Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate.

^Gavstar^ (@Englandgav) reportedHey @virginmedia want to know why I get bills for myself and someone else? My hub is linked to there account and address so I can access there account/bills and upgrade there package. Your customer services seem unwilling to help. GDPR issue
-
CliveR (@CliveR39) reported@KuchPatryk @Se_Railway No Virgin Media broadband- @nationalrailenq were reporting a network problem
-
Edward Clements (@eddie10oo) reported@daviesa02 @virginmedia Avoid Virgin at all costs, their customer service is horrific.
-
Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported@Ang_Jones72 It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.
-
Pekalton (@Pekalton) reported@ConorPDunne I agree Connor. It’s time for a complete change of direction for RTÉ. I’ve lost interest in the LLS and RoT. I get RoT brings tourism to Kerry but it’s time for a change. RTÉ is still living in the times gone past. What exactly are we paying TV licence for? Virgin Media is as bad

Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia Can you please confirm whether the Sky Sports+ TV fault I reported on 15th August has now been fully resolved? I want to watch @ColU_Official tonight on Sky Sports+ through my Virgin TV service, so I need to know that the previous problem has been fixed.

Darren (Dazza) (@scouse9000) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia Yes I would totally agree with that! I had to get in touch with one of the directors to sort my account out! She waved the massive bill if I dropped my complaint!! We had closed the account 5 months before that! Shocking customer service!!
