  • badwithcolour aslan (@badwithcolour) reported

    It’s been so long since I had a stable internet connection I’d become acclimatised to how **** virgin media have been for me. Turns out online games don’t have to disconnect every ten minutes, after all.

  • S6Owl S6Owl (@S6Owl) reported

    @virginmedia your website's broken - can't access all account settings and apps in my virgin media

  • kerrymoyles Kerry Moyles (@kerrymoyles) reported

    @virginmedia No, it always follow a wider issue in the area. Virgin say the issue is resolved but we then have patchy service for around a week afterwards.

  • AnandOndhia A-Nando (@AnandOndhia) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not in a position to accept any price increase post May - a blanket £6 increase when I've just negotiated a plan for 18 months in December. Take this as a formal complaint @MoneySavingExp @RishiSunak

  • ShelleCauser Michelle Causer (@ShelleCauser) reported

    @virginmedia I’m 18 hours into a WhatsApp conversation with customer service for what should have been a simple issue. Does that feel like good customer service to you?

  • PaulAus70057184 Paul Austin (@PaulAus70057184) reported

    @virginmedia an hour later and still no response on the chat. Is this a completely useless service too?

  • LaRainbow Laura Vickers-Green 📺 TV writer/author She/Her (@LaRainbow) reported

  • robotnikhottake Robotnik (@robotnikhottake) reported

    @virginmedia Why advertise a program that most of the country can’t view with your services that are down lol

  • Blinkfan180 Robin (@Blinkfan180) reported

    @robotnikhottake @virginmedia Wow. **** this, il be ringing them back up in a minute then. I'm needing it to work again today. So that's more money having to be spent on mobile data.

  • Blinkfan180 Robin (@Blinkfan180) reported
