    @virginmedia broadband keeps cutting out, intermittently for days now. Done all the checks, connections etc fine. Turned off & on many times. The online diagnostic test says there's no problem but THERE IS & MY INTERNET IS UNUSABLE! Please advise ASAP.

  • KatySean9396 lizzie (@KatySean9396) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia You say there is a fault but the tv has been bad all day as well what with that I haven’t had a good service all day

    @virginmedia very disappointed with recent service in area 21 and no offer of #compensation. We were without service for most of last week often for a full day. Told was our issue turns out was an area outage #misleading . #virginmedia #Broadband #BREAKDOWN
