@virginmedia can you tell me why we had internet issues for the last three days which are now solved, but I still cannot get Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon prime video or Now Tv. I am sick of paying for extra tv services I cannot access. Would you like to refund me for these days?

@virginmedia We haven't had a stable connection since January and our internet drops out at least 20 times a day. Your customer service line is anything but useful, as no one seems to be able to figure out the issue that is causing this consistently inconsistent internet service.

@virginmedia I am seriously fed up of trying to get some help with my TiVo box. I need a new one fast. I have tried myself to fix it, you have sent it so many signals it’s probably dizzy. On demand and watch again just don’t work, so many sync problems.

@virginmedia It says restart your router and I can’t get through the automated system. There is still an issue, I assume I won’t have to pay this months bill as it’s below the minimum speeds?
