‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

@virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

Hey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

@virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

@virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so

@Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

@denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

@virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.

@virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

@virginmedia Oh look just as we predicted, two times have now been allocated. 1pm and 6pm?! This is a nightmare honestly. You may as well tell us the truth now because I’m tired of how awful this service is.

@virginmedia No you won’t?! If you wanted to keep a customer then you wouldn’t tell them “that’s the way it is” you are clearly uninterested in keeping loyal customers!

@virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp I have already called them at least 4 times once a day... I get someone in a call centre in India and all they can tell me is there is an outage... So pointless tell me something I don't know!!!!!!

@virginmedia Yes it does but it changes every day to the next day... Your telephone help line is useless as it puts us to a call centre in India I believe and the only information they can give is the same as what's on the service status page. Just want to be told the truth..?

@virginmedia It is the big problem in EN9. I will however pass narrowing down my home to a handful of houses on social media. Your portal still says fix by 9am BTW. I have just checked.

(@AmyLouiseR) reported
@virginmedia I have already done all of the above and apparently there are no issues in my area yet I’m still without any internet. Considering the number of other tweets to you already this morning, isn’t it pretty clear that you have a widespread issue and it isn’t the equipment?

@virginmedia once again I am disgusted at your customer service phone up with a fault detected by your VIRGIN MEDIA app on my TIVO box. I am put though the trouble shooting and the attendant in the end says its because I have the wrong settings which might I say are automatic.
