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

Debra Dommen (@dommen19390) reported@imogen_tew Thank for your article in the The Times 11/07/26. I have been driven to despair by HMRC & a tax savings situation. Their errors, unhelpful staff, bureaucracy & incompetence should not be tolerated. They make Virgin media look good! Surely something can be done?
-
CFC._AKHI😴 (@Yolo123Rana) reported@virginmedia Checked everything still not working
-
Michelle Beckett (@MichelleBeckett) reported@virginmedia can you help with this to backdate the date of termination of my father’s broadband contract to the date of his death? As other similar service providers have done without having to be asked?
-
Hatz (@DevilHatman) reported@rokokoprufei @virginmedia I've had an issue with them for 2 weeks and counting. My downloads are fine but uploads are broken at a network level.
-
Holli (@HolliCarden) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK This is why I’m happy that Virgin Media are being fined millions of pounds. Their customer service is disgraceful.
