@virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

@virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

@virginmedia So now moved to @vmbusinesshelp line instead of residential activated yesterday and new router installed with no problems. Tonight 7.19pm internet goes down? 7.45m internet goes down? I am paying significantly more and receiving the same poor line?!?!?

@virginmedia hi, I am due to get connected on weds. But you have just cancelled on me, this is the second time. The first time they notified us on the day. This is not acceptable. The agent I just spoke to has raised a complaint, but I'm not happy with this at all.

@virginmedia been having issues with my internet dropping out for the last few weeks and now it’s completely down. Service status says no issues in my area but when ringing Virgin I get the message saying there are issues in my postcode. Which one is it? Sort it out!!

@virginmedia I got a Hub 4 today. Just wondering if I need to send the Hub 3 back to you or if I can keep it? Like I said, I like having a fail safe but if you really need it back it's no bother.

@virginmedia It's not acceptable, this has been ongoing since April, virgin confirmed with me yesterday. They should know what is happening. It's just excuses each time. Now I have to wait 72 hours for a response to my complaint. I seriously do not recommend virgin right now.
