    @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

    @virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_PRO_IPTV13 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

    @JonStone101 @virginmedia Exactly the same with sky. I cancel my subscription every year before they put the prices up and a week later I get a call from the retention team offering me a deal at half the price. Madness.

    @JonStone101 @virginmedia @MartinSLewis is it not time for you to look at Virgin Media and their corrupt renewal process? Every 2 years you have to have this dance and they still bugger it up. They needed to treat existing customers fairly.

    @virginmedia How do I cancel my account? 🤔 So tired of sitting on a never answered 0345 phone number to talk to a representative. Very bad service.

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Same with the AA. Stay with them & your payment doubles. Moved to the RAC as new customer. Next year I'll move back to the AA as a new customer.
