@lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

@jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

@jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

@virginmedia you’re broadband service is disgusting! Down more times than enough and your call centre staff are totally clueless! I guess I’m looking for a new service provider!

@virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

@virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

@virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

@virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

@virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

Anyone else in Belfast spending their time whilst @virginmedia is down looking for better broadband and tv deals. 11.15pm tonight estimated time for it all to be working. Disgraceful.

@ScottishHeaz @virginmedia That’s grim. I thought I was bad for three different outages in one day. They need to sort this out. So much for the power and reliability of fibre.

@virginmedia Been offline 2 weeks. Been advised different things. Ultimately no end in sight. Supposed to be called by a manager today. Didn't happen. Appalling service on the phone. Thoroughly disgusted with with process.

@virginmedia I see nothing on the sign up form that's account specific, so presumably there's no difference between information provided here or on your forum. Why can't your support people DM customers here too?
