@virginmedia I'm aware of the line you're taking to defend the 11% increase but the point is that your service is rubbish as demonstrated by the third image. We have to chuck £200 to Google to get a hub that works. I presume you're not getting an 11% pay rise this year. I know I'm not.

@virginmedia So you can't supply daughter's new house with broadband and so insist on a termination fee?!? They don't want to terminate. You're the ones who can't honour the contract! Can you please help here?

@virginmedia He apparently told my neighbour that it will just come on at some point tonight? I don’t really hold a lot of faith with that as he had no idea what the issue was?

@virginmedia After 3 hours on the phone to resolve this issue back in January, I was told the issue would be looked into and relevant compensation issued. Only today have I received an email saying that the resolution is "Education given". The customer service to this point has been awful

(@bengaytten) reported
@virginmedia Yeah, great speeds for the actual broadband. However, the Hub 3 is awful! Poor signal reach and intermittent service. I work from home and require constant connection but the hub 3 repeatedly disconnects. The other night I got disconnected over a dozen times on a 3 hr video call.

@virginmedia Sorry, I don’t understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia If you had read my string of tweets properly, you will have seen that yes, already have - it doesn’t ‘explain’ the fault, it just says there is one and that Virgin has an engineer on the way. The fact it’s been down since about 1300 yesterday is most infuriating >>
