@virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

Do you ever get off the phone to @virginmedia and wanna scream. Been a customer for 15yrs just in this property alone yet they patronise me by saying I have to pay extra each month is my WiFi is to reach upstairs or kitchen (my house is tiny)

@virginmedia I keep getting told that there are no issues, but when I run the test, this is what I get! The test results were inconclusive We'd be happy to investigate further.

Honestly becoming fed up with the service provided by @virginmedia — feel like I’m constantly trying to fix things.

Feeling let down AGAIN by @virginmedia, 8 days ago an engineer finally identifies the problem is external cabling, another hour call on Tuesday and still no idea of a fix date or a call back, in the meantime constant broadband drop out #unacceptable

@virginmedia So your promises mean nothing nor customer service. I ha e spent so much to e explaining my self and my issue. If I say I will do something I will do it. When I rang the centre yet again this morning I was again assured that a call back would be made today

@Cathy_TwoHalves @virginmedia The problems include always being passed onto to yet another unempowered person eg. To get a code turn a bix back on post upgrade (should have happened anyway) took 2 days and several hours waiting to finally get to a tech, problem then fixed in a few mins.

Dreadful sales call from @virginmedia. I need broadband, Sky & BT sports. Best deal requires having a load of unwanted extras apparently. No attempt to qualify my needs just clearly underpaid & commission desperate sales staff relying on a very bad script. #badservice #badselling

@DuskyMoko @virginmedia it's so ****. does anyone have a phone with a good data plan that could be temporarily used as a mobile wifi hotspot?

@virginmedia your internet service is extremely poor and then I’m told you guys don’t guarantee WiFi & try to upsell me a product that also doesn’t guarantee a stable connection. Customer service is abysmal & your offshore call centre is far from helpful. Absolutely fuming 😡

@virginmedia Not unhappy with current offers. It's just that as an existing customer of 17+ years they're not available to me. When I look on My @Virginmedia page to see what I can get, it just says call. But one can spend hours on multiple calls that get cut off after holding for an hour.

Trying to get a refund for my recently widowed 87yr old mother in law from @virginmedia which really shouldn’t even be an issue. 1hr 30mins on the phone, 4 different customer advisors and no further. Embarrassing and a little degrading @BAFTA

.@virginmedia, true fibre broadband, 1GB, coming to my property, but yet, no news from @OpenreachHelp regarding #FTTP. In conclusion, Virgin has the money to install FTTP, OpenR doesn't. I suspect it will install eventually, but being a customer, disappointed it is not sooner :(

@virginmedia I’ve been waiting for an agent for over an hour now on your Live Chat - why does it take so long? This is totally unacceptable customer service
