    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • cboxot
    C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles!

  • Scott_Wic
    Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

  • Lisa2672
    Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • samanthadoe1
    Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

    @virginmedia brilliant…received new 360 remotes. Zero instructions in box so have to find instructions online. Cannot connect remote to tv after MANY attempts. No way of getting help! Why no clear instructions in the box on how to pair??!!

  • felixeemopener
    simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported

    @virginmedia I’m getting so fed up with this. Every weekend. Every bank holiday. How long are you going to allow this intermittent signal to go on? I reckon it’s 4 weeks in a row now

  • dononerigby
    Riggers (@dononerigby) reported

    @virginmedia truly awful customer service stay on hold for an hour then get cut off I pay for services and then don't get them and then you can't get hold of them

    Dhanyaal Aslam (@AslamDhanyaal) reported

    @virginmedia your internet is a pile of ****. how is your internet always going down at this time and when i try to look at the app to see if its down,I NEED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TO LOOK AT THE APP!

  • FyldesHardest
    Kris Coates (@FyldesHardest) reported

    @virginmedia please train your staff to do their job and not waste two hours of my time messaging three agents only for them not to resolve an issue. I just want to cancel, it's that simple.

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.

  • formerprisoner_
    Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 cont… ombudsman. You constantly failed to deliver a service, made constant promises and failed to deliver on them, so you were left with no choice but to agree to the cancellation. You are quite comfortably the worst broadband provider I have ever come across.

    sarah🌹 (@sarahrsav) reported

    Imagine being half way through a chat with virgin media about WiFi not working. It then kicks me off cause of intermittent WiFi in the area (issue I’ve had for about 7 months lol) and now I can’t get back on to it. What a waste of 50 mins of my life

    Classic Virgin Media. I have TNT sports. TNT bought by HBO Max. VM email about streaming deal. Follow instructions, click "activate TNT Sports-HBO Max". Get this :- > Sorry, something’s gone wrong! We’re having some technical issues. Please try again later. Sigh.
