. @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

@lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

@virginmedia Before he put us through to the wrong dept. your customer service person was attempting to put us to technical to arrange a replacement hub (overheating, red light) That’s the stage we’re left at.

(@Radarbell) reported
@virginmedia Just to let you know after purchasing a 3 party router the issue looks like it solved, now getting excellent wifi throughout the house with no drop outs, just some feedback the hub 3 is not fit for purpose please stop selling this router to your customers as it’s outdated

@virginmedia No, I have given the address and they said virgin cannot offer the services in that area. It is in Cornwall in the middle of farmland. I have been with virgin for many years and to be treated like this is pretty poor.

@virginmedia 9 days, 9 days you've left my mother without internet/tv and your terrible call centers either say "we can't do anything" or just hang up. How are you still so bad at customer service?

(@LeeHammond1987) reported
@virginmedia It's wireless - but it's literally about 8 foot away from the router. Other side of the room, no obstructions to it. The connection is just horrible, I reset the router all the time now, and it still doesn't do much. It's just not very good, despite boasting the best speeds.
