    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

    @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.

  • PolymathTim
    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero 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

    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

  • Dereklad
    derek(🕖❤️‍🔥samurai🇨🇳) (@Dereklad) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virgin media. Your internet broadband is down,we hope to have it fixed by 10pm.😣 Modern warfare 2 campaign day. And no internet.😢

    @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😤

    Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

    @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

    @virginmedia Hi, I am stuck in a web chat loop. My Hub has been provisioned on a DS-Lite IPv6 profile on the network side, disabling my Modem Mode and port forwarding. Web chat keeps telling me to do a pinhole reset, which will not fix a network profile issue. Can an agent

  • mattwalters70
    Matt Walters (@mattwalters70) reported

    @virginmedia Congratulations for officially being the worst company that I have ever dealt with. Poor customer service with staff who DO NOT listen, staff that oversell contracts to vulnerable people, a website that is frankly awful, complaints that are not taken seriously.

  • zeno001
    Alan Henness (@zeno001) reported

    @O2 I did that yesterday but got bogged down in setting up a virginmedia/o2 account rabbit hole. It was a nightmare. There are no new notifications there.

  • MahmutTor
    Mahmut Tör (@MahmutTor) reported

    Dear @virginmedia and @ThreeUK One of you cut our broadband service, the other one doesn’t provide mobile signal even though we pay both of you. could you supply some pigeons please?

  • PourMeAGin
    Robb Pickard (@PourMeAGin) reported

    @skytv never met a system so unfit for purpose. The latency on Sky Glass causing freezing is awful. To be told no solution is BS. Cannot wait for contract to be over so can leave. Maybe @virginmedia will make a decent offer to rejoin.
