  • nigel_dawson Nigel (@nigel_dawson) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just switched to you guys this week to get away from poor broadband! What a joke this is, now paying more and I have no service at all. Cheers 😡

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @GBRChris_A @virginmedia Not good! Unfortunately my experience of their Customer Service/Technical support when required a couple of years ago was frankly lamentable. Lots of promises absolutely zero action/solutions

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Perhaps try kerpying your internet service 'up' for 26mins. Currently you're up to 17mins past the hour before it fails. Keep practicing.

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I texted that number yesterday at 1840 and never got a reply

  • MARCUS1961UK @MARCUS1961UK (@MARCUS1961UK) reported from Cholsey, England

  • GariClark Gari Clark (@GariClark) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

  • Boanz62 Martin S (@Boanz62) reported from Reading, England

    @barrowboy78 @virginmedia Couldn’t stream a film last night as broadband was sooooo slow! It’s rubbish really.

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Broadband in GU14 is up and down like a "****** draws". I pay for 350 Mbps but am getting much less than that. I've rebooted and reset my Hub 3, please sort it out!

  • westy_1966 JOHN WEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@westy_1966) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet service so poor.3rd day of the week and already this week I’ve had issues for two days#stayconnected

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @Bluebird_7777 @virginmedia Cancel your direct debit. And when they call you - ask them to fix your box

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying for 350 Mbps and getting less than 100, very poor now. You website says no problems so its telling porkies!

  • Shaytesuwu Brad 🚀 (@Shaytesuwu) reported

    @virginmedia fix your ******* **** before I move to bt.. this is the third time my internet has been out for hours in the past month.. it’s unbelievable

  • WxrldWxn WxrldWxn (@WxrldWxn) reported

    @virginmedia absolute *****. upgraded to you from hyperoptic to get 1gb/a speeds from 500mb/s 2 weeks ago and it’s been down 4 days since i’ve joined.

  • bouncealong313 K (@bouncealong313) reported

    @virginmedia It's not intermittent, it flat out does not work at all. Nor do your mobile apps, nor does your website. Nothing. "intermittent" my rear end! Stop downplaying the problems your customers are having. If you would at least be honest then you might not get as bad a backlash.

  • spooksaur spooky (@spooksaur) reported

    Can’t wait for people to realise @virginmedia only give compensation for full loss of service, and this is just intermittent. Nice job #virginmedia

  • CristianoPank40 Cristiano Pankhurst (@CristianoPank40) reported

    @Jay_McB @virginmedia Massive problems

  • KR155_MMBRO Chris (@KR155_MMBRO) reported

    @SignatureGD @virginmedia You managed to get onto twitter tho. You're just not working hard enough are you ?

  • mairtinsb M (@mairtinsb) reported

    @virginmedia Bills for VM are already sky high once the introductory offers end. Think it’s about time to switch! Can’t carry on with the continuing slow speeds, poor customer service and spam calls we keep receiving to our landline.

  • JamesMartinTVR James Martin (@JamesMartinTVR) reported

    @virginmedia Normally other providers have small issues lots, but when Virgin goes down it's huge. Virgin perfer the odd plane crash to regular bumper shunts & side swipes.

  • turton_holly 🍒 (@turton_holly) reported

    @virginmedia This is ridiculous, this is the third time it’s gone down for me now.

  • Leah_Waters_ (@Leah_Waters_) reported

    @virginmedia This is honestly a joke. Up and running for all of 5 minutes. Down AGAIN
