@lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

. @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

@virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia I cannot even begin to explain how inept the customer service has been with my on boarding experience. I have been cut off on no less than 6 occasions. I have been outright lied to and overcharged and I still have literally no idea when my connection will be active.

@virginmedia hi, you upgraded my internet for being a long standing customer from 500 to 700 or something but now I get 140 max mbs? Was fine a week ago I was getting 460 etc but since you made the change to ‘increase’ it’s drastically dropped

@virginmedia I did. They told me I couldnt raise a complaint, that they cant install until the 30th and that the groundwork has been done. Thats why i contacted you.

@virginmedia I just want to say that I called that number. Worst customer journey experience. 5 people I had to speak to. Didn't get a replacement and now having to wait till Tuesday for a technician without virgin. When there was a fault in area and not working since then?

@virginmedia Thank you for responding. However that reset has already been tried but not worked. Please can a technical support person get in touch by phone?

@virginmedia Surely the costs are minimal considering you already supply me HD entertainment & ahad movies. I have been a customer for over 10 years now. I wouldn’t actually call that customer loyalty.
