  @nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm

  @virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .

  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 27 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  Been on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.

  @virginmedia Hi. Is there a difference between cat 5E & cat6 & cat7 ethernet performance wise on your network 🤔. I'm using cat 6 ethernet from my hub 3.0 to your provided powerline booster . Then from powerline booster to my V6 box. I'm using cat7 ethernet from hub 3.0 to V6 🤔

  johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported 33 minutes ago from Sale, England

  @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported 37 minutes ago from Bramhall, England

  @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 37 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported 44 minutes ago from Rochdale, England

  @virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers

  Rach (legacy fan) (@Miniboom2) reported 45 minutes ago from Salford, England

  Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 45 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

• 
  Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported 46 minutes ago from Rochdale, England

  @virginmedia Yes currently showing resolution time of 0230 04/11 this is a really poor service it has been off for the majority of the day

  Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported 51 minutes ago from Barton upon Irwell, England

  @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

• 
  Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported 51 minutes ago from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

  Wow @virginmedia your services have gone off thu no fault of mine yet I have to wait 6 days for you to fix your faulty equipment!! Cancellation pending due to total lack of customer service! I have been a customer since day one and never have I exp such a lack of cust care

• 
  Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported 58 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

  @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you??? Awful experience so far. Over 2 hours on hold so far, online chat kicks me out. Not even been able to activate my account or install equipment and now unable to cancel. Glad I won’t be proceeding with you !!

  @virginmedia your customer service via telephone call is absolutely atrocious.

• 
  Jim Harrigan (@Bloodrave1984) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Still happening BB8 area code, signal drops and reconnects, I will deal with it publicly. I cannot watch shows on streaming, I can just about get a daily done if it cooperate long enough. This is not good enough service, you customer support is no help either.

• 
  Sam (@KingT_94) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve been having issues with my internet for the last week. Streaming is a nightmare and trying to use the internet in general has been ridiculous. I’m meant to be getting 250 mb download speed and I’m not getting anywhere near that 🤔 can you advise please?
