@virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

@virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

@virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

@virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

@virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

@damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

@virginmedia Well I’m trying to cancel but no one is answering so I can’t. Unfortunately i can get better deal elsewhere so will be leaving

@virginmedia But I'm sure you can explain why I was mis-sold a package which was never going to be honoured?

David McClelland
(@DavidMcClelland) reported
@Mike__Polak @BBCOne Virgin Media also has to migrate its customers from PSTN to digital voice (ie VoIP); in the event of a power cut the Virgin customer’s router would lose power, so yes, in same boat. Virgin does also have provision for battery backed-up emergency calls via cellular network.

@virginmedia Hi, I'm finding your website to be very difficult. I'm still being billed for an account I closed three months ago. is there anyone here who can help?

@virginmedia Thanks but this still doesn’t work and we can’t register the loss of service (have tried on multiple devices)

@virginmedia I expected sound knowledge from you. I didn't expect to have to scour a forum searching for help from users. I thought you'd be the tech experts. Your 'solution' was no better than "Did you try switching it off and then back on again". It just took more time...

@virginmedia how do you get through to speak to someone? My contract is ending and it’s gone up to a ridiculous amount per month, no one picks up the phone at customer services! I will just cancel the direct debit someone will contact me then.

@virginmedia is there a contact number for advice and/or complaints please? ATM, as a longtime customer, I am not impressed.

@virginmedia I have no faith you will - 12 months been paying premium for poor internet - now 3rd day in attempting to cancel my contract via whatsapp but your staff offer me a new package and then disconnect even tho i explicitly ask for the ending of my contract. Not even half of the story.

@virginmedia Started the WhatsApp channel and guess what, no one responds. Perhaps you should warn customers that it takes hours, days possibly weeks to cancel their contract.. #broadband #dreadfulservice #virgin
