@virginmedia Put something online or phone message when we call also despite being out since yesterday morning only been able to register issue this morning. Not great service really so likely to cancel my contract in new year despite over 15 years as a customer just too much poor service

@unsliced @virginmedia This does utterly suck though, I’m a business customer and rely on the internet during working hours, I have no internet, no link to the office etc. Funnily enough I just lent my redundancy 4G router to my daughter and then this happens!

It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

@unsliced @virginmedia One strand of fibre cable can transfer a lot of data. When they talk about a cable it’s going to have multiple strands so it can carry even more. It sucks that it’s down, but repairing fibre is not trivial.

@unsliced @virginmedia Sure, but no internet provider has a completely dual redundant system, if they did we’d never see any outages. You can mitigate certain issues with redundancy, but “cut the cord” in the wrong place and you’ll have an issue.

@virginmedia if our services aren’t back in action by 4pm as promised I will be holding you responsible for any actions that arise as a result of watching bad kids DVDs back to back.

@UKgovcomms government should be ashamed they are allowing companies like @virginmedia to hike prices like they are “based on energy prices” (when wholesale is falling) when we all know it’s just about share holders and not real customers. It’s all 1 big scam to **** real people.

@virginmedia That was a most unsatisfactory call, I could speak to no one, all automated and I wanted to explain that it was a hardware issue not connection or signal.

Hugh Crysis
(@DanteCrysis) reported
@virginmedia No, I literally just got off the phone with your so called customer service and they told me that the technician had changed the appointment to the 27th March because of construction (which makes no sense as there is something being done that would get in the way of the work)

@virginmedia don’t know how you have the nerve to call yourselves internet providers - £100 a month and wi-fi worst ever

(@michaelnotabott) reported
@virginmedia Thanks. Doesn't explain why I went through 3 people on the phone who literally refused to cancel my account. Apparently if I don't give a reason they cannot cancel. So I gave a reason.. still refused. Finally resolved this morning
