    @MaggieGee10 @reece_dinsdale @virginmedia I ‘m with Sky too, Maggie. Much better customer service and if you have a problem with your broadband it’s sorted quickly. I left Virgin years ago. It was a wise move.

    “I'm really sorry to hear your business is closing and we really appreciate we are facing some difficult times due to the COVID 19 pandemic. However we will not be able to place your account on hold. your service will continue to run as normal.” Not ok #Virginmedia ! @vmbusiness

  • mosaicLGBTyouth Mosaic LGBT Youth Centre (@mosaicLGBTyouth) reported from Islington, England

    @vmbusiness suspended our mobile as we sent too many texts in March. Fact that we are a charity and there is a global pandemic carries no waight with their customer support team apparently as ‘fair usage policy applies on all unlimited plans.

  • DavidClark38 David Clark (@DavidClark38) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia whilst I understand there are far more important issues currently happening please stop charging me for using @NetflixUK. I’ve called you, emailed and tweeted in the past, yet you still keep doing it. I pay @NetflixUK directly!!!!

  • BenPOwen Ben Owen (@BenPOwen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @TomGeorgeBest @virginmedia I live in South London and this keeps happening to us too. Internet cuts out between 10-11am and then again between 3:30-5 every day. We pay for 50mbps and have internet speeds as slow as 0.9mbps. So frustrating.
