@virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

@virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

@virginmedia So another platform that virginmedia can't help customers on, seems to be a pattern evolving here, the platform that your company says to use doesn't work and clearly visible from my experience and having seen loads of reviews, something has to change

@virginmedia No, they said it's because of some permission issue but the whole job is on our land so that makes no sense.

@virginmedia The strength of signal that VM promise was nowhere near what I pay for. I did the usual turn off etc to no avail. The signal is now at 300 mbps, whereas its usually around 700+. Still a way off from up to 1000 mbps as advertised.

@virginmedia what is going on? Using the internet via 4G it says there are no problems in my area, but when you phone up, it is a known problem, but there is intermittent service. This is not so as no internet for at least a week. Als told no fix until 15 March. Help please.
