And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

@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 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 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!

@oliviasolon @virginmedia virgin are a minefield, and it's not even fibre. pathetic upload rates (even if they say 1gbps download, it;s about 50mpbs upload max, at huge cost.) Pray you can get Hyperoptic (or CityFibre, Community Fibre). I can't, I use @aaisp which is the best possible on the BT network.

@virginhelp another great example of piss poor comms from Virginmedia. They’ve decided that during the day is tue best time to disconnect everyone and upgrade their systems without telling anybody first. Both me and my partner have been forced to take the day off work now all

@FD_Tweets @HubNutVids You joke but Virgin media has a massive outage in my area, lost cable TV, internet and landline services. Local Cityfibre have apparently severed the Virgin cable. Not for the first time either...
