@virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

@EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

@virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

@virginmedia Yet another Tweet you'll probably ignore. What's the point of being on Twitter if you never respond? Still harassing us over returning your equipment. 1st, before our contract ended and now, even though we sent it back on the day after our contract ended. Response?

@EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well, I’m getting nowhere fast, Twitter reply said they could help, but haven’t. Just gave me a no to text to, which won’t accept texts, and a no to ring that I already had. Rung again to no avail. Can’t answer anything about my overdue refund, disgraceful!!

@virginmedia The work has been completed within 2 hours, which is commendable. Have checked my postcode and sadly you don’t offer a service here, even though it’s only about 20 feet from where they have just been working.

@virginmedia Yep I keep checking and it keeps saying its down in my area. That's now since Saturday night. With no fix in sight. No hard wired no WiFi nothing. Alexa can't even talk. Not to mention my boiler works via WiFi which means I can't even turn my radiators on to dry my work cloths.

How does one contact a knowledgeable human who deals with @virginmedia email? The ‘help’ service (online) is beyond hopeless.

@virginmedia No consistent service after negotiating a new deal. Constantly losing internet. I've spent 3-4 hrs on the phone trying to remedy the problem + cost of the new hub/activation. Technician comes this afternoon, all supposedly fixed. Guess what internet dropping still.
