  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your continued support. All’s clear today - and your colleague on the phone said they would monitor the situation and let us know if anything needed to be done. Lots of examples of this happening online. Putting it down to just being another victim.

  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

    @UnitedByApple @virginmedia Where do u find outage info

  • John_Pile John Pile (@John_Pile) reported

    @virginmedia Can you explain to @LutonEye why you have increased his bill and sorry him out then? You haven't tried pulling my pants down recently, thankfully. I was simply stating I know many people unhappy with the service and price increases and new customers get better deals.

  • Hombre1977 Mark Attridge (@Hombre1977) reported

    @virginmedia - 3 painful calls to try and cancel my subscription. The communication attributes for your colleagues is certainly an area of development. I would have thought your “Retention Team” would be trained to higher level. Good luck for the future!👋

  • LivisCraftyB Livis Crafty Boutique (@LivisCraftyB) reported

    @virginmedia Really? Because every year your prices go up, sometimes twice a year and guess what, I'm still receiving the exact same service that I did when I first started with you 10 yrs ago, so how about you provide a great service first, then ppl would be willing to pay more!!!

  • wendygraham1068 Wendy (@wendygraham1068) reported

    @virginmedia Have had numerous problems where service disconnects the connects again over the Christmas and New year period and now your putting the prices up again 🙄!!!
