@virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

@Bluhawk1875 @vmbusiness Hope not! Maddening thing is they were working next door to tidy up the awful cabling job they'd done when they replaced our cable, the guy rang his boss about what to do with the badly installed cable and was just told to cut it! No check to see if it was live!!!

@virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

@virginmedia I have reported it at about 11.45 this morning. Wasn't given a fault reference, told a ticket had been raised and I would get a message to my mobile from field support engineers but it might be days before anything can be done. Heard nothing yet. Also raised a complaint as this..

@virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

@virginmedia is a case of complete incompetence by your engineers. Complaint reference is COM103375838. Have had no contact. What you can do is find out why a manager authorised a live cable being cut and get the engineers back to reinstate my service.

@virginmedia It is a media issue, I sent off the documents over a month ago confirming new account holder , no reply or confirmation this has been actioned at all. Weeks on end trying to sort one issue that should be easy is unacceptable

@virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

@virginmedia It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

@virginmedia SMS sent. If you think a replacement SIM will solve the issue then yes please do send one. Thank you

@virginmedia Unbelievably poor service! My broadband and phone line cut off by your contractors without so much as a basic check that the cable was providing service. Now got to wait days for service to be restored.

@virginmedia Nothing about Wi-Fi on the service page but by looking at the other 1000s of tweets from people with the same exact issue I’m clearly not going to get a solution anytime soon

@JamesTurner37 @virginmedia I am with BT and when they have an outage I activate a mini hub which they had previously sent me. It covers until the main service is restored and we retain the hub for emergencies does your provider issue these?

@virginmedia But that doesn't solve having no tv for the weekend does it, your the first to call if the bill doesn't get paid, but when there's a problem it's oh they can wait it's OK.

@BabsSheKing @virginmedia I was without internet for five weeks. Told I’d get compensation. Haven’t even had a refund for those 5 weeks. Complained twice. Asked for a deadlock letter x2. Not received. And my wifi down today & no response from chat/phone @Ofcom

@virginmedia That’s at least three different numbers you’ve suggested! I’ve tried them all. I finally got through to speak to a human, who put me through to a diff dept. Who also put me through to a diff dept. Who then said she couldn’t help and the line cut off after 90 minutes!!
