    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

    @O2 It's not tv issues I have an issue with it's not being able to use rewards or just login with a o2 account as I keep being asked to link a virgin media account as previously I was just able to use my phone number which is an o2 one

  • glenn_coin
    Glenn Edwards ⚽️🥊🦮 🇬🇧 (@glenn_coin) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia It’s the only option I have that doesn’t use Openreach lines, which are crap. They were terrible when they were NTL as well, seems like nothing has changed.

  • KathyMi25429227
    Kathy Miller (@KathyMi25429227) reported

    @virginmedia Paying a premium for a poor service...why is it impossible to actually speak to anyone?? Wait time unacceptable

  • alfie_beachlife
    Alfie (@alfie_beachlife) reported

    @Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia Lured away from EE by Sky on BB + mobile package. The mobile service is next useless and despite upgrading to the highest Sky BB speed available it’s still not as good as EE plus they did the price hike wrapped up in some BS marketing about how wonderful they are. Back to EE asap

  • grayn59
    Nicky Gray (@grayn59) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband off and why does this repeatedly happen? Your broadband service checker also does not currently work.

  • Bowtomephil
    Phil (@Bowtomephil) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Some are great some are not. I had an issue told them what I thought it was as it happened before. One guy said its not that, came three times, changed modems, cables connectors etc. I told them don't send him , they sent a new guy listened to what I said, fixed what I said.

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    Congrats to @virginmedia for being perhaps the WORST company I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with in Britain. Three engineer visits, five plus calls to Indian call centres, and still you can’t activate the TV contract you upsold me when I simply called to get my connection back. Awful, awful business model.

  • GrzeLow
    Grze ski (@GrzeLow) reported

    @virginmedia @DrewSheridan1 Are you lot out of your minds? Another outage/shutdown on N11 1BA? WILL THERE EVER BE A MONTH WHERE THE SERVICE RUNS SMOOTHLY??? You’re the worst internet provider I’ve ever had, and I’ve had plenty!
