Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

@virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

@westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

@virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

@virginmedia i get it. Captalist country and therefore a fallacy to beleive we dont need you. You social media support responders are in jobs etc But really, VM broadband is a joke. Bring back telewest and the more personal service of old. #virginmediadown again

@virginmedia still no connectivity at all for me in SS0. Running a successful ISP should also surely include upda ting customers when issues arrise. Internet connectivity in this day and age is a utility, not a nice to have. #virginmediadown

@virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

@virginmedia And one final time, you aren’t prepared to provide me one, even temporarily to test it will actually solve the issue? If not we’ll look into alternative broadband providers who offer a better service to customers.

(@SamNicol13) reported
@virginmedia Sorry John that’s no use. I phoned, I can’t talk to a human being they just want to send me a link etc. we have already ascertained the issue. Further checks are a waste of time. Can I not just order a pod? It isn’t if needed it obviously IS needed.
-
The Gentleman Baker
(@GentlemanBaker) reported
@virginmedia Reported that we are experience poor or no Wi-Fi in the upstairs of our house and was just told we need to either upgrade our package (even though it’s 100mb+ fibre) or pay £8 a month for a ‘pod’. There was literally no investigation or other solutions offered.

@virginmedia These results are wifi as they are saved in a log on my phone, but results have been similar when checked over Ethernet at similar times with a cat 6 cable. I've checked the service plans etc and this has been going on for over a month now

@virginmedia Okay well I’ll just have to sacrifice the good speeds and cancel. This company are impossible to communicate with. Very simple things done with complicated procedures

@virginmedia It's fine now but it keeps on happening. The connection suddenly drops and the only way to get it back is to turn the router off and on again. May be an issue with the line?
