@virginmedia additionally we spoke to four advisors, who told us a ‘manager’ would call back in 24/48 hours - this never happened. What sort of company is this? She is SEVENTY FIVE years old, shame on you. Now she is stuck in her contract. It’s been one month

@virginmedia We haven't had a stable connection since January and our internet drops out at least 20 times a day. Your customer service line is anything but useful, as no one seems to be able to figure out the issue that is causing this consistently inconsistent internet service.

@virginmedia Think the menu options are slightly different on the 360 software but I found network diagnostics and signal quality is “Good” and connection speed is “high”. Does that help?

@virginmedia Not expecting a fault free service but an entire day with no Wifi when working from home is not acceptable in the slightest! The texts said some disruption not no service at all? Compensation is required!

@ThreeUKSupport I appreciate that but I’m currently in a position where @virginmedia are useless and unable to fix cables and you now working on masts meaning I can’t even use my phone network. So between both multi million pound companies you’re screwing me royally!!

@virginmedia a text to say there may be disruption to services is not the same as no wifi or TV since 8am and not expected back on until 4pm?! Can’t speak to anyone on the phone either! Not acceptable especially when I am having to cancel important work meetings?! Furious!

@virginmedia Yes. I’m unhappy with 4 weeks of outages. Who wouldn’t be? Customer service is of course closed. But thanks for the platitudes. They have helped a lot. @richardbranson you’re better than this.

@leonagraham @virginmedia Best one was last week when workmen cut through our UFO cable (not Virgin). Lady on the tech help desk still insisted she needed to check my line speed before proceeding! The cable was in two pieces, she sounded surprised when it came back as zero! 🤔🤨

How are people mean to work from home without wifi @virginmedia?! This should be a part of my get out clause cause there’s no way I’m paying £240 to leave when I’m not getting the service I’m paying for.
