Hey @virginmedia what the hell is going on with your service? It’s simply unacceptable! I work from home and need the internet to do my job! When is the service going to be working? @Ofcom

@virginmedia The first agent was so rude the second very helpful said she hoped she had sorted the dates of my contract and the bill. But as yet the bill for March hasn’t changed l have no idea what is happening with the complaints. I’m so worn down by it all.

@virginmedia my wifi is constantly going down, it's happened 4 times today, so frustration. Why do I pay £74 pound a month for this service!? Really thinking of switching to @SkyUK

@virginmedia Yes, everyone is sorry and everyone understands but no one wants to help. I still haven’t cancelled and you ask me to pay early cancellation fees after raising the prices. If not talking about the current contract I stayed a customer for almost 4 years even with the abuse I got.

@virginmedia That might require quite an extensive overall of your infrastructure and servers however you could maybe start by answering the telephone - you are a telecoms company. Or does customer service fly out the window once the direct debits are set up?

@coopersalty I strongly suggest you invest in Sky or Virgin media then. Having an old TV with only 5 channels is the problem here!!

@virginmedia The issue is happening on the app so it looks like it’s duplicated the laptop using chrome 4 times. 3 of those need removing which I can’t do

@virginmedia No there isn’t and the only issue is with audio description, it’s driving me mad. I’ve switched it off but it makes no difference.

@virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

@virginmedia are you able to get an engineer out before Friday to me? If not I'm leaving. Had 4 engineers out to not fix my issues, not spending more than 5 mins at the property trying to fix the issue. One of them detected line damage and i had an appointment for repair for 2 weeks after 1/2

@virginmedia So I have been trying to get an issue resolved for days, phone calls totaling 4hr 20 mins today alone, to have 1 of your representatives put the phone down on me after being taken off of a 2and half hour hold!!! Absolutely disgusting. Ombudsman will be contacted!!!

@virginmedia Can the account holder cancel with a letter? Easier than being on hold.

Hey @virginmedia I pay for the fastest speed broadband but it seems to go down at least 10 times a day!!!! What is going on? I have checked online for any faults but it says there are none. This is not acceptable when I’m paying so much and working from home.

Is one of the most critical things. You’ve failed our kids. It’s highlighted your shortcomings in this area. Now help. Or have those vulnerable kids at school with critical workers kids. But do better, engage with industry for help with this. @btbusinesscare @virginmedia @skytv
