  • A_Johnstone Jonno (@A_Johnstone) reported

    @virginmedia Well your operators keep hanging up on me and passing me on to other deptartments then after hours they hang up. It's so frustrating when they tell you there is no fault but it's been off for 7 days+ Working from home with no internet means I am essentially unemployed.

  • NicolaSimpson78 Nicola Simpson (@NicolaSimpson78) reported

    @virginmedia having issues again with slow internet speeds and completely losing internet connection... this is happening almost every day now, I can't get through on the phone and can't get a response on live chat....

  • michaels_shad Steve (@michaels_shad) reported

    @SuperFran @virginmedia I lose internet up to 8hrs a day at worst since April. Virgin don’t seem to be interested in fixing the problem. It was reported in May but told to report it again after official complaint. Got told no compensation under off-com rules. Hope @richardbranson is enjoying my money.

  • Phtevenrobert Phtevenrobert (@Phtevenrobert) reported

    @A_Johnstone @virginmedia They truly don't.. I've called twice today in the last hour, been palmed off both times and my upload speed has gotten worse.. absolute wankers. You think @richardbranson is having issue with his right now orrrr..? 😒

  • BradfordDulcie Dulcie Bradford (@BradfordDulcie) reported

    @virginmedia I have now reported to CIAS as I can no longer waste time on this. I work full time with children home schooling and isolating because of being in contact with covid and your internet service was appalling.

  • Farm_84 ... (@Farm_84) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia #Limerick Is anyone else having problems with #virginmedia at the moment?

  • BradfordDulcie Dulcie Bradford (@BradfordDulcie) reported

    @Northamptonbag1 @virginmedia I've had enough of them. Sky all the way!! And no need to pay our for extra boosters in a 3 bed house!! I've never known such a poor service in fact I don't hear much good about them

  • whywhybe BeFair (@whywhybe) reported

    @virginmedia @ItsBigZuu Cannot buy nothing with my service down to a crawl

  • whywhybe BeFair (@whywhybe) reported

    @virginmedia @NiiNiiFC @Flav_Bateman We will never know with the service almost always down

  • _iam_sb s.b (@_iam_sb) reported

    @virginmedia I can appreciate the current times are a struggle with staff etc but to charge me £136 for your services then leave me waiting to speak to someone for 50 mins (and counting) is diabolical. My contract is up and I’ve never been as close as I am now to rejoining @skytv
