Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing 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?
-

James (@JMEden_97) reported from Solihull, EnglandI hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes
-
SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandZero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

Matt McCorry (@MattMcCorry2671) reported@virginmedia shocking service from customer services following all your advice as on email yet I’m still having to call to resolve issue..no faith whatsoever! How do I speak to someone in UK??!
-
JS (@SweeneyJoanne) reported@virginmedia I cannot tell you how horrendous my experience has been. 4 weeks later, no install, a broken path and I have no broadband! You didn’t show up again!!!! No communication either.
-
MrsHoustie🏴 (@Houstie1886) reported@virginmedia Yes the service stays page says no issues. But the helpline said 24 hours now the chat help saying another 24 hours. Lots of neighbours having the same issue. Can you advise please?
-
Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported@virginmedia Why ? I've resolved the issue I had myself O2 have been absolutely useless & now you want to help please don't reply to this.
-
South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reportedSo then @virginmedia, having escaped your contract after 18 months of poor service when will someone come to my house to remove the large ugly brown box that was fixed to my outside wall (bearing in mind it was installed without a booking or any notice at the contract start)?
-
The Hodge-Cast Podcast (@Hodge_Cast) reported@DAZNBoxing I can safely say, I will never be purchasing a PPV from your service again. Nearly 15mins of a blank screen for a PPV - I realise technical issues happen and it’s live, but to make no attempt to to fix this problem in a timely manor is a farce. @virginmedia I’ll be cancelling my subscription with yourself also, if I don’t receive a refund. Unacceptable!
-
Entanglement (@BellJohnStewart) reported@VMSportIE Who ******** is Tim Clancy? Some randomer off the street? Is Virgin Media Sport run by Sinn Fein?
-
Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported@virginmedia we have not had broadband since the 11th of June! You estimate it will only be fixed on the 16th. With no other communications. Very very poor
-
MC (@_MCRL_) reported@virginmedia @21nonsense12 Never mind that DAZN has gone off sort it out we want a refund
-
Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported@virginmedia it’s even worse, after binning watching on 360 as it’s beyond rubbish, tried to control via my phone but then wouldn’t let me back in on the so called 360 control and now the volume is all over the place. Such a **** service
