@jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

@virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

@virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

@virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

@virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

@lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

@jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

@virginmedia oh my. What a mistake you've made with the 360 . Somehow you've managed to take technology back 20 years, and charged us for it. If you're in virgin, don't take the "upgrade". Bloody awful. Stick with the tivo, or miove to sky.
