@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

@virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

@virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

@virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

@virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

@virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

It would appear that @virginmedia ‘s approach to customer service when you wish to cancel a broadband contract is to just simply put the phone down on you..

@virginmedia What a surprise! Message on forum replied to, with.....”we can’t help you someone will get in contact with you” the same message I’ve been given three time already, yet someone STILL hasn’t contacted me! This is getting beyond a joke now..

@virginmedia Nope. I don’t like to personalise things but they were useless. Not great when ones family has been directly affected by COVID. I also asked for a copy of the web chat transcript so I could email a complaint to your chief exec, they said they couldn’t provide this - shocking

@virginmedia Well it appears to be a chronic problem with multiple Virgin Media customers that I have shared today’s problems with… the coincidence is just too obvious

Hello @virginmedia are you really that oversubscribed on installs that you cant do a triple play on a MDU thats already pre checked within a week, or is it staffing issues? Genuine Question ! Not helpful via phone at all. TIA

(@foulger_sam) reported
@virginmedia Yes we have a engineer coming out later in the week, a lot better customer service once we went though retentions onwards. Its a bit concerning dealing with someone asking for money to replace the router no transfer no case# and fraudulent ID thanks for the help tho 👍

@virginmedia I don't think I've ever had worse customer service. Im on the phone with a rep and I can hear her walking around her house, TV on, someone singing... I'm actually shouting HELLO?!?!? HELLOOO?!? I'll get a copy of the tape for some what-not-to-do training with my team

@virginmedia need a WiFi booster, 2 hours on the phone. Told to wait a week a see if the signal gets better before you will order one. Turns out they are out of stock so obviously just lying to customers about your stock issues. No WiFi for the foreseeable.

@virginmedia very disappointed with the customer service I just received on the phone. Absolutely disgraceful for an org to act in this way!👎🏽
