    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

    @virginmedia Just when I thought you'd fixed it, it goes wrong.....was working fine during the day. Busy times your service is shocking. I've now got the same message.... insufficient bandwidth.

    @danslee @virginmedia That’s shocking customer handling Dan. If it’s any help I’ve actually found the guys @TalkTalk pretty good especially on tech issues around broadband.

  • MZ2346441534028
    M&M (@MZ2346441534028) reported

    @virginmedia my internet was down for almost a month (now restored), but I haven’t received any automatic compensation. Please look into this urgently so I don't need to involve ombudsman.

  • Tutts558
    Mike T (@Tutts558) reported

    @fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.

  • AmyHeppi
    Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely terrible wifi this afternoon this is not the service I’m paying for !!! Really fed up of this

  • cam_bridgewater
    Cambridgewater.x (@cam_bridgewater) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness . Just "upgraded" to Voom 1 gig from 500. Speed slower than previously. Called technical .. they did some fault clearing and told me to reboot router, now I have no internet at all. Technical can't help reverse the error as they don't have full access .. unbelievable. Worst service ever. How can a technician make things worse and then tell me an engineer will be with me Monday ..

  • john1mccarthy
    John M (@john1mccarthy) reported

    @virginmedia surprise surprise, I had no phone call back today when I was promised one by Jenny (if that was even her real name) this is the second time this has happened and your telling me that I'm being dealt with by your senior customer care team! What a joke

  • nottmsteve
    Nottmsteve 🇬🇧 (@nottmsteve) reported

    Had an appt this pm for @virginmedia to come for this phone line transfer. It's bad enough that they want a 5hr window, even worse when they don't show up. Went to lodge a complaint but tells me I'm not the a/c holder. It's been in my name for over 30 years! I'm not best pleased

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.

  • iamryanodonnell
    Ryan O'Donnell (@iamryanodonnell) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you - I managed to call them and I believe they’ve sent out another WiFi Pod, so I’m hopeful that’ll solve my issue.

    @virginmedia there has been intermittent signal in the Salford area on and off for mo this. What is going on with your service? Yes I have already signed in and run the diagnostics.
