@virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

@BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@virginmedia I’m getting an access denied error message. A quick google suggests this is a common issue.

@Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

@_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

Waiting over 22 minutes thus far for @virginmedia to answer phone, as I have no broadband service. Service suddenly went when watching catch up tv. 🙄

@virginmedia Not sure tbh- it took at least 2 hours for the update to complete. Our connection frequently drops and is slow.

@HannahWestwood @virginmedia It’s on, it’s just slow. Supposed to be 350 and I’m getting 20.

@MrCMorley @virginmedia If it’s anything like the ongoing outage in Four Oaks they won’t bother to contact you. I checked they had my correct details and I’ve had no updates. I’ve now cancelled my contract.

@virginmedia So now I have to ring to cancel because that's too much or give you a chance to fix the price. Both take time out of my day when we only did this less then 2 months ago.

@virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

@ukhomeoffice @BrandonLewis ive one all this in my investigation to the fraud in court tht has a fraud log failed by @ThamesVP; via EE and well virgin media refused to co operate: fraud is easy to catches frombasic start of internet "the signal" for any signal to connect it has to have data communication

@virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

@jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

@virginmedia Hi Ryan yes everything went fine. Chris is going to email me today just to confirm everything once he gets approval but he says it will be ok. He starts at 4 so he said it’ll be sometime after that. Thanks again for your help.

@Cassetteboy @virginmedia As maligned as they are I have been with Talk Talk since the days of Tiscali and have never had price hikes, outages etc. I only ever hear horrible things about Virgin

@CameronYardeJnr @virginmedia Apparently it’s a scam. The problem is the company’s actual call centres are so dreadful it’s almost impossible to tell the difference

@Cassetteboy @virginmedia Best of luck. Their customer 'service' is generally appalling.

@virginmedia yesterday you emailed giving me 23 days notice that my broadband bill is increasing by £216 a year when my contract ends. Today I tried to cancel at the end of the contract, only to be told I have to give 30 days notice. Why do you give 23 days and I must give 30?
-

(@CameronYardeJnr) reported
@flamingnora @virginmedia This is the thing. I've never seen any follow up about it in an email or when I check online. And if there ARE foreign call centres they don't sound legitimate.

@virginmedia OK, if you ever get this mess sorted out I will be sure to use the same excuse when you phone me to pay my bill "I apologise for non payment but this issue has been raised with my bank and that is all I can do from this side" Thanks for nothing! #worstcustomerserviceever 🤬🤬

@virginmedia Yes and there are no issues in the area so it’s something in my house - my neighbour below is also having broadband issues. I need to book an engineer to come & check connection/equipment etc but can’t get logged in to do this either on computer or phone

@Cassetteboy Good luck getting it sorted. Virgin media customer service is the worst. Took me 5 days and over a dozen calls to get my package cancelled.
