    @larsz @Azrael808 @virginmedia The crap upload speed that Virgin Media provide and the fact they usually hide it, is why I won't touch them with a barge pole.

    @virginmedia trying to find your TV only plans on your website is a nightmare. Can’t do anything on your slow clunky mobile website.

  • lukeredpath
    Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

    @virginmedia appalling service, I got a broadband package on the 21st, the staff member that was on the live chat has wasted my time and led me to speak to one of your aggressive customer service team members.

  • drdaz187
    Darren Davies (@drdaz187) reported

    @virginmedia You understand my confusion right? Stay with Virgin and have a “slower” broadband connection or cancel/move a service to another provider and get a better service? It offers no loyalty and will push custom away from Virgin mobile and you are encouraging it 🤷🏻

  • JamesAStorey93
    James (@JamesAStorey93) reported

    @virginmedia Due to the website log in page being down, It’s unable to be done online

    Steve Black (@Stevethefix) reported

    @virginmedia 🤦so where is this service I'm paying for through my monthly charges?? I'm having to do this myself !

  • CallumGTweets
    Callum Green (@CallumGTweets) reported

    @virginmedia @MartinSLewis Surely it’s not right that Virgin Media can cancel my services but continue to charge me for another week!? Internet and TV no longer work but apparently I have to pay another 8 days!? TERRIBLE customer service

  • llamedos123
    Bob Wright (@llamedos123) reported

    @virginmedia Well done Virgin emails down, went down yesterday at close of play when wanting to get emails off, what's going on.

  • montyofmorocco
    Monty (@montyofmorocco) reported

    @virginmedia He kept saying it was a problem “at my end” and nothing to do with the outage yesterday, ut that there was still some “network instability”. I couldn’t get a straight answer

  • JamesAStorey93
    James (@JamesAStorey93) reported

    @virginmedia had issues with broadband for the last 10 days, engineer booked for this morning, has been a no show and is now saying on the virgin app that I have no appointments when I didn’t cancel? What is going on?

  • awechalekar
    awechalekar (@awechalekar) reported

    @virginmedia dead since this am! Forced break from working but need them to get it back…@virginmedia website also down - what is the problem

  • MaldenSaboteur
    London Tim 🇺🇦#FBPE 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇲🇺🇵🇱🔸️ (@MaldenSaboteur) reported

    @virginmedia I am OK with waiting for a fix and even the odd missed appointment but to continue fobbing me off and charging me is not acceptable. The retentions team don't even seem to be able to cancel an account.
