Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

@virginmedia not on all channels, I’ve turned the box off and very much doubt I’ll be turning it back on with such a poor service lately

@virginmedia As per usual there’ll be no problems in the area, I’ll get told to unplug the box, then you’ll book an engineer for about 5days time, meanwhile the problem magically disappears #badservice

@virginmedia It might be worth you reading my previous tweets. I have done a considerable amount of various things to fix the issue. Shouldn't need to call when you've confirmed by email. Unless you're willing to pay for my time.

@Bannedanaliens1 @virginmedia I'm having similar issues. If you pay by Direct Debit you can claim from the DD guarantee, doesn't solve the speed but gives them a kick.

@virginmedia I didn’t get the adapter, I rang customer services last night to tell them and was told that would be sent out to me. Told I would receive confirmation of that but just received an email today saying my account is ready for a phone upgrade yet.

@virginmedia Waiting all day today for Engineers to turn up. No ones turned up. Calling your customers service number is useless to get an ETA. Are they still coming? Its obviously night time not sure how your engineers going to do exterior work at night. Had organise access for them.

@virginmedia Yes I’ve done all of that and my phone is saying ‘Check phone line’. My land line has been off since last Friday. Ever since it was swapped over to your fibre network and the new adapter fitted to the back of the router. I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving.

@virginmedia The internet in our house has began to regularly cut out and refuse to reconnect for hours at a time. As someone who works from home but doesn't own the Internet box, what can I do? (We've done all the standard restart, power off for 30 secs stuff)
