  • Abb_fab22 Abbey (@Abb_fab22) reported

    @virginmedia The service checker is telling me I owe you money and I need to pay this month's bill which is a lie as I pay by direct debit and the payment was taken. The service is a joke!

    @virginmedia So you’d rather lose customers? You can bet we will never be returning to virgin after this treatment.

  • never_home1 Itchy feet (@never_home1) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp You think I haven’t reached out for help? This is typical VM fluffing.

  • dazcookcook Darrell Cook (@dazcookcook) reported

    @virginmedia It must be WiFi using your speed tester it says to the Hub 649mbs but to my Phone 90mbs. I've never been happy with where my Hub is because it kind of hidden down the side of my TV

  • mylinhnguyen177 hi (@mylinhnguyen177) reported

    @virginmedia your wifi is absolutely shocking pls fix it, it goes on and off every ten ******* minutes

  • davidbyatt David Byatt (@davidbyatt) reported

    @virginmedia Waste of time calling in. The CS reps just tell me the same thing over and over… restart the router etc Even had an engineer out and he said your mesh pods are a waste of time!!! Had nothing but issues with them. It’s at the top of the stairs with the router directly below it.

  • davidbyatt David Byatt (@davidbyatt) reported

    @virginmedia The test was done stood next to one of your WiFi pods in my home office. The things that are supposed to increase performance in poor signal areas!!!! I don’t have the facility to wire in directly to the router.
