    @virginmedia This is the experience I have had of VM ever since I can remember, but it was either you or 6mbps with phone line, but soon I will have fttp with @SkyUK or some other @EE but deffo not you, never ever again @virginmedia.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia It is not the speed that is the problem, it is the router that is the problem, it is garbage it lags like mad every game is trash I probably played 1 game last night I just back out of them all the time.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Reboot all the time, it is crap broadband.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Lag, gaming is crap, your broadband is fast but not a gaming broadband, remember all your gaming 200 and all the other crap.

    @BradHoward3 @virginmedia They CAN'T be that bad...

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Seriously you are a crap broadband, you might bragg about being "superfast" but for gaming you are seriously shite, how the hell can my gaming be so bad when you advertise a gaming broadband, oh my mistake you don't now do you, pathetic.

  • Mark29HT Mark Danylczuk (@Mark29HT) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Delivery driver who came to drop off packaging to return your equipment was very rude indeed. Aggressively banged on my door with the packaging and so abrupt. Appalling.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes it's the same problem

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry I disagree it's @virginmedia broadband not Samsung broadband! So it is a @virginmedia issue .I don't pay Samsung for my Wi-Fi.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Forget that sorry but your router is CRAP and you know ut cheap shit.

  • dbrindle92 David Brindle (@dbrindle92) reported from Liverpool, England

    @AdamWether @virginmedia @O2 For what you pay them you should be able to get signal on the moon

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Re: Wi-Fi cutting out, exclamation mark .Samsung blame your hub @virginmedia blame Android 8.0.meanwhile my service gets worse with no solution in sight. #frustrated

  • RealClareB Clare 🐝 (@RealClareB) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Apparently there is an issue in the area. It’s happened quite a few times and as I work from home a lot, losing a half day of work time is very frustrating.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Does it matter what you see, it might matter to microsoft, I buy your internet for gaming, that's it if you get ripped by microsoft that's your problem you sort it that's why I we pay for you GAMING🖕

  • coachdancad Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted it yesterday and a number of times previously. I’m now in receipt of a Cat. 6 Ethernet cable which has improved wired speeds - I’d suggest these should come as standard - but wireless speeds are still slow and unreliable.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @Aeroson_ Well said mate, but getting back to virgin media being crap 🤣🤣🤣

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Just started gaming, played 5 games backed out of 5 games, lag, lag, lag, come on Virgin sort your crap Broadband out this is so boring and predictable.

  • natherton90 Neil Atherton™ (@natherton90) reported from Rainhill, England

  • tartanmarco Mark McMullan (@tartanmarco) reported

    Must be purely coincidental that the @virginmedia customer login area is down right after they've sent out the price rise notifications!

    @virginmedia hi, had a call today to upgrade my package, which I accepted, but now the contract has come through I see the discount is only 7months, not the 18months I thought I’d agreed to. What the quickest way to cancel and be put back onto my old package please?

  • JohnWeightman6 JohnW (@JohnWeightman6) reported

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Your disproportionate joy at a few crumbs. Bad times indeed.

  • WebberDesignLtd Webber Design Ltd (@WebberDesignLtd) reported

    @virginmedia And in the same lockdown, my Virgin Home broadband was mysteriously cancelled/disconnected. Nobody could tell me why and I had to jump through hoops to become a new customer after more than 15 years with Virgin.

  • TrickyTreesDave ⭐️🌳⭐️ (@TrickyTreesDave) reported

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Trouble is you struggle to even get a signal with #O2 when you're in the #UK they're shocking, ive had no joy with there customer service either, never will i take another contract out with them what a complete waste of a contract....

  • robin_haughan Robin haughan (@robin_haughan) reported

    @virginmedia As ever the number provided is uncontactable from a UK phone (Virgin mobile) from Spain - rings once and disconnects. Can you please figure out how to fix this service at your end - and quickly.
