Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia Thanks I’m currently doing this now.

Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported@virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.
-
BK (@red_bk13) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Terrible situation for that long. I'm looking at a voda offer at the mo for switching from virgin when my deal expires. They offer a router with 4g back up. It's weather your can get decent speeds where you are that matters.

Andy Sexton (@Andybedfordblue) reported@BigPaul91 @virginmedia Part of the reason I have just left along with shocking customer service trying to speak to people who don’t even speak English.

-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power

Tony dee (@tonemillwall) reported@virginmedia sort the Internet connection out please , paying premium rate for a crap service , Internet has been terrible for the last few days
