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

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! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

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

shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England@LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

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.

Ian Perry (@ian_perry) reported@virginmedia - so, you apply an update to fix Sky Sports but trying to watch any box recordings now leads to stuttering and freezing. Look up comedian Norman Collier. It's like that! What on earth do we pay our bills for? Well, it isn't customer services is it?

-
Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reportedHello @virginmedia might you please have your legal department confirm their address for service of documents such as, for example, formal “letters before action”? It would of course have been preferable if the question had not had to be asked, but … we are where we are.

I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible
