  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 19 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported 41 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 45 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

• 
  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 47 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

• 
  iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported 49 minutes ago from Wednesfield, England

  Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

  @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

• 
  Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported 52 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

• 
  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 53 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 57 minutes ago from Himley, England

  @virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.

• 
  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 57 minutes ago from Bradmore, England

  @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

• 
  𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported 59 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  Day 3 of no internet and almost zero communication from @virginmedia. Got a text on Friday saying issue fixed (clearly not) and nothing since. Went on the service tracker to sign up for updates. Still nothing.

  O @vmbusiness how can it be when my order was placed in January my rescheduled install date isn't until the middle of May? I am going to be without connection for over 2 weeks .. the original plan was to have a week cross over of my service - why do i pay for business ?? (1 of 2)

  @PGNWTLOI1D hopefully virgin media steal the rights, RTE coverage is just painfully bad now

• 
  Jools (@Jools_Orca) reported 11 minutes ago

  @lsrlinda I’m pretty sure many have struggled with very poor English or a similarly strong accent. My neighbour is hard of hearing and swapped Virgin Media for BT due to such struggles.

• 
  Stephanie 🇬🇧 (@stephiejmc) reported 14 minutes ago

  In addition, ISP have controls that block content. Virgin Media for example have a fairly fine-tunable system. If you go into any school of college, their internet is filtered. The technology exists to enable the bill payer to control internet access. But of course this is not, and never has been about protecting children, it is about digital ID.
