    @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

    @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!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • amo_singh Amo Sira (@amo_singh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia sort ya shit out! Mans trying to chill!

  • 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.

  • cobysaur Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, England

    I wonder if @virginmedia and @vodafoneuk use the same backbone or something. Both services are down or extremely slow since 17:00

  • bucksbowler Bucksbowler (@bucksbowler) reported from High Wycombe, England
