    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

    @virginmedia The lightning strike fried the virgin media router AND the life line system too. One of your engineers came out yesterday evening and provided a replacement router which fixed the problem. All the residents there will need replacements pls help them asap.

    @virginmedia When are you going to issue a formal statement on the nationwide outage. Cm16 area been out since last Thursday, but for others I can see it's been a lot longer. Do right by your customers and issue a statement.
