    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 1tappleby Thomas Appleby (@1tappleby) reported

    @virginmedia I paid for an upgrade to the broadband package because the service was so poor and now I'm being penalised for paying more money after upgrading to the highest package. This is not good corporate behaviour and falls well below minimum standards expected

  • MooresVicky Vicky Moores (@MooresVicky) reported

    @virginmedia I've messaged countless times now for the same thing, I'm unsure what you need to chat about! Just send somebody to fix it please

  • dubysam Sam Duby (@dubysam) reported

    @virginmedia I did, that's how I got to booking the engineer. But it turned out to be an area outage and it's just been fixed. Thanks.

    @virginmedia I was never told of the problems. How on earth can i have an intermittent service until October? That's appaling!
