Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England@matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 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!

-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 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
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, EnglandAny news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia
-
Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.
-
Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England@Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍
-

Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia Nothing I am a network engineer so I understand networks & often comment to help others

Joe Alderson (@JoeAlderson1982) reported@B25Owl @jomickane @Benleo I've never had this and been with Virgin Media on and off for years. I have had a faulty router from them before though.
-
Cp (@Mr_MuFc1987) reported@virginmedia Yea the internet was down in my area from 2130 to 0200 not good especially on a Friday evening
-
♫ ♪ ♫ ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ (@noxiousjellyfis) reported@IamCarrieagain @virginmedia The BNC (round) cables are the same, and the ethernet cables are the same. The only real issue you might have is changing your WiFi password on each device you have, and swapping the power brick depending on where you have your router.
-
Extremely annoyed (@Extremelyannoy1) reported@virginmedia what am I paying for if I can’t access the WiFi I pay for much less no contact with customer service to report it. Terrible service!
-
claire whyte (@clairewhyte12) reported@O2 You didn’t look into it for me though. You told me you only deal with virgin media landline, tv and broadband, not much point in contacting you really. 0 help.
-
Matt (@MattB_MUFC) reported@Fiercely_FE @virginmedia Yeah for some reason that's in the extra TV channels package rather than sports, have the same issue in the NFL season as that's what they put Redzone on
-
Peter Totays (@p_tar) reported@LouiseMensch @virginmedia @Benleo The worst company!
-
ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported@JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.
-
Helkhiana (@helkhiana) reported@saltyy_savage I had Virgin media for years and only issues and expensive contracts. I am on Plusnet right now £43/46 for 900mb with 0 problems and uk customer services. They do £3 increase yearly and I am curious to see my first contract end what I'll get. Bet still better than virgin
