@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

@virginmedia how do you log a complaint? It’s made impossible. Emailed the ceo weeks ago and no response

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

@virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

@virginmedia Hey @virginmedia how good is your service ? I did what you said and after 90 minutes on WhatsApp where no progress whatsoever was made you’ve told me to call you on the phone. Pathetic, truly pathetic.

@virginmedia I wouldn't know if the pod is working or not, all I know is that my WiFi is still unstable as it was...

The man
(@nofksgiven81) reported
@virginmedia The ironic thing is it took until I had to leave where I actually spoke to someone English and could I understand my frustrations over the appalling service I’ve had for over 6 months, if I had been given this service then perhaps I wouldn’t have felt the need to leave

@LauraKnight2010 @virginmedia This is happening to hundreds of people, just spent an hour on the phone to sky and this issue is swamping their technical team. I suspect a wonky firmware update at 3am is to blame VM!

@virginmedia Hi. I've had many work orders raised . Which are all supposed to be fixed and resolved . I've even got complaints open. I did a manufacturer reset on my V6 box 2 week ago. So my hard drive is pretty much empty now . I can see that your engineers have tried to fix the issue .
