@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!

@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

@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 @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 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.

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 was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

@virginmedia Please sort your complaints team out.... I’ve been promised a resolution numerous times over the last few months and still nothing. what a complete embarrassment they are.

@virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

@virginmedia can someone please help me without reading off a script and telling me to turn my hub on and off again? I cannot get WiFi upstairs and the boosters (which I pay £5pm) stop my sky Q from working 😡

@lukesmart89 @virginmedia I will have to see how things go. I have been with BT for years. I bet you I could go online & find loads of people who say they've had nothing but problems. However, I've not had any serious issues that would warrant a complaint. If virgin doesn't work out, I'll go back to BT

In this day and age there should be no reason for @virginmedia to have their broadband connection down for over 24hrs, especially when customers are paying £4.25 a day for the privilege. Diagnostics are capable of pinpointing issues and spare equipment should be on hand!
