    @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!

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps going off, been like it for about a week on and off now and customer service are a joke! I'm not happy TBH

  • Sanna_Syed Sanna Syed (@Sanna_Syed) reported

    @virginmedia It's still awful. And so intermittent. It constantly cuts out and watching a movie was awful. I ended up streaming off of my hotspot.

  • Harry19950462 Harry Osborn (@Harry19950462) reported

    @virginmedia No because its a computer that doesn't help you I need to talk to someone

  • nikkitel Nikki (@nikkitel) reported

    @virginmedia Hi nope! They transferred me and hours later nothing so I’ve filled in a complaint form. Shocking lack of service and for something so simple

  • stuart_mackay88 Stuart Mackay (@stuart_mackay88) reported

    @virginmedia I do appreciate that but I think the dynamics are a little different when the engineer causes the problem that it would warrant jumping up the queue.

  • DanPlaysGames22 Harrison Dan (@DanPlaysGames22) reported

    @casper197635 @TheMrMegabyte @virginmedia Oh damn do you know what speed you pay for?

  • Its_Ciaron Gallon of Magnet (@Its_Ciaron) reported

    @virginmedia Its a linked issue, a family discount account because I have two phones and broadband. Just spent an hour being laughed at by someone in the Philippines who doesn't understand the law and repeatedly refused to give me their name. No phone means no doctor, no carer...I'm scared

  • carlclark52 Carl Robert Clark (@carlclark52) reported

    Typical @virginmedia, we spend most of half term out and about, so we will use this weekend to catch up with work before Monday. This is when there is a "network issue"! 😠

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia It's the hub that's not working! So that's irrelevant! If the main source keeps breaking

  • codedbymiles Miles Cant (@codedbymiles) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband for our whole street is down, your 1st line support was argumentative and refused to listen and is adamant it’s a household issue and not a service area issue, can you get this resolved please?
