  • MarcSleigh Marc Sleigh (@MarcSleigh) reported

    @virginmedia Rang 150 - Got automated service that eventually told me there was intermittent issues in my area and asked if I wanted txt updates. Wouldn't actually let me speak to anyone. Still no explanation or ETA.

  • Leo_Olivieri Leonardo Olivieri (@Leo_Olivieri) reported

    @emstoth @virginmedia 2) Today, the technician arrived and told me the installation could not be done, because my address was incorrect. The technician was at my door, but could not complete service!!! After reading about your issues, I am already regretting my decision to sign in.

  • kishi_trott BermudaKidz (@kishi_trott) reported

    @Nadeem74159629 @virginmedia Why is internet service so bad in england

  • k_veves Konstantinos Veves (@k_veves) reported from Ealing, England

    @MTB_Flyer @drewsonix @virginmedia Exactly. They are selling a service that they know they cannot support. And there is no one who can do anything about this. They have an army of hounds protecting them.

  • Shropshire_Dad The Devil's Advocate ♿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@Shropshire_Dad) reported

    @virginmedia What a surprise its down again.

  • RyuugaKun1 🎮Ryuuga Kun (Ryuu)🌸 (@RyuugaKun1) reported

    @braedyn189 @virginmedia According to their T&C surrounding outage refunds, our outage today didn't qualify. Considering they can't provide speeds over 500mbps in our area it's poor show really.
