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 @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 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 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.

@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!

@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.

@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 I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

@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 I've been trying to use your messenger service for weeks and never get a response. It does not work. Email address? Actual human person willing to do some work?

(@markdenholm) reported
@virginmedia Nothing at all John, no known issues. Finally spoke to someone on the phone who said a technician will call me within three hours. Not ideal when my son has home schooling to do which needs 5e internet. When then can I expect to be reconnected?

@virginmedia That's fair enough but my problems continue. I was in a queue on Saturday for 54 minutes only to be told that the other person had hung up on me

(@damawa42) reported
@virginmedia Yes I did feel I was being fobbed off. Yes status checker is green. Problem is bad latency with huge latency spikes (despite overall good speed, which is not the same as latency) so eg streaming is fine but remote desktop or gaming is awful.

@virginmedia It’s now the 18th of this month so next week. It was meant to be today, then before this the 7th, then before that the 6th. By the 18th that will have been almost a month of the issue being known, it doesn’t feel like it’s being treated as a priority at all.

@virginmedia Hi Virgin. Your a communications company that doesn’t want to talk. Why is it made so difficult to contact anyone? Your phones go unanswered for hours. Your DM service is manned by an unresponsive bot (no one comes back after days). No email address. No other channels?
