Another dose of terrible customer service from @virginmedia on hold for 25 minutes just to drop a service and negotiate a lower rate for the poor service they provide - another offshore call centre failure! #badservice

@JasonHodge71 @virginmedia happened to me tried explain the issues I was had after a 45 min wait. He then kept talking over me when I called him about it he hung up. Seems par for the list of these Indian call centres. Have you noticed that you only get a UK based agent when you say your leaving

@Emily_Benn @virginmedia I use their mobile service, but wouldn't touch the cable with a bargepole. It's oversubscribed in London.

I’m having issues with @virginmedia broadband. App states no know issues in the area, but there clearly is. This is 2nd time in two weeks. Looking for help or ideas to fix quickly. I have reset the tech. #SpeedTest 👎🏼 #ResetTheTech #SwitchOffAndBackOnAgain

@virginmedia Hi thanks already tried lots of this and we've only had the problem for past couple of days so I can't see why it would be an issue with the Ethernet cable or positioning.

Anyone know why the broadband is down on @virginmedia in the BR3 area. This is the 3rd time in less than a week. It’s starting to get very boring, not to mention inconvenient

@virginmedia Yet again I get fobbed off. Complaints didn't respond. I had at least six conversations with your texting service and 789 and yet - nothing.

@virginmedia Hello, I've tried rebooting the hub and it has made it worse. There was nothing listed on the site as a problem for my area. I can't get through anything on Netflix without 4,5 maybe 6 stops to buffer.

@virginmedia where can I go for help with broadband faults? The message function in the app isn’t working and suggests the call centres that are meant to be open til 10pm but when I called the message says that all call centres are closed. Going round in circles here.

@virginmedia every night on demand is unavailable between 8 & 10 approx. Run tests all good. Reset no joy. Tech support closed. Shocking. Reeks of a network unable to handle the current demand on their services but still charging full price!!
