@virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling

@virginmedia As you can imagine, this has been discussed with many of your team, at length, with no resolution. The response is shambolic. Virgin is seemingly incapable of providing any service whatsoever in our case. Disappointing doesn't cover it, shockingly inept is a start.

@gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

@virginmedia I’m sure you’re really sorry...sorted now without any help from yourselves. I do hope your CEO is aware of how shockingly abysmal your customer service is and I speak from experience.

@virginmedia I understand all of that. I had BT before and comparing virgin performance against that ref.On a 54MBps plan, I never had issues wrt speed with BT.Same number of devices. Now a 100Mbps fibre plan from virgin and I get 6Mbps and not to mention many blind spots. Is this acceptable?

@stef @virginmedia @CuckooInternet Ah not available in my area. VM was all fine until June. Since then it’s been regular issues. At first it was totally dead internet for minute or hours. Now it’s these packet loss blips that happen.

@ChoudhuryJie @virginmedia I am in the same position they sent me a letter telling me to text them or they would close the complaint in 28 days. Spent 8.5 hours texting yesterday. Have decided to go to the regulator CISAS costs you nothing but costs vm every time and they lose 90% of cases
