corbin (@anncorbin3) reported

    @virginmedia Good afternoon, I have spoken to your Customer Service department this afternoon to no avail. I have been charged £95 because the spending cap was accidentally removed and reinstated the same day.

  • PShabarkov Petar Shabarkov (@PShabarkov) reported

    @virginmedia I had broadband services installed on 11th of October and decided to cancel them on the very next day 12th of October, using my 14 days cooling off period rights. Instead I recieved a £121 bill. Made a complaint, but recieved an email it has been closed. What a joke!

  • angelab2711 angela B (@angelab2711) reported

    @virginmedia I have yes,I've been checking all day. Fix time was meant to be 6pm today now it's been moved to tomorrow morning 10am!

  • MaryNT16 Mary N-T (@MaryNT16) reported

    @virginmedia I have just bumped into the engineer sent out to investigate the fault in the area. He is the only person from Virgin who has been honest about the problem & why the fix date keeps getting pushed back. If only you & every other virgin rep I have had contact with ...1/2
