@lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

@virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

. @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

@virginmedia I called your support team and they told me it will be out until tomorrow afternoon. I can't even connect to the box because there is no service. Not a good start.

@virginmedia That status page is also a joke. I get a message to say it is working, then it isn't working, then there is an issue with my box. Brand new box, not very happy.

@virginmedia getting fed up with your customer services. 3 weeks into a query and still no further forward. An upgrade and broken activation link still not sorted. 60 mins on phone yesterday and got cut off. How do I complain?

@virginmedia Yeah that's the same number that just puts you in an unending menu with NO option to reach an actual human. Your customer service is nonexistent. I'll be cancelling my contract.

@virginmedia Well... @VodafoneUK also invest around about the same amount of money in their network, and they haven't increased the prices anywhere near as much as you have. And I'm always connected whenever I'm outside the house. No issues with connectivity whatsoever.

@virginmedia Yes, just saying it is a really complex issue, which I guess means it isn't going to be fixed any time soon.

Hi @virginmedia, hope you’re having a nice day? I’m not, was supposed to have broadband installed on 22nd Jan but got a text the day before delaying till 18th Feb. Just had another delay to 8th March sent today. Unbelievably bad, and no-one in the call centre has any clue
