    @JoshPainter1998 @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve had intermittent packet loss / instability issues for weeks now. Affects my esports gaming which is on live television, great advert for them. Have had five deadlines now for when their loca work will be finished and problems sorted. Literally baffled.

    @mcintyrejack @iRacing @virginmedia Haven’t tried a router, with all the convo with VM about this potentially being fixed soon and me not wanting to blow money on one. Plus the issue seems to come and go so I’m not sure if it would be a constant issue with a router or not.

    @virginmedia @ofcom, virgin media have Unauthorised taken £280 from a disabled customers bank account, me, when a payment of £159 was already paid to them. The bill should have been £120. Please help this is mentally distressing

  • sszmidt199
    Stephen Szmidt (@sszmidt199) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @RogerProtzBeer @virginmedia This is totally unacceptable. When resolved ask for compensation for loss of service, inconvenience & your time. Keep records. Raise an official complaint following their process. If unhappy with their response complain to CISA, their ombudsman. Consider switching. Good luck!

    @virginmedia 17 April it should have all been done, now down at 21 may. My previous internet provider is cut end of April. I gave a 2 week cross over to ensure I’d have internet! Speaking to your cc team is awful, not getting anywhere. 3 x failed promises to call me back!!

  • chrismccausland
    Chris McCausland - 2022 tour on sale! (@chrismccausland) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It just says all service is down. Not fixed until tomorrow. It did this on Wednesday as well.

    @virginmedia both my phones now reconnected and stopped dropping. just odd because the pc is connected via ethernet cable and shown no issues. ill see how it goes thanks for the fast response

  • Yonzinho06
    John17 (@Yonzinho06) reported

    @virginmedia If I'm paying £48 a month and in that month my interest goes down two thirds of the month I should at the very least be compensated for two thirds of my bill, if it continues to go down in the following months that should increase for all the inconvenience!

  • trippyarsenal
    trappyarsenal (@trippyarsenal) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 won’t close it, they can’t arrange the return either and all the time I’m stuck paying, 25 years a customer and you are treated like a criminals by a company with processes that make the department of works and pensions look like a streamlined efficient organisation

  • UXRohit
    Rohit Ranjan (@UXRohit) reported

    @virginmedia Do you have any service maintenance going on in Greenford London Area. (UB6 8QL) . My home internet connection down from past one hour.

  • Yonzinho06
    John17 (@Yonzinho06) reported

    @virginmedia Your compensation is beyond laughable, you only pay out for consecutive days down for a prolonged period of time so it doesn't matter if my internet goes down for an hour in the morning and a few hours at night every day, its a total loop hole by virgin to get out of paying out!!

  • premieral
    premieral (@premieral) reported

    @virginmedia does anybody get anywhere like your advertised and charged for broadband speed? I am 6 months in to trying to get my 500mbs speed above 116 mbs with customer service being anything but a customer service. I would be interested to know

  • patientandkind2
    Rachel loves wordy stuff 🙈 (@patientandkind2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, and we were told that we can't cancel. Several times.

  • bethym09
    Beth Mitchell (@bethym09) reported

    @virginmedia But why are you the only service not to have reached an agreement? Virgin need to accept there are competitors out there. Get off your high horse and reach a deal! Also 'improve'.
