@Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

@virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

@SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

@sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

@virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

@virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

@virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

@GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

@virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

@virginmedia don’t worry about supplying a service that I can use to work from home, I’d much rather leave the house in a pandemic to access stable broadband...!!!

@virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

@virginmedia That's an absolute mental response. "Pay 60 quid but if it breaks down post online and hope someone has the decency to respond 18 working days later"

@virginmedia Day ******* 60! @virginmedia don’t ******* reply with the generic ****. Answer these: Why am I paying £45pm for 100mbps and getting this ****? What are you going to do about reimbursing my loss of earnings/having to use mobile data?

@virginmedia We can't stream anything through the Virgin box. On demand doesn't work, nor does Netflix, or prime video. These apps work when accessed through our xbox, there's no problem on laptops. Weirdly, iplayer works through Virgin. Reboot fixes it for a few days then down again....

@virginmedia I'm not at all fussed now about the issues being resolved , Come may a canx request goes in , @libertyglobal don't care about the issues customers are facing , they care about money , @Ofcom are toothless , they're certainly likely aware issues customers are facing

So after being totally screwed over by @virginmedia we’ve signed with another company. They can’t get us online for 10 days, so any ideas as to how we can temporarily hotspot to get Wi-fi? We tried #BT- they took our money, but the service didn’t work. All ideas cv welcome!
