    Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • Flozephine

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • a3racer
    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?

    @virginmedia Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963

    Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

    @virginmedia yeah did that. it says all fine. no issues .... yet a quick scan of social media ( not using virgin broadband obviously, reveals there's an outage in my area .... perhaps you should move your status checker to another provider? It's going to 24 hours apparently. great service

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

    Being messed up by @virginmedia. 1st we were never told the old box must be returned then they charge £90 for not returning it. Trying to get this sorted is such a hassle. You’re told one thing, nothing gets done then you’re told something else.

    @y_alibhai @virginmedia The arrogance. You don’t get preferential treatment Yasmine due to your ‘awards’. Btw If you agree with SM ban for kids meaning we will all have to sign in to access SM then get used to this.
