@virginmedia Looks like most of the Broadband is down in B91 - not showing on your website but tests and local feedback from friends/family suggests this is across entire B91 postcode - can you please fix ASAP 👍🏻

Wow...!! This appears to be B90, B91 & B92 - @virginmedia you need to get this fixed ASAP - this is no doubt human error to cause issues at this scale - either that or you need some help with your network topology - let me know 😉

It's actually tragic how bad @virginmedia broadband has gotten over the last few days. Hope we are refunded for this period of shocking internet coverage. Still think it's the best service but need to sort out current issues.

Hi @virginmedia was expecting to receive call today at 12pm from someone called John but we still waiting. Really getting annoyed at how you are treating us! 14 years of being a loyal customer and being treated like this! Your customer service and bereavement team are the worst!

Just another reminder that @vmbusiness is probably the single worst ISP you could ever hope for, ridiculously unstable internet again the last couple weeks can't work in peace, even if they paid you to use it it would still be a scam can't wait to get rid of it

@dommy_daniel @virginmedia Don't get a Hub 5, they are terrible. I'm on my 3rd in 3 weeks. So many things wrong with them and pods wont connect to them at all. I've given up and ordered my own mesh because Virgin staff haven't got a clue what they're talking about.

@virginmedia Having to sit on top of the router to tweet this. That’s with 2 boosters. I can assure you I don’t live in a castle. Pathetic service. Been a customer for years, time for a change as soon as I can.

@virginmedia congratulations, you win the award for worst ever customer service. 8 phone calls and a message of complaint. Your response is a robot email telling me you don't know what you're doing so you can't give me the credit you owe me. #breachofcontract
