    @virginmedia Eventually. I had to ask to talk to customer disconnections before I got a satisfactory response. Technician will call on Wednesday which in fairness is probably as quick a box in the post but with the benefit of a human touch.

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to call but just get automated, I’ve tried livechat but they say I can’t order a booster through that service. What am I mean to do? I just want a lead time on the booster. Why can nobody give me that?

    Moved in over a week ago and @SkyUK say it’s still going to be another 7-10 working days before we get wifi- shocking service as new customers who are now having to spend a fortune hot spotting data working from home. Calling @virginmedia today.

    @virginmedia our internet has been rubbish lately but today it’s completely down with no signs of life. Tried to check service on the website and your website says our post code isn’t valid?

    @davebish @virginmedia Singularly the most sanctifying dynamic in my life over past year... endlessly broken zoom calls, or burning though mobile data... feeling your pain!

    @virginmedia The WiFi has problems

  • evac90
    Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I need to order a booster ASAP! The ‘100MB’ WiFi i apparently have doesn’t even reach my office upstairs. No surprises when I go to order one online there’s a waiting list...how long am I likely to wait? Surely if all your customers need a booster, there’s an issue??

  • becshawyer
    Becca (@becshawyer) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡

    @virginmedia how can your TV go app on laptop be so poor! Keeps asking for device to be registered which I've done and registered the same device 4 times still won't work! How can a company charge so much yet have such poor software no wonder so many people pirate the football!

    @virginmedia Hi. Can you please contact me about my broadband as it is giving out a very weak signal at the moment. Thanks

  • ourmand1712
    Amanda Bullock (@ourmand1712) reported

    @virginmedia We are also paying for 350mbps and have the top package and 4 TiVo boxes amongst telephone and mobile packages. You get a lot of money out of us and we are not getting the full service we have been contracted.

  • simonlyall_p
    simon lyall (@simonlyall_p) reported

    And again @virginmedia this has been going intermittent for weeks now. Multiple speed tests show packet loss and poor speed. Hour+ waits on hold on phone to get hung up on. What's being done?
