@virginmedia Just now. The service is appalling. They have no up-to-date info on faults, they can’t explain why faults often happen in SW5 9, and point blank refused to put me through to someone who could explain the faults, and also refused my request for a call back from a Uk based manager

@RuthPetrie1 @virginmedia @Ofcom Thanks I don’t hold out much hope . Someone had informed me the issues are to do with them not upgrading the cabinets you see on the pavements outside. The older cabinets cannot Cope with high usage !!! @ofcom

@virginmedia No error. It just fails to connect. The Tick actually appears in the Wi-fi settingswhich makes it seem that the @o2 advert will pop up (the final step before connecting) but it never does. I have restarted my phone several times.

@RuthPetrie1 @virginmedia Same for me. They’re a disgrace . When you phone their offshore call centre , rude operatives try to tell you it’s a loose cable on your box. Tv and broadband outages daily for me for last few weeks in sw5 @ofcom

@virginmedia I have raised many complaints . I just had a reply by email in broken English weeks later. The reply made no sense. Three weeks on the faults continue @ofcom

@virginmedia My issue is that this happens all the time . It’s about the seventh fault in as many days . The tv and broadband both constantly go down , service is totally unreliable . So even if you ‘fix’ it, it will probably only work for a few hours @ofcom

(@JamieFrodoMMA) reported
@virginmedia customer service is genuinely the worst I've ever interacted with. Your agents are condescending, unhelpful and generally full of sh*t. I've spent the past four weekends trying to complete my service change and have now been charged for a service I no longer have.

@virginmedia No fix time all engineers have left the area. Half our street have been left with no internet, phone and TV. Not the best way to start the weekend.

@virginmedia hello, twice now on a Friday at this time my router is failing to connect to the internet. The WiFi symbol is solid but the two connect buttons keep flashing and I cannot connect. GU111YX shows on the service status of your website as having no issues. Please help!

@virginmedia we have been without internet and telephone all day! We run a business and cannot do the postage for orders today! Please advise on the issue and when it will be resolved.

(@Wocker35) reported
@virginmedia Yes I did lodge a complaint. I cannot understand why force customers to sign 2 contracts 1 with another company. This may effect credit scores for some 🙁. It’s not logical. Happy to speak to a manager.

@virginmedia Do you still have live chat available for customer service? I can’t find it anywhere on your website. I find it much more preferable than a telephone call.
