Writing this using O2 mobile network at home because my @virginmedia fibre is @unreliable. Cannot get to the internet or stream tv but on mobile data it was effortless. Considering going back to BT as they seem to be more consistent.

What a joke @virginmedia are. On the phone for 1hr 29mins just to cancel a phone contract. I ask them for an email address to make a complaint and they say they don't have one 🤣🤣 I will never be using this company again

@virginmedia Always good when you work from home and are told over the phone everything has been done to fix your internet speed, currently 1.67mbs and supposed to be 200mbs, and that the earliest a technician can come out is Monday! Great service, not. Time to switch providers.

@virginmedia Yes I did. They gave no reference number, but said I could call back if they never called me...nice...but no number or reference. Angelo in your call centre has all details. It was carried out by a third party of your sub contractor.

@virginmedia It’s obviously a localised equipment failure caused by the power fluctuation this afternoon, not “signal to noise” problems as your telephone operative said. Get an engineer out here and fix it now, please, @virginmedia

@virginmedia Yesterday evening. It was a call centre in Asia, in which they couldn’t speak very good English and sounded scripted. Very impersonal and never called back. #virginmedia

@virginmedia Absolutely disgusted with this service. Decided to change to another service provider, given 30 day notice only to find Virgin will not release the all important TELEPHONE NUMBER before 30 days up. How SPITEFUL Thanks for that😡

@virginmedia Reboot will help for a while but have to stop all in the family who still have signal for streaming radio, Xbox or watching Tv on the TiVo every time. How inconvenient is this for all due to a @unreliable service provided by @virginmedia. Had many other issues before as well...

@virginmedia My Children have noticed lagging on their game stations for approximately the last month & the Issue with the phones been connected but not connected has been nearly 2 weeks (this time around) & progressively getting worst. When we ring up, they can't even perform a line check..

@KaysGramma @LordSnow @Bjorkian15 @EW Think it would be much higher if it was available on more platforms, in the UK it's only available on sky, so the large customer base on virgin media would not be able to watch until available to stream.

@virginmedia Rotten lousy spiteful behaviour. All because I have the freedom of choice as to whom my service provider will be. Virgin, you’ve done a sterling job in holding things up.....childish. Well done. Disgraceful.

@Geoff_NUFC @virginmedia I got rid of my Sports package. £106 p/m just wasn’t worth it when sky put on games like Burnley v Cardiff. Me & my brother share a now TV login so we can pick and choose which games to watch

Well @virginmedia my TiVo box is stuck in starting up mode (2 hours) and needs a technician, not available until Tuesday. Piss poor service and your telephone manner leaves a lot to be desired. Waiting for you to get in touch 🤬

@virginmedia now into day 4 of the great virgin broadband SW19 outage. No internets as far as the eye can see, just patchy mobile data. But at least I'm still paying for the privilege.

@virginmedia Yeah it’s now updated. Thank you, sorry if I was off with you it’s very frustrating when we have one working from home relying on your service and having to take a day off due to the issues which is resulting in loss of pay

(@ryanbhambra67) reported
@virginmedia Called virgin to book for a phone socket to be moved 5ft, told it’s £99. Outrage as I was a paying client ( bt don’t charge). Put thorough to another dept, put the phone down, called again, explained again, i wanted to leave, was told to bugger off at the end.

@virginmedia I'm happy to do that. Is there a direct dial for second/third line support? I've dealt with first line too many times and done all the usual troubleshooting steps.
