16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia Haven’t had broadband for almost a ten day period now. From resetting the hub to a technician visit, everything has been done. Tell me, what does it take to get those blinking green lights to go away? Appalled and frustrated with the horrible service!

Another day, another @virginmedia outage. Always seems to be around this time too. Luckily @grainconnect has just installed fibre in our street so don't have to put up with this much longer.

@virginmedia I guess the only way to fight it is simply not to take a match price when I phone to cancel. Appreciate this is a higher level issue than customer service, but if you have a route to feed back up into the system, it would be good.

@virginmedia Every single night? Good one. Additionally, any other company I've been with issues a simple "Please note, due to scheduled maintenance on X between Y and Z you may experience disruption to your service." in advance, so that their users are aware and can expect it.

@virginmedia You can obviously figure out what the going rate is for providers that can match your service in my area. You also ought to know from your CRM that I'm not interested in upsales. So why force me to go through the palava? It's an anti-pattern and /2
