@AidyDews @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia That’s exactly what happened to me. Upgraded to 500mg and the speed/coverage got worse. They ended up giving me 1 Gig for the price of 500mg & a hub4 because they couldn’t fix it. Took me about 10 hours & years off my life to sort out. Nightmare.

@virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

@virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

Not just me then? Twitter tells me everything I need to know @virginmedia your broadband is unreliable, has been unreliable for weeks & I feel like i’m wasting money. No this isn’t an isolated issue you just need to pull your finger out & stop ruining my evenings its 2020 ffs!

Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

@SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

@ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia Absolutely incompetent. Takes an hour to speak to someone, they then tell you you’re through to the wrong dept and pass you back in the queue. Took me 2 months to sort my internet out recently. Awful service.

@virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

@virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

@virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

@virginmedia No these error has been for weeks, they bought a new TV today because they thought that was the problem it isn't and we can't speak to a human being.

Is @virginmedia down again? Pay for it, get boosted because I'm with @O2 and I still can't watch a single thing on my fire stick. This is getting beyond a joke now!

@virginmedia First told it was a Netflix issue and I had to contact them, then told I needed to re- subscribe to Netflix, then I was told no don’t have to as it was a known issue, then told I’d made a change to my account (then confirmed I haven’t), now no one knows when it will be resolved.

@virginmedia Yes sure, 2 weeks in a row my internet playing up, reset this and reset that but it will not budge and I don’t have enough time to sit next to your ****** router and wait for the ****** service to come through therefore I would like to TERMINATE my contract. 59 mins on the phone

(@catherinealysh) reported
@virginmedia It wouldn't be so bad if it was still £39, or at least below £50. We basically have the same channels you'd get for free view yet are now expected to pay £66 a month. It's ridiculous. I don't think there's even a cheaper deal. Might just look with other providers.

@virginmedia You shouldn’t need to access individual accounts, “as you have advised there is an issue with some customers accounts” quite clearly a wider payment issue. I also have billing info from Netflix, which shows virgin media haven’t made a payment for my account for this month,
