@virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

@virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

@virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

@daniellebryce21 @virginmedia Heard nothing but bad things about them. We would never swap to them. They also are always knocking on our door trying to sign us up despite us telling them not to and a sign on our door stating no cold callers. 😡😡😡

@virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

@virginmedia Hello again. You're obviously under a lot of pressure considering the spelling and grammar issues, so I'll ask again - please may I have a direct number for second line support? You don't need any information to provide that - just copy and paste it from the support screen.

@virginmedia Hi HS. I did a few times. At first had to wait for a long time and then the Internet worked for a couple of minutes and then went down. The second and the third time, the same happened. The 4th time, I was waiting to be connected to your IT dept when it started to work.

(@ialc2009) reported
@virginmedia Part of the problem is that whilst chat/automated responses account for 95% of problems, trying to sort out a non-standard problem like this is far too difficult. It's already helping me make my decision when the contract ends.

@stuartctaylor @virginmedia Right? And then when I try to contact the complaints procedure (which I did before I tweeted) of course there's only a robot at the other end. Feels like one very long, bad April Fool's Joke 😤

@virginmedia I did that and it says it's fine. No problems detected. But then the fact it keeps cutting off begs to differ. Like I said my friend on the other side of town is having the same problem so?

(@jjvvvvvv) reported
@virginmedia Yes, an engineer was scheduled for this morning. They have not shown up. We are attempting to set up a new broadband contract and therefore the service request was for that. Please let me know how to arrange the webchat and we will join.

@virginmedia Hey can you please explain to me WHY i have been charged for using my home phone when it is NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN. This is now 5 times you have charged me for using my home phone yet i have never once used my home phone to call anyone in the 4/5 years I've had it.

@virginmedia I honestly don’t know what the forum is going to do if your outage continues in our area. I just wish as an organisation you would be truthful to your customers instead of deferring to different social channels in the hopes that we will give up and the problem will resolve itself
