@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.

@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 It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

@virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

@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 is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

@virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

@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 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 So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

Im trying to cancel my @virginmedia account when my contract expires and have had to make 4 calls and speak to 8 people. Why can’t you manage to transfer a call or listen to a customer? So glad I will no longer be a customer

@virginmedia Wi-Fi, it’s a 360 mini box. It’s definitely a box issue, my smart tv has no issues connecting to Wi-Fi and the box is always freezing and auto resetting

@virginmedia I have been on the phone to customer services about 4 times now since Friday. I have been misled, prices change every time you call up. I have been with Virgin for 5 years, service is appalling. I eventually got through to someone again tonight and then got cut off

@virginmedia I’ve just had my hub replaced today and suddenly I have a drop in connection. I’ve run a reset and tested the speed with only my iPhone connected and it can’t even find the WiFi signal. What’s that about?

Never recommend @virginmedia to anyone! I don’t have internet service since Tuesday and have called and chatted multiple times but with no avail! They won’t even let me disconnect the service without giving 30 days notice! @Ofcom

@virginmedia Can you also start giving payments to people when they lose service for less than 48 hours at a time?! As the frequency of us losing service for a day at a time is ridiculous…
