@virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

@virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

@virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

@virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

@virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

@virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

@virginmedia I can, but I've already gone through Web chat and phone calls, why would it be different? Is there a way to create an official complaint and track it, to have a proof you're doing nothing to solve the issue but still taking my money?

(@alan_manu7) reported
@virginmedia I always check that but there’s never anything in the area when I check. I cause all devices connected to stop working as well

@virginmedia We contacted your support AGAIN and ask to be refunded of the last two bills since we don't have the hub. The person said the hub 5 was out of stock and we'd get it "later" and would be reimbursed. We haven't seen our money back and have no news about the hub.
