    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

    @virginmedia Been on hold for over an hour and just got cut off.l again. Second time this week. Absolute shambles of a company. Loyal customers = cash cows. I’ve always been happy with the service and product for the last 15years but enough is enough.

  • GillAJones Gillian Jones Designs (@GillAJones) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it is resolved. What I am concerned with is that this is a policy that @virginmedia put in place and no one in the organisation seems to understand why that was a bad idea.

  • bighandsmassuer marc (@bighandsmassuer) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done it through the app, it doesn’t really give me a better deal, tells me to talk to somebody! I was three weeks with slow running internet due to a faulty router, took that long to sort
