16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

@virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

@virginmedia Hi! It's been two weeks now and my internet is still going down... Do you know when it will be secure again - it's just really inconvenient with working from home 🥺🙏

(@Stanton_J) reported
@virginmedia I appreciate you offering a number but the problem will still exist and it will continue to go round in circles without someone owning the problem @virginmedia. It’s not fair for customers to have to keep chasing up some issue that shouldn’t be there.Surely there is a better way?

@virginmedia I already have messaged this number! What is going on with your service I'm seeing soooooo many complaints that are exactly the same- not being able to get through and broadband services not working. I have even emailed your CEO and his team haven't responded. Don't you care?

The only time @virginmedia answer the phone promptly is if you want to cancel or upgrade... they do not seem to be interested in answering when you have a fault.

@virginmedia Hi. Existing customer here. Disappointed with the trouble I'm having transferring services to my new address - you keep changing/not confirming the date. Makes WFH tricky during a pandemic. Message me x

@virginmedia Probably 25 days off poor/no customer service, not getting what I pay for. Fobbed off, lied to, cut off. Hours of waiting to speak to someone who cannot help. Been told to text a number which does not reply.

@virginmedia Right now I’m waiting for the credit cheque you owe me - something that takes 45 days to raise allegedly. And when I call up to enquire, getting someone who can speak English and isn’t rude.
