@virginmedia Internet gone again. Second time today. Bottom light goes white and starts flashing, then green and flashing. Then the arrows light up green and flash. I can’t get 24 hours out of this service. This isn’t what I pay for and it’s terrible service.

@virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

@virginmedia it’s 2019, your online customer service is so poor and your offline telephone service saw me waiting 15 mins and still in a queue! Given up.

@virginmedia Hi was supposed to be yesterday between 12-4 but got a text on Friday night saying issue has been solved. So they did not come out even though they didn't say they were not coming and I waited in for them. I think I have a faulty hub tbh

@virginmedia You could at least have an option to call back customers rather than keeping them on hold. Again, this is really poor customer service.

@virginmedia this company is an absolute joke. This is like 6 engineers numerous phone calls’ complaints. Can’t get them to call us back. Paying for service that doesn’t work!

So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

@virginmedia Also, streaming services work fine when using a VPN which indicates this is a Virgin Media issue.

@StealthComic @virginmedia The T&C change slows them to do this every year with no right to cancel. Terrifying tbh

@virginmedia are without doubt the shittest providers in the UK! Have been trying to get an install at 2 sites since Nov! Honestly the biggest bunch of amateurs ever! You get better customer service at a lidl self check out till! Cancelled and went with #BT instead! #*****

(@Sam_McK_88) reported
@Haggisman04 @O2 @virginmedia I'm going to guess the fee free cancellation only applies if you cancel the full package - VM and O2 - as VM allow you to leave penalty free but O2 don't. If you are just trying to cancel O2 on its own the usual early termination fees will probs apply

@virginmedia But no one to actually save endless hours by actually telling them the problem quickly on the phone and then they get paid to resolve the issue. Your system is designed to make people give up.
