@virginmedia Just rcvd text to say investigating network problem instead, so you've postponed visit. Your netwrk is great when working, but you really need to sort out Cust Srvc because it causes very damaging press on closed group social media. You need to "Think Customer's Perspective"!

@virginmedia Not only has TV, Broadband & Home Phone, ALL packed up, for ours & at least 20 other homes, but you've told me that it'll take at least 5 days 😳 to get a technician round to change my Hub (which isn't even the problem). 🙄

Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

@Virginmedia When working your network is fantastic but when it fails you are disastrous! 😡 There are at least 20 houses near me with the same problem and you are telling us all that our Hubs are faulty. Hasn't it occurred to you that we probably have a serious network problem?

@virginmedia No. That's the earliest they can come. But, the real problem isn't the router. The network's been flakey since Christmas, (couldn't watch your UHD channels) & worse this last week until today when it all completely fell over.
