  • AnotherRunHQ Another Runner (@AnotherRunHQ) reported

    VirginMedia down in BN1, Balfour Road area. Fortunately this happened just days after the local community voted against a 5G tower being installed. #brightonisinsane

  • JL_a27 Jayden (@JL_a27) reported

    @virginmedia It is the virgin 360 and their is loads of space on it. And I've done one but their seems to be no issue.

  • scottloose PA➡️CA➡️UK (@scottloose) reported

    @virginmedia You mean call the pre installation team AGAIN. For the 7th business day in a row. AGAIN. So I can explain my problem to the 12th person who either answers the call or transfers me. AGAIN. I’ve crossed the 3.5 hour mark on time spent in the phone with you in the past 8 days. Fun.

  • Lendy424 Lendy (@Lendy424) reported

    @virginmedia Done all of the above and the signal isn't strong enough to use data

  • craigamourldn craig_craigf (@craigamourldn) reported

    @virginmedia Hence why I said it’s rubbish service. How can it change within an hour . After being a customer for a few years to be told new customers get a better deal is really rubbish so I stand by what I say

  • craigamourldn craig_craigf (@craigamourldn) reported

    @virginmedia How can it change within an hour? It was on the same day( which I already said I wanted the original deal) it’s poor service tbh. A joke

  • casper197635 Neil Williams (@casper197635) reported

    @virginmedia You don't offer excellent value for money at all. Broadband has been poor for months, and I always get told there's no issue. The grey box by my house always has the doors open because people break them. Maybe buy locks that aren't from Poundland
