@virginmedia I can understand the need for maintenance work to improve your service but why do it during the day when the majority of us are still working from home? At least do it late evening or early morning when no one is using it!

@virginmedia I have to say I’m completely done with your service. I have 6 months left, but I’ve had to purchase a BT package in order to WFH. The constant up/down of your network since lockdown has become a joke and I just want rid. #virginmediadown

@virginmedia every night this week at 7pm our internet goes down and is unusable. Can’t watch amazon or Netflix. Rebooted every system in our house and the hub every night inc hard reset...at our wits end and impossible to speak to anyone on your call centre.

@virginmedia Tbh it’s been ongoing since we locked down in April. I accepted things might be a struggle but as time has passed colleagues and friends are not struggling with day to day connection or having constant lapses in connections. Having spoke to CCare nothing can be done.

@virginmedia thanks on behalf of all virgin media customers for not being able to pick up phones to help those who need help but have no wish to "Do it on line" we haven't received any compensation for 3 days of no net even though we have registered it everyday. PART ONE

@virginmedia Customer service is rubbish not even a message back after my last complaint on here because you wanted all my security details cos that's safe giving them to you. Once again the box broke when you were having problems and I lost all my programs some I cant ever get back.

@virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

@virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

@virginmedia your customer service is so bad. It’s not enough to blame Covid for this. There is no backup or customer care.

@virginmedia @virginmedia I would love to believe you, but I have been told by 4 other reps that I would get one, but it never arrives. What do you suggest i do in the meantime? Can you get someone to investigate? Call me? No one is willing to help me! #badcustomerservice
