@virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

@virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

@virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

Their online complaints form doesn’t load. I have requested to be put through to the customer care team on the phone and been refused. All I have left is sending a complaint by post at this point. Are we in the 1920s, @virginmedia ?

@virginmedia Tomorrow but as we have tried explaining we need to know a time as we work and they need access to the rear of our property. My husband has come home early 3 times and each time they haven't turned up. Never suffered such poor customer service before.

@virginmedia You told I’ll d me the last time I tweeted weeks ago that someone would be in touch, then I get the email on 15/10 to say the complaint was resolved when it hadn’t been when I hadn’t even spoken to anyone, this customer service is appalling!!
