@virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

@virginmedia Yes. There is a known issue in my area but no "explanation". It's states the fix estimate is 3pm. That's almost a whole day's salary.

@virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

@virginmedia We’ve moved to a house supposedly connected to your network. The broadband is not connected and we’ve been told that the earliest a technician can get to us is Wednesday evening. Meanwhile my partner cannot do her job for the NHS.

@virginmedia So essentially we’ll wait thirty minutes with a blank screen listening to ‘we know the #BAFTAS are important to you...’ I’ve NEVER experienced a worse level of customer service.
