@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 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

@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

@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.

. @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 So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

@virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

@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 I am appalled by the customer service I am receiving, from agents telling me they are placing me on hold and will come back to me only to be transferred again and again!! I am a new customer and have had no internet since signing up with you over two weeks ago!!

@virginmedia That’s awful ! We should have been informed ! I hope that there’s refunds or at least keeping the replay on longer so we will get chance to see it at the time we want !

@virginmedia Spent over 2 hours on the phone, multiple disconnects and the resolution was for me to spend more money and to wait a further 2 weeks... This is incredibly frustrating.

@virginmedia Would help if you read what I wrote. New connect is set for 15th and u randomly disconnected me on 3rd. And as I wrote, the reconnect was rejected because they saw I had a move scheduled!! Move team has acknowledged multiple errors made their end but “nothing we can do”.

@virginmedia I have just found out you do no proactive network testing, but rely on customer complaints before initiating any network diagnostics. Even @bt are better than that.
