    @virginmedia I keep getting told that there are no issues, but when I run the test, this is what I get! The test results were inconclusive We'd be happy to investigate further.

  • gesichtzeintopf
    Juri (@gesichtzeintopf) reported

    Shout out to @virginmedia who, despite billing errors, poor customer service, mis-selling to their clients and constant interruptions, have the audacity to increase the monthly service charge by £3.25, about 12% of my current plan. Anyone a suggestion for a better provider?

  • JoeOnTheRadio
    Joe Hynes on SH (@JoeOnTheRadio) reported

    @PaulKirkby7 @virginmedia My phone is with EE, I tweeted this as to say I need to use my EE 4G because my WiFi is so bad

  • CoachGeracitano

    @virginmedia Nope they hung up 🆙 on me. You will most likely lose a customer of over 15 years tomorrow

  • SaiflessMind
    Saif Abdul (@SaiflessMind) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet speed has been appalling recently. I am getting download speeds of 5-7mb, whereas my contract is for 100mb+ (M100 fibre). Can you help, I'm sure I can get money back or exit the contract without additional charges.

  • leoni_kerr
    leoni (@leoni_kerr) reported

    @virginmedia hi. I would like to speak with someone about either having my bill reduced or cancelling contract. I have been customer for 10+ years and wifi has never been so bad and I have TiVo box which hasn’t worked for over a year now

  • harrythepiano
    harrythepiano (@harrythepiano) reported

    @virginmedia No. NO KNOWN ISSUES for Broadband. I’ll tell you a known issue. ‘Up to 200 meg speeds’ is a myth. It’s regularly under 20 and this week absolutely crawling, yet STILL you charge full price for this utterly crap service.

  • A7AUR
    Ataur Rahman (@A7AUR) reported

    @virginmedia when you plan to update the network, could you give affected area/postcode know beforehand so that they can prepare for the internet outage! I had to ring 150 to be told by the automated service of the issue. Lost valuable data and time due to this!!

  • donnajeff
    Donna Jefferies (@donnajeff) reported

    @virginmedia Its beyond a joke now, it's been down since 6pm last night and I need the internet for my job today

  • Floyd20051
    Floyd2005 (@Floyd20051) reported

    @virginmedia I received a letter informing me of a March price rise today. Am I understanding this right that I can now just cancel my contract if I want without any penalties? I though I was tied in for the best part of 2 years.
