@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

@virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

@virginmedia how do you log a complaint? It’s made impossible. Emailed the ceo weeks ago and no response

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

@virginmedia Do not tell me you can not instruct a employee to call me, you have communication means, simple, this is to make it hard for customer as possible @BBCWatchdog @MartinSLewis

Chris Hooper
(@TophHooperton) reported
@virginmedia That’s what I was asking you really - it says there’s no issues but there are; it came back this morning but cripplingly slow (not even 1mbps) and says there are no issues. Just wondering what’s going on as it’s so intermittent.

(@Jaarders) reported
@virginmedia Unsurprisingly, 48 hours have long passed and no one has called or contacted me in anyway as promised. I’m now facing a contract at a price which is over twice the price I would have to pay for the equivalent services as a ‘new’ customer.

@virginmedia How does one cancel a broadband contract (which I believe must be done over the phone) if your call centre is closed and the phones never answered?
-
Lisa Loudon
(@NieuwBloem) reported
@virginmedia Yes please! But not sure how much you can arrange online. I took over a transferred contract but have been overcharged since the beginning. I cannot sort this as the online bot doesn’t recognise the account and I have never managed to get through calling

Rich H Wand
(@Wandster) reported
@Jeremy74 @virginmedia Sounds like a plan. I don't mind a few issues but @virginmedia are upping my monthly charge to £45 for 100Mb broadband - no TV, no phone - just broadband. £45?!

@virginmedia All sorted now thanks. It is frustrating tho’ as it turned out to be an issue with supply but when running the tests in our equipment as advised on your website it said it was a problem with our equipment.

@virginmedia Nope not spoken to anyone apart from the CS Rep who said she would put through the refund for loss of service after my initial complaint
