Alissa (@Alissa_SarahLou) reported@virginmedia When are you going to issue a formal statement on the nationwide wifi outage. Cm16 area been out since last Thursday, but for others I can see it's been a lot longer. Do right by your customers and issue a statement
-
Melvyn Malloch (@melvynmalloch) reported@virginmedia connected to your network yet they worked perfectly with @TalkTalk without any issues. It's so frustrating
-
MrsM 💙 (@oldpoyntz) reported@PeterBakerMcfc @virginmedia Internet is back now. No one touched anything and it goes off. Moving to Community Fibre once this contract is up. I can't keep having these issues & paying through the nose. At least we'll be able to rotate through the apps as and when needed.

London leaver (@ross_biagini) reported@virginmedia internet keeps going off in Amersham Please fix it
-
kaan #freeimamoglu (@laankaan) reported@virginmedia So should I check your outage page daily to see if I’m getting the service I’m already being overcharged for? It took 30 minutes to talk to someone btw. Also; scaring people to overpriced renewals 6 months in advance is DISGUSTING.

Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia my tv, broadband & phone is down again. Just missed the final of BGT which I spent months watching only to miss the final results. I can’t lodge the problem online as it won’t allow me. Judging by all the comments online, seems Virgin have serious problems
