  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

    @virginmedia Our mobile phone bills have gone up due to having to use data. We can not work from home and definitely not use any streaming sites. I refuse to pay for any extra fees due to a service not being provided.

    @virginmedia Intermittent Internet speed or conmection. Nothing has changed or moved in the house and yet I can not get a sustained connection to any device. Unusable service.

    Has anyone else had atrocious service from Virgin Media recently? Disappointing isn’t the word with their service, been a customer for some years but I think it will end soon.

  • bailey02380 Laura Jane Bailey (@bailey02380) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on hold for far too long and have given up. Can I ask how much cancellation fee is please as this is the only route now to go back to BT. I hope you can understand my frustration of very little and extremely slow Internet since January. We can not use any devices.
