    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • Eleventy8to9 Eleventy8to9 (@Eleventy8to9) reported

    @virginmedia I’d love to be able to rely on either the service checker or the status line but as I have found over the last 3 weeks they contradict each other 1 day the service checker says no issues and the status line says their are issues the next day the complete opposite

  • CosmicSpacehead 🚀🎮Cosmic Spacehead🎮🚀 (@CosmicSpacehead) reported

    @virginmedia hello, I ordered installation of virgin media for today, but I've had no contact since the pre-contract email, no equipment, no account number or area reference, and whenever I call I get cut off. Help!

  • Eleventy8to9 Eleventy8to9 (@Eleventy8to9) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me if there is an issue in the BR5 area I had an engineer booked that was cancelled as told the issue had been fixed Still getting continual drop outs and no service Issues been ongoing 3 weeks now and it’s unacceptable

  • MI5_Spook Dave (@MI5_Spook) reported

    @virginmedia So, I asked today if I can upgrade my Hub4 to Hub5, but was told by staff that they are unable to specify what version Hub customers get! Come on @virginmedia there must be a way a Hub4 customer can upgrade to a Hub5 easily. The Hub4 is a bottleneck for customers networks!
