@virginmedia your broadband SUCKS. It's no wonder a local FB community group is full of people asking for suggestions for better internet providers.

@virginmedia is there a reason why when I’m working from home with so much to that involves internet access including online meetings that yet again your service is not working in B36? This is happening so often it is ridiculous

@virginmedia To be honest this happens too often then often our speeds are not what we pay for. I work from home so costs me business when this happens. Rather then getting me to check things, I just need yo-yo to provide us with a regular consistent service at the speeds we actually pay for

Jackie
(@OperaJedias) reported
@virginmedia Fourteen hours without phone, TV or broadband having just upgraded and been charged £138. It is completely unacceptable - we were told there is some issue locally that they are working on so the engineer we have booked is not going to be able to fix it presumably?

@virginmedia Still waiting for my hub that was promised within 48hours on Tuesday I have no WiFi and this is totally unacceptable since I pay for the service

@virginmedia I was eventually able to get through to someone and get things done after more than 3 hours worth of calls. Your service is a disgrace. Shame on you.

(@KristenMtJoy) reported
@geordiemanc70 I did that once with @IKEAUSA and waited for 6 hours. And hung up because no one ever answered. Fun fact they purposely do not put their local store numbers forcing everyone to go through their (non-existent) customer service. Good luck with @virginmedia

(@M_Jones1996) reported
@MisterDaz @virginmedia @LFC Nah they'll just apologise to everybody, do nothing to fix it, and go back to counting our money. But dw, when it happens next week they'll apologise again and promise to fix it ASAP!

@virginmedia @Walthall32 Same here, cut out at 1727 this evening and haven't been able to login since, working fine before then.

@virginmedia Thanks. But this is not a one off. Keeps happening on a daily basis. We have no time or the energy to keep reporting & complaining. Someone need to take ownership of the issues & fix it n provide a service for what we pay. We rely on BB heavily as is everyone. Tx for update
