  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • rfc_1871 Marvellous Meite 🇨🇮 (@rfc_1871) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia get your shit together ffs

  • 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 😡

    @virginmedia Still having connection issues in High Wycombe

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • _MMaritima Lizzie Rynne 💙 (@_MMaritima) reported

    I am really totally chuffed with my BT Broadband. streaming #RolandGarros on one device and #GiroDItalia on another. No problem at all: totally solid delivery. half the price of the flaky Virgin Media service that I dumped. Totally recommend.

  • djackrichy 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 (@djackrichy) reported

    @virginmedia Hi TM - I've just managed to get through and they're saying the internet won't be fixed until 30th May???? Please can you confirm this is surely not true, and if it is then how i can cancel my contract please?

  • jacpoopoo Jacqueline (@jacpoopoo) reported

    @virginmedia Not acceptable, your service is.. I have no words apart from rubbish. Roll on September when we can leave, no email for months, service disrupted on numerous occasion and trying to get through and speak to somebody who can actually help and not speak from a script, well,

  • midgetjem Irene (@midgetjem) reported

    @virginmedia how can I speak to someone about my iMessage activation issue after moving to virgin mobile? I’m going round in circles on the website

  • DorsetDogPaul Paul Hampton (@DorsetDogPaul) reported

    @virginmedia A 5. 5 hour window???? You cut me off webchat a dozen times. After promising me calls that NEVER happened

  • Postmanlondon Richard Meadowcroft (@Postmanlondon) reported

    @virginmedia Right I have sorted it out but I think you have got a cheek charging me for extra usage in April given the problems I’ve had with getting it to work since I was advised to remove the SIM by your employee in order to sort out a problem! 7 days without mobile coverage outrageous!

  • jacpoopoo Jacqueline (@jacpoopoo) reported

    @virginmedia They can't help in anyway, if I'm called Ma'am again! So why no number in the uk?

  • LJ_King LGK Music 🇯🇲 Son of a LEROY (@LJ_King) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell? Internet has been down for twelve hours in the W5 area…..I’ve got work to do!!!!!

  • DakaraSpawnBlk Moor_Spawn_ (@DakaraSpawnBlk) reported

    @virginmedia The Engineer came out yesterday and checked connections, made adjustments and changed router. Before he came the speeds had been over 100mbps & stayed that way until this morning. I truly believe that #virginmedia are the worst. I will be leaving in the next few days. Disgusted.

  • DorsetDogPaul Paul Hampton (@DorsetDogPaul) reported

    @virginmedia avoid these clowns. A month trying to get someone in customer care to take my complaint. Nothing. They take your money and ignore you. AVOID AVOID AVOID
