@virginmedia Broadband issues since May 2018. Multiple calls to customer service with no permanent fix. Last time I called I was asked the same questions repeatedly then cut off. Want a new hub that works and a bill review as it’s gone from £65 to £79 since Sept 2018!

Made a complaint to @virginmedia 10 days ago via their online service with a 7 day anticipated response time and yet have heard nothing since the acknowledgement of my complaint. This basically sums up my experience over the past year of ineffective response to our issues.

@virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

@CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

@virginmedia I don't think much will happen given virgin's track record but on the plus side you've given lots of material for my delegates on next Saturdays Customer Service module.

@virginmedia Are you sure there’s not something more generally wrong? It’s now telling me I should replace my hub (?) but can’t actually let me do it. I get the impression there’s a general problem with your service.

(@DavidLemon777) reported
@virginmedia Every time I call, the customer assistant seems to have no knowledge or record of all the previous calls. They just repeat that an engineer is coming. We were badly let down and have gone back to sky, but continue to be harassed by @virginmedia. Yr customer service is horrific.

@virginmedia Broadband cutting out consistently in DD1 again today. Just completely dropping off for random amounts of time. What an absolute shambles of a week this has been. Your status checker says there’s only issues with TV here. Awful, awful service.
