    @virginmedia Virgin media is down in B26, Birmingham. My children claim they had NO internet thru the day. What is virgin media doing about it?

  • Faster_Martyr Dougie Trickett 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💙 (@Faster_Martyr) reported

    Some folk absolutely losing their composure over #virginmedia being down. Mine's down too but in fairness, their uptime for me is 95%+. Their monthly charges however, is something worth getting angry over. 4G router & data sim looking a very strong option instead.

  • grumpmatt Matt (@grumpmatt) reported

    @virginmedia Still down all day
