    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

    @virginmedia Virgin Boardband why for the last 3 THURSDAY in a row that there is a Boardband outage in the RM26QD area. We work in a society where companies allow working from home. Called Customer Service who was just reading a script and repeating himself. Sort it out Virgin

  • tonks1984 Property Pilot (@tonks1984) reported

    @virginmedia Hi no issues with the service on there. Still drops off after 10-15 minutes.

  • _craigo Craigo (@_craigo) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia guys, this is beyond ridiculous now. We had an engineer out again yesterday for the second time. He replaced the hub along with some Ethernet cables, we have woke up this morning and it’s not working again. This has been going on too long now. Please fix this for us

  • HatsJohnny Johnny Two Hats (@HatsJohnny) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I'll try again in a few days. It's a terrible phone line as there are no options that are obvious for this kind of query. Such a shame you don't accept emails. Would be much easier for your customers. Happy new year.

  • Bullock1Ian Ian (@Bullock1Ian) reported

    @virginmedia Completed installation after moving house, ordered on 26.11.20, moved in on 11.12.20 with virgin engineer attending and ordered Repull’ as no signal - ordered for 16.01.20 and then rescheduled for 18.01.20! On numerous occasions this has been promised earlier #keyworker #nhs

  • Bullock1Ian Ian (@Bullock1Ian) reported

    @virginmedia I had to hang up, the accumulative time now is 7-8 hours on the phone and still no further forward. It simply is not good enough, and no one takes responsibility at all to try and get resolution!!!

  • HatsJohnny Johnny Two Hats (@HatsJohnny) reported

    @virginmedia Arghhhh it's a text bot. It doesn't work. Why do Virgin make contacting them so difficult? Will try and phone in a few days and waste another hour of my life.

  • HilaryGurden Hilary Gurden (@HilaryGurden) reported

    @virginmedia Rude or what! I’ve left it to them now to try and contact you again. Let’s hope they get it sorted

  • Rob_Hallmark Rob (@Rob_Hallmark) reported

    @frankieturner_ @virginmedia it happened to me with a virgin router. We couldn't work out the problem so switched devices off and found out it was white noise from a computer monitor

  • ClaireP1601 Claire (@ClaireP1601) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but that calling and waiting indefinitely to speak to someone thing is a problem when you’re just trying to help your ex partner sort this out. I sort everything out for the children, he pays the bill. If someone could call him that would be so helpful.
