@virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

If 2020 was an Internet provider it would be @virginmedia Solve the problem of losing IP address by restarting router. It was restarting the router that caused it. Restarted anyway and now the router won't connect to the Internet and all devices say no IP address #stressed

@virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

@virginmedia The problem with the search facility is that it brings up multiple episodes but none of them have dates on. This needs addressing please!

@virginmedia They keep closing it and I have to start from scratch. The issue is that my contract and my sales agreement are different. I thought I was getting somewhere last night when an advisor told me they’d get a manager. Instead they closed my chat

@virginmedia Did that 6 days ago, someone was calling me back. Sent a complaint and not heard anything but I know replies take longer with this. Everytime I speak to someone they cant help or tell me to call. I’ll put this down to a bad decision on my part and go back to Sky. No TV in 5 days.

@virginmedia Hi thanks for coming back to me, the service was very intermittent yesterday evening - basically didn’t work but showing signs of improvement this morning. It seems to be working on all devices except my iPhone, albeit slower than usual. Are you investigating issues in N19 area?

@virginmedia Router installed 2 days ago and engineer found the external line faulty. No calls from anyone on when this will be fixed, sales rep not taking my calls and customer service waiting time is a joke. If it's not sorted soon I'm cancelling and staying with BT.

@virginmedia NO RESPONSE FROM ANYONE. It’s an utter disgrace. Not improving at all you’re making it IMPOSSIBLE to cancel. Please answer this question directly-how do I cancel?

Dear @virginmedia #VirginMedia I have never experienced such shite customer service. Utterly utterly shocking, remote working or no remote working, is there anyone working. If a communications company can't do better? And your website is also pants. Yours non-faithfully,

@virginmedia Did you read the post & the screenshot of the email claiming someone phoned me? I don’t think I’ve been this furious for a long time. I will not wait on hold another min. It’s been hours over weeks. I want to *cancel* my tv package. I’m not repeating myself for 5th time. DM me.
