@virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

@virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

@virginmedia No there is no update. Initially it says everything is fine but when you test my hub it acknowledges there's an issue. I've turned the WiFi off at the hub, and also tried a reboot from the wall, so nothing. Says connection failed.

@virginmedia are you aware that your customer retentions team are essentially just telling your customers to set up an @O2 SIM and then cancel in your cooling off period to get the best deals. I insisted and insisted that I didnt need or want a new SIM but she didnt listen and…

@virginmedia please explain why it is now a week that you said sorry you are leaving and cut off the internet and say it will take 72 hrs today, we get told the same again. Data breaches right here as well! We are going round in circles we NEVER cancelled @Ofcom

@virginmedia Please sort out my broadband? It's been down since yesterday am & I'm WFH having to tether to my mobile & use my data just so I can work. Your website is useless. I've registered for updates and received none. My contract is due for renewal, don't think I will.

@virginmedia @virginmedia #virgin360 so after second time of calling an engineer turned up in 24 hours. He has changed the box - he left saying that there is a possibility that in 6 hours all the errors will re-occur. He said I need to call for another visit. Fingers crossed

@virginmedia my Dad (and other residents in his residential home) have been without WiFi for coming up to 7 weeks. He ask for an alternative an no one has got back to him. These are vulnerable residents who rely on their internet connection and your response has been poor!!

@virginmedia When I phone the number to see what the issue is because online is utterly useless and presents nothing, I get the “this is a complex issue in the area” message with no time estimates, other advisors have given me estimates so I fail to understand why you aren’t able to:

@virginmedia I've called this number also and it provides a target time of 9.40am tomorrow to get the issue fixed. Why didn't the online service tell me this? Fed up this is the third day running with no broadband. Hardly a "network upgrade". No doubt Virgin will be wacking-up my price soon!
