@virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

@virginmedia Friday I booked an engineer as the WiFi on our hub keeps dropping. At the same time I upgraded my package. This includes tech help. Since Friday I've had no WiFi. I tried website chat but got dropped I've tried calling but was waiting too long. I'm getting bored!

@AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

(@davidbrownley) reported
@virginmedia White, but ringing your service says outage in my area which is 'complicated' so taking time to fix, without any details on when. Having to buy Mobile Broadband in the meantime, and looking for alterative provider. Sad after 10+ years with VM!

@virginmedia Last week, I was without your TV service for five days, because the TV360 failed and an engineer was not available for five days. How do I claim compensation for that?
-
Daniel Ross
(@danielsjross) reported
@virginmedia Spoke to customer services. Despite 2 call confirmations that pod had been ordered, it had not been. I’d love to know what IT systems you use! Anyway, AWFUL experience. No compensation, despite that I pay you for this privilege…

Steven Whiting
(@Steven_Whiting) reported
@virginmedia you say it has to be total outage to receive credit to bill but the ‘intermittent issues’ we are facing make pretty much all the usual reasons to use internet impossible… work calls, gaming, streaming, downloading anything. Illogical

@virginmedia so a company that deals in communication YOU cannot actual talk to. Been trying to talk to a human for two weeks to fix broadband and tv , complete lack off customer service

@virginmedia can you please tell me why your hd quality is so terrible compared to sky? I left sky because of deal virgin had but now I’m regretting it. Virgin has been running for less than a week and I’m thinking of cancelling and returning back to sky.
