CANNOT WAIT until we leave @VirginMedia in a few months time. Non stop internet issues for months now. I’d urge everyone to swerve Virgin Media. Better companies out there who do more and cost less.

@KellyQuilt @virginmedia Virgin are hopeless for ease of contact. My daughter was with them and the service wasn’t at all good. This nonsense about calling them at a time to suit them is just ludicrous. They need to admit that they (& others) don’t staff adequately to suit their customers convenience. 🤬

@virginmedia No broadband or TV at the moment. Been poor for a few days. Website just says you're aware of the issue. Can't get through by phone and tried to sign up for updates but keeps failing. WiFi needed for work. Any suggestions?

@virginmedia Doesn't matter now, we've terminated the contract and joined Three home broadband. I just think it's disgusting that a customer of over 10 years doesn't get offered a deal as good as a new customer.

@virginmedia hey guys whatever I try to play back or if I rewind live tv to play back the boxing is terrible so much so you’re unable to watch the programme. The wires are all connected fine and all other internet devices are fine. What’s the issue?

@virginmedia I've rebooted the box & it's resolved the issues with the Apps - thank you - however it doesn't explain why my Netflix subscription has been removed from my service package and bill, which presumably happened before the problems started yesterday late afternoon accessing Apps?

@virginmedia I'd like to know why you discontinued my Netflix subscription? The service just stopped but I didn't cancel it? It was paid for in June but there is no charge due to be made in July! It was connected up to Sunday but today I just got a message asking me to rejoin?

Very pleased to publicly announce we are leaving virgin media. I have never known such a diabolical internet service - current situation our 100mb per whatever it is means our internet is unstable for any zoom session. Utterly ridiculous. Hoorah for us 🙌🏻

@virginmedia you claim we get 100 whatever’s per second. So tell me. Why my internet doesn’t work. I can’t stay on a zoom as my “internet is unstable” and live tv “jumps” not streams. You sent somebody to resolve last time. It’s now repeated this behaviour again. Why do that?

@virginmedia Hi John, my wifi has gone down 4 times since last night, we’ve reset it on the box twice this morning alone and it still keeps dropping … can’t get through to anyone on the phone and website says they won’t send anyone out for another 24 hours and only if the wifi stays down ???

@virginmedia Just to let you know I was billed by you for Netflix on 10 June, the subscription was not paid to Netflix by you - so they cancelled my account! You owe me a refund please! Also this was a issue as far back as May & Virgin were saying "they were addressing it" Still are it seems!

@virginmedia Class. Can you briefly explain the current position of Virgin on why HD is seen as a premium service? There must be some actual reasons for this.

@chlooeeeexo @Virgin @virginmedia Their answer and excuse, for months is that they're doing work in the area. But online reports I've pulled up show the router constantly showing 'critical warning' because it is constantly resetting itself and is faulty. Tried everything! It's replace it or cancel at this point.
