    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • vamplady35
    Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

  • briggsym

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

    @shashpatel23 @virginmedia @HopeForTo Honestly, it’s a joke! Saying 8:07pm fix time here in Birmingham! If I hadn’t been forced to upgrade my V6 box to 360 software I’d still be able to access the tv channels!! But because 360 relies on wifi connection I can’t get any tv!! 🤯🤯😡😡
