You only have to search "Virgin" on this forum to find the many threads over the years bemoaning Virgin and their promises to fix their service in the area, its tiresome


I switched to BT two years ago and its much better (Friern Road)


We couldn't even download a programme on catch up quicker than we could watch it, Virgin was soo slow.

I have to say, having complained on EDF about virgin on and off for a couple of years it has been (almost) fine the last year or so. Since I called Virgin, said I was going to terminate the contract, and went to the departure lounge to exit for good. Virgin then invoked their 'avoid a leaking bucket' policy of trying to convince me to not leave, but I insisted there was nothing to stay for. we ended-up agreeing a deal, they changed my routers and did some 'technical stuff' and hey presto ever-present issues vanished. I got the impression that what they did to improve my circumstances could have been done at any time, as long as they wanted to.

But they didn't, they just let me slide until I was about to leave.

It's unfortunate that this is what we have to do to get the support we need!

I am sure they throttle back existing passive customers to maximise how many people they can sign up and also give new customers or unhappy customers better speeds...Over the phone they are able to increase your connection performance when you complain within a few minutes

I used to be a VM customer and was absolutely convinced they did this. That's one of the reasons I left

I am on hold cancelling my contract as well. I have had the contract since the 14th August, it worked until the 27th August. The wifi has been down ever since then because of an area fault and every day it is supposed to be fixed, they extend it another 6 days. There must be rules against this, how are they not getting fined by the relevant ombudsman?!?!?


Looks like I will need to go back to Sky although they drilled a hole through my door and their connection wasn't good either. I am at my wits end!!!

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
