Kathy Miller (@KathyMi25429227) reportedHow long outage in CR02BG please @virginmedia on hold for forever.. shocking customer service...
-
Lisa (@LisaRacheal) reportedWorst company ever @virginmedia They say the same thing over and over again instead of just sending an engineer to actually fix it. I don’t work for you, you take my money so provide the service
-
Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported@biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported@virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁
-
Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported@virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.

Oracle (@biggle1908) reportedLooking for some advice lovely people. For twenty something years I have had broadband from BT and TV from Sky. Sky’s renewal is coming in at over £100 per month and am currently paying £62 for BT which is now painfully slow. I have been looking at Virgin Media for both and this gives me a saving of around £70 per month for much faster broadband. What are people’s experiences with Virgin Media. Thanks in advance.
