  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

  @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 53 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 54 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia They should pay you automatic compensation thru the Ofcom scheme, it is about £6 a day. If they do not agree to pay it, then take them to an Ombudsman service.

  @markrmifsud @virginmedia Please provide details of the actual issue @virginmedia as it is clearly serious. Estimated fix in my area is now June 1st. That would be 5 days without broadband. Please don't reply from a script. Honesty and accountability are required for disruption on this level. Thank you.

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Pretty sure they’ve actually broken contract here

  Philip Cross (@jobber_phil) reported 15 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia so you had no internet for 7 weeks you say, speak to a solicitor because they have broken the contract and you should not have to pay.

  @virginmedia you are swapping from Analog to Digital phone service. Can you guarantee T38 fax protocol will work as before? and yes fax machines are still used.

  @virginmedia Good heavens. You think an AI response sending me back to the beginning of the bereavement process is in any way appropriate? It doesn't deal with my issue or answer the questions I asked. Find a human, a senior one at your place and do this properly.
