Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

@Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

@virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

(@NiSaBulaVinaka) reported
@virginmedia I have to use the landline due to signal problems but as VM offers a free service on 150, I object to paying for a 45 min call especially to be told that the problem is the router supplied has "basic functionality" and may not be capable of supplying the strength I pay for.

@virginmedia 18 months, after the previous one that was less than a year into the contract. It's still a rise for every full year I've been a customer; an almost 25% rise since 2017. I'm shopping around now and others are offering better(including you, to new customers)

@virginmedia no broadband since last Thursday, can’t get through to your customer service. Engineer came last week as we’ve struggled with your service for months, he put a new hub in and guess what.... it worked for a day! Now waiting for another engineer to come. Not happy 😡

@virginmedia No manager will be available for 48 hrs to call me back... no one had returned our call and the attitude both myself and my husband received was simply unbelievable! Absolutely disgusted and regret taking a new contract. Appalling service.

@virginmedia Hi , yes my wifi still isn’t working properly and as we’re working from home now this is big problem for us .. would you be able to book an engineer to come out and put the new router and boosters in like I was promised before agreeing to a new contract? Thanks

@virginmedia You literally dont have a leg to stand on. The proofs right there. You cant claim for one second I'm getting the correct speeds clearly I'm not. Now like I say admit your wrong instead of chatting crap over Twitter what's that crap going to do absolutely NOTHING
