    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • XlisilooX Lady Lisa Lefty #FBPE #FBPR #GTTO (@XlisilooX) reported

    @virginmedia There’s a big difference between zero WiFi service and limited WiFi service. I had around 10 complete drop outs yesterday…and you’re basically saying it’s a load of bull then because who in these times has a wired connection?

  • harrewis Paul THORNE (@harrewis) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, and through ‘Fast’ app too…problem with various models of iPhone in this house!

  • CobainSchofield Cobain Schofield (@CobainSchofield) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing ever happens though, complaints have gone unanswered. Every call just ends up with me being fobbed off, "wait 24 hours" or "someone will call in 48 hours", or "your connection is on a 24 hour monitor to find a problem. It's all just bullshit, nothing ever progresses.

  • Pabl0Blanc0 Pablo Blanco 🇪🇸 (@Pabl0Blanc0) reported

    @virginmedia I've been over it half a dozen times. Always lots of sympathy - never any action. In a nutshell, wifi on the router is unusable, so everything has to be hard wired. Which is bollox for the price I'm paying :-(

  • Kirstym82kirsty Kirsty (@Kirstym82kirsty) reported

    @virginmedia it's terrible was trying to watch something on prime and ended up switching off constant message its too slow with continued buffering

  • NicolaD21295051 Nicola Davidson (@NicolaD21295051) reported

    Just realised why everyone told me not to join virgin media broadband, terrible customer service to try and resolve an issue with their speed in my sons room, some attitude they had @virginmedia definitely won’t be switching my tv over now!

  • BenjaminjamesR5 Benjamin james Rees (@BenjaminjamesR5) reported

    Can anyone @virginmedia explain why since I've had virgin broadband it constantly disconnects from my sky TV and Q box. No I cannot hardwire it and have had other providers with no issues

  • robgeorgejack Robert Jack (@robgeorgejack) reported

    @virginmedia No it's working today just don't understand why all of a sudden when was regestried as one of the devices for the app could this be a IT problem

  • SteveMowat4 Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported

    @virginmedia No. Just no availability and we can go on a cancellations list. Here’s a funny thing though, if I buy my broadband package as a new customer through the website, you have availability from 10 Nov! Care to explain that one away?!

  • Dan91D Daniel Davidson (@Dan91D) reported

    @virginmedia why am I getting 20mb or less download speeds when I’m paying for 1gb ? And every time I use your app it says no issues when I’m clearly having issues ?!?!?
