@virginmedia you are a joke. My hub is now consistently disconnecting. Trying to work from home is impossible and what we pay is just not worth it. There are no issues in the area so tell me what the problem is #virginmediaiscrap

@SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

@virginmedia I am having problems with my mobile. I can make calls but can not send texts or access the Internet unless I use WiFi. Texts do not go through

@virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

@virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

@virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

@virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

@virginmedia No it’s not an end of contract discount being removed, worrying if it was since the increase is just £4., it’s for investing in service improvement. The point I was making, which seems to have been missed, is the current service keeps failing & def not close to 99% reliable

Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

@virginmedia @virginmedia issue was resolved in 1 minute after agent returning from break, surely could have waited 1 more minute before taking his break!!! If the agent is due a break maybe tell the customer this before starting the conversation!!!

@virginmedia This is a genuine question, what is the actual point of your Twitter account if you can’t actually do anything? Again, this is a genuine question and I’m not trying to be rude, I am curious.

@virginmedia I phoned up but kept on getting transferred. I've replied to my THIRD complaint case last week, but no answer yet. An engineer came and said "everything that can be replaced has been replaced" so I think we need to have a no-fault cancellation, no?

@virginmedia 5 weeks and counting. 3 engineer visits. Another 30mins wasted to your call centre today. Still no phone line. Worst service! And you still advise me to keep calling?

Hi @virginmedia - it's now 5 weeks of intermittent broadband, and I've reached the limit of following your online help (rebooting, hard resetting, removing devices, etc). Can you please supply a method of speaking to a real person because I can't find that anywhere online.

@virginmedia what is going on with the internet on The Wirral? Is there an ongoing issue? Tried multiple resets and followed online instructions and it keeps disconnecting. Is this your end or ours? Thanks.

Apparently @virginmedia are doing service improvements - did you not think to inform customers of this ahead of time?
