@virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

@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 It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

@virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

@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 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 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

@virginmedia @SandyLindsay Always deflection! The right reply is “let me check that for you!” Stop putting the onus on the customer for your company’s errors. Utterly infuriating!

Poor start @virginmedia Was offered a free data SIM as part of a new fibre broadband package. Next thing I know I have an invoice for a £12 month contract with O2 that I never asked for or wanted. Trust is lacking here!

@virginmedia I declined to pay as this was what I wasn't promised. A dispute was raised and the issue wasn't resolved. Unfortunately, this is unfair, affecting my credit score and I would like to resolve this ASAP.

@virginmedia Can you give me the benefit of the doubt here. I've followed your process, reporting faults etc. Now I'm here on twitter. Your engineers are spectacularly failing to prevent a reoccurrence. Like they failed the last 20 times. Please. Help.

@virginmedia hi can you help? I agreed to a new contract last week and it included up to 3 Wi-Fi pods I’ve been sent 1 and they said to contact again if I need another? I need one more but your online chat isn’t working and I’m unable to call

@virginmedia That there is no single to my house and that another company needs to come to fix it. It is annoying bcuz your call centre said there is a VM line but now the engineer says no...how should I believe
