Bought an Amazon Fire Stick so we can access @disneyplus (@virginmedia doesn't have it as an app choice). Got D+ so I can force @SirParker77 to watch Hamilton & Star Wars. Never thought I would dig the IoT element, but it is groovy to press a button and ask Alexia to play tunes.

@virginmedia been on hold for over an hour trying to get support with no response. There is no chat function online and no help for accessibility. Shocking customer service.

@virginmedia utterly appalling service from Virgin Media. Internet completely down the other day and now problematic to say the least. Tried phoning earlier and gave up after half an hour. Just tried again and gave up after 35 mins. What has happened to the service? It’s awful

@virginmedia so am missing the football again - about the third time now in about 6 weeks. Engineers have replaced all cables and router but refuse to accept it’s a network issue. How do I actually progress this or speak to someone who cares?

@virginmedia Still no response. 19 days and counting 🙄. It’s clear you’ve been lying to get rid of me. What are you going to do to resolve this issue before I contact ombudsman? A suggestion: you arrange for someone to contact me. By now it should be clear to you your support doesn’t work.

@virginmedia Yes dropouts Ethernet and WiFi. To be clear that message was not our engineer. Just proof prob is beyond our home. That neighbourhood thread is 14 comments long! We’ve had 2 engineers out. Cable replaced and hub replaced. Problem persists. 4 dropouts this eve alone.

@virginmedia Well since our exchange I’ve now been asked my problem and same security questions by an automated text bot 3 times with no actual response. Now the internet has just gone off again during the football. Think I’ll stop recommending @virginmedia to people now.

@virginmedia Still keeps going off. Has been like this for months now. Has gone off twice this evening. Can’t get hold of anyone. Self service goes in circles. Just need to speak to someone who will listen to the issue. It has to be network level. 2 engineers have confirmed our setup is fine.

@virginmedia This is the exact problem. Your agents deny there is an issue in the area. A recent social media post revealed many people in our neighbourhood have the same issue. All your agents want to do is ‘send signals’ to our router and restart our router. Nobody taking issue seriously.

@virginmedia I get that. But several people on there have logged issues. I haven’t used that tool but try it. But issue is defo at your end as between outages speed/latency is brilliant and other people have same issue on street. That’s why I’m so keen to fix not leave as usually gr8 service.

Damn. We have @virginmedia which doesn't have @disneyplus as an app. I signed up for it anyway as our DVD has a browser but no go. Think it is time to buy an Apple TV. #nohamiltonforme

@virginmedia why are you ignoring my tweets on the other thread you started? On your advice been trying to get support over SMS but it just goes in a continuous loop of the same questions for 4 days?!! You also don’t answer your phone or live chat? How do I actually get help?

@virginmedia what has happened to your customer service? I have been waiting since Wednesday evening for someone to reply ‘ as soon as possible’ about a fault. Currently on hold as usual on the phone. Is there anyone there at all!?

@virginmedia Your agent told me 72hrs. But then I was also told if I post on the forum I will get support. But we can all see how that has panned out. Just. Fix. The. Problem. Why is this so difficult? I guess copy/paste apologies are just cheaper than dealing with the real issues.

@virginmedia The phone line has same message it’s had since Friday with no time given. You accessed details on Friday when you said fix would be done by now so please investigate.

@virginmedia So many lies, defrauded me out of hundreds of pounds and ruined over 30 hours of my life that I will never get back to spend with my baby boy. Numerous managers of yours have agreed, but no one cares. You’re a shameful organisation.

@virginmedia Still connection issues and drops frequently. Have done a check on my equipment this morning, and it’s now coming up that there are issues in the postcode and that technicians are working to resolve. Hopefully it’s fixed soon as I need it to for my work.

@virginmedia so I have a WiFi pod. Looking at my network I can see that I have some devices close to the pod connecting to the hub, which is further away, with a fair connection, and devices close to the hub connecting to the further away pod... Weird.

@virginmedia Well we managed to get most things reconnected later on yesterday evening but the issue has been happening for a while - random devices will just disconnect and we can’t reconnect them unless we remove the connection and re-set it up.

My apologies for recommending @virginmedia, their installation teams don't turn up and the customer service is atrocious.

@virginmedia Intermittent outage caused by the TV box. There is no problem with the same apps through my Smart TV. The response is to send me to a diagnostic system that doesn’t work. I have even written with screen shots. No response.

@virginmedia so as expected a complete waste of time engaging with your whatsapp buddies. Anyone who reads this please AVOID AVOID AVOID VIRGIN MEDIA. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. IT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. GO TO BT, SKY OR ANYBODY ELSE ACTUALLY.

@virginmedia So what am I paying for as I sit here in the cold and can’t work. I’m assuming Virgin will be compensating me for loss of service and wages? And why if this has been a problem since Saturday why hasn’t anyone looked at it which was what I was told.
