AlicrySky (@SkyAlicry) reported from Lincoln District, EnglandI think I’m done with the bullshit from @virginmedia I can’t take another day of having to reboot or reconnect just to get online on my own home only to have them **** the entire thing with a firmware update. My old dial up was faster than the service we receive.

Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England@virginmedia @KazH50 Can you tell me what the issues are in Lincoln, speed down to 2Mbs ... Paying for 200Mbs
-
Adam Butler (@AdamSButler65) reported from Southrey, England@MichaelLCrick @TomaszPalmer @RogerMi17980111 @virginmedia And the reality is (sadly) that when someone in your position posts stuff like this, it does carry much more clout than the average person who is being let down by these big companies. Power to you Michael.

chris whitney (@chris_litcons) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia No one has replied to the text. Spent hours on it ourselves and Googled the problem. Virgin media were no help at all.
-
Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England@virginmedia I do get fed up with @virginmedia platitudes and inability to solve why I have poor connections speed, down to 28kbs at the moment, but your Helpdesk, after I waited 45 minutes, do not consider this to be a problem. Try downloading a 100Mb spreadsheet at that speed.
-
Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England@virginmedia Because I wouldn't connect a laptop to an unknown (to me) website, through the router, where the could alledgely monitor connection speeds. When your engineer visited he had to escalate the issue to your network team. Because I had 1 downstream & 1 upstream not the 24 down and 4.

Edward Croft (@EdwardCroft19) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia I’ve attempted to speak with your team and somehow never get through to anyone, just an automated service telling me to wait to be connected. Hence resorting to tweeting.

entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@nameHarryPalmer @virginmedia That's EXACTLY it. They couldn't be bothered to fix it, didn't tell me, cut me off completely and didn't bother to organise ANY kind of repair. It just beggars belief Words almost fail me as to how poor an organisation @virginmedia have turned out to be throughout all of this
-
v (@CourageHonour) reported@virginmedia virgin media absolute joke with no customer service of any use....totally given up trying to resolve issues......bye...hello sky.
-
BK (@red_bk13) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Terrible situation for that long. I'm looking at a voda offer at the mo for switching from virgin when my deal expires. They offer a router with 4g back up. It's weather your can get decent speeds where you are that matters.
-

entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
-
AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported@virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473
