@virginmedia That issue fixed itself. However, this evening we're getting the same problem. This has been going on for the past week on and off. I'm now told that the issue is estimated to be fixed by 2pm tomorrow - the service we've received from Virgin has been particularly poor of late

@virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

@OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

@virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

@virginmedia Please could you arrange for a customer service advisor to call me. I've been holding 56 minutes, and my line was cut off while speaking to a member of your team. Feel free to DM me for more information.

@virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

@virginmedia Hi please send an engineer to my house to sort out the useless Hub 4 box that replaced my reliable and efficient Hub 3. I have asked the community for a solution and they say get engineer out to separate the 2 and 5 GEXT. Fed up of paying good £ for a crap service!

@westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

@virginmedia So it’s perfectly fine for your engineer to tell the customer he will be back next day to fix errors and not turn up without any correspondence…. Like I said extremely poor service from your behalf.

@virginmedia a nightmare to deal with. Report a TiVo not working. Guy brings new one. Paperwork says free service and new TiVo. So you charge me for another. This month instead of £96 you’ll take £180. Great
