  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

    @virginmedia hey there, broadband has been extremely temperamental this whole day, this morning it was completely down then after a few resets I’m only able to achieve a connection on certain devices, would like to resolve this issue ASAP !!

    @virginmedia can confirm that there is an ongoing works in your area to improve the connection. This has started yesterday night, but we don't have an estimate time for the fix. I also have checked that there is no nearby tower to get a connection from, so we don't have to do any troubleshoo
