  @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.

  Once 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

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  Captain Howdy (@colonbarbarian) reported 4 minutes ago

  @denchaser @virginmedia I love my VM broadband, but dealing with their "customer service" team is like banging head against a brick wall. I just renewed my contract, still being charged twice as much as a new customer. Offered me £55 a month then went up to £59 as soon as I went to accept it.

  @virginmedia 23 years as a customer I have just had to cancel due to your rep being unable to offer any kind of deal remotely close to what I am currently paying for this years renewal

• 
  Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia He relies on his television to watch Sky Sports. That is the service he pays for, and at the moment that service has failed him. Please can you confirm what the actual fault is and when you expect Sky Sports through Virgin TV to be working again?
