    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

    @virginmedia every night this week broadbands gone down at the same time. Do a check no issues, check again no issues check again intermittent issues check back in 24 hours. It’s not as if broadband is new, surely you should know what you’re doing by now? Fix it and get reliable!

    @virginmedia hi - I've done a few speed tests now that show I've got poor connection below what's expected (below 30mb) in my house but I seem to just go round in circles in my account to request a free pod and can't actually do it anywhere. Can you help please?

    @biggle1908 @C_Midd99 Rkid had the same issue with his Sky package & price, so switched to Virgin Media, now saving £70 a month with faster broadband. Couldn’t be happier with it.

    @virginmedia when I contacted u earlier in the year I was told the upgrade to the 360 box doesn't mean a new contract, but yet after months of you harassing me I've upgraded box and low and behold you've sent me a new contract until 2028 , not happy how do I cancel???

  • BrownEyedGirlGB
    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @virginmedia Resolution estimate was 15:08. It’s not intermittent it’s totally out and the resolution estimate has moved 4 times and is now tomorrow evening. Right above the service status issue box is a box saying it’s time to renew, look at contract options. No chance. 4/4.
