    @virginmedia moved house today, supposed to have been reconnected but you have a problem you knew about for days. Arrive and tell me not today mate! I’ve gotta go get data from #Vodafone now. After 20 years, it’s like my wife leaving.

    @virginmedia Hi! Our landline is being switched over to fibre on the 4th October, however our landline and WiFi hub are not on the same floor so we cannot connect them. Help please!

  • CathyTVNews
    Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • lissaburns
    Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

  • pBullox
    Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

  • TheTomothy
    Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • tRed20
    Tony Redmond (@tRed20) reported from Basingstoke, England

  • pBullox
    Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • MatildaDr
    Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • JobbyOvy
    Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    Phoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

  • lissaburns
    Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

    Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

    @virginmedia no availability to check service levels, awful system of a series of questions before you get through to report a fault, then awful hold tune, only for the call to terminate after an hour. Dreadful, dreadful customer service.
