    @virginmedia Just tried to call to get a quote for broadband and TV - after a 12min wait I got to an operator who I could not understand or hear, and who in turn did not understand the alphabet. Awful customer service, was ready to switch from Sky but not going through that again

    @virginmedia The base light is a very light green, that’s on all the time. The Wi-fi light is green and keeps flashing. I’ve been running diagnostics checks for some months now, and it always says there’s a connection problem with the wi-fi.

  • Ntsaldaraki Natalie Tsaldarakis (@Ntsaldaraki) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia Of course: since Wednesday night, service is down due to outage and estimated time keeps being pushed forward! First it said 6:35 yesterday, then it was 10pm, then today 9am, then 5pm, then 9pm. Still down! Service completely down SE18 and looks like there’s nothing concrete.

  • boxer_junior Rocky Boxer Junior - MMA (@boxer_junior) reported

    @virginmedia ZR as I said poor customer service. You win. I did not want the virgin tv fixed as it’s rubbish and I can live without it. You’ve bored me to death. The internet coming into my home is poor. I’ll carry on paying for the internet that doesn’t work. Don’t bother answering.

  • Ban_Ana_Smith Ana Hernandez (@Ban_Ana_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia I have currently been an hour and 15 minutes on the phone trying to get hold of movals and disconnection team and they keep sending me to customer services. I can't spend my whole evening on the phone!! 😭

  • uncle_honka Honk (@uncle_honka) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell your resolution team that complaint reference C-2112201227 isn't resolved, cos apparently me emailing them 3 seperate times to tell them it wasn't and asking for a deadlock letter to send to the independent adjudicator gave the impression it was.

  • c_r_shaw Christopher Shaw (@c_r_shaw) reported
