@virginmedia @Ofcom Just rechecked with VPN off - absolutely no better !!! But I need the VPN because the assigned IP address is blocked on some websites and @virginmedia are telling me it’s not their problem !!! @ofcom is this the way a service provider should behave - 3hours in the phone yesterday

@jasonsloan46 @virginmedia Landed up cancelling and going with Plusnet. I'm so over paying premium prices for subpar customer service & their product is so unreliable.

@virginmedia @Ofcom So surprise surprise call through to support - automated service says hub needs to be restarted AGAIN !! (8th time since Monday) but instead of the option that used to be there that allowed you to get connected to someone - now gives instructions and hangs up #badcustomerservice

@virginmedia Well good news, my V6 box lost signal as well for 5 minutes, and when it came back again, so did the broadband. The Virgin van was parked near a cabinet, so maybe that was him fixing a fault there.

@Omi1974 @sky @virginmedia Sounds like it's a sync issue. Hopefully reset should sort it. If it's one device try connecting with wps button. Should be front of hub and there should be one on ur Q box. Press n hold the one on hub for a few sec then same for Q box.

@virginmedia What a load of crap why did you ask in an earlier tweet then? Eh? Pure PR stunt - give that appearance that you’re concerned but I’ve called you out on it - why does that not surprise me? Perhaps @ofcom would be interested to know of this behaviour!!!

@virginmedia That's great but what is the SLA as I reported the fault on Monday? Life is too short to keep having this nonsense every time there is an issue.

@virginmedia I've not got an engineer booked for tomorrow, however it's the same every time there is an issue, be it phone, TV or Broadband, the service is painful and you end up having to keep explaining the same thing.

@virginmedia been waiting nearly a week now on someone to call me about moving house. We move in on the 20th June. Was told to expect the call within 24-48hrs and still nothing🤔. Only recently renewed my contract Aswell starting to rethink it now with the bad customer service!

@virginmedia I’ve been back as a customer with you for only 1 week, and already a multitude of issues. Currently, the absolute dysfunction of your app and website meaning I can’t access anything. Not even to find a number to call. #frustrated
