@virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

@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

@virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

@virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

@jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment

After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

@virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

@virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating

@virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

@virginmedia I’ve just ran the online test and been told there’s no issues but I still can’t get connected from my bedrooms or toilets so obviously there is an issue. Oh and I’ve also just been kicked from the live that too by the idiot person I was talking too! This happens all the time!

@virginmedia Just waited half 1/2 hour on your "customer service" 1908 line. Line goes dead as I'm explaining my issue that doesn't fit one of your boxes. No-one rings back. It's like you are using technology WhatsApp etc.. to hide from your customers. Any chance you could help?

Hey @virginmedia any reason you put the phone down on customers once they’ve been waiting for 15 minutes for help and have been passed between all your teams? @virginhelp

@KatherineMcKeen @virginmedia We moved and tried to get virgin installed. Several failed attempts to do external and internal work! Gave up, emailed the CEO and went to sky! Never been happier. Customer care was horrific. Hope you do t have anymore issues.

@virginmedia It does it all the time and we have to unplug and plug the box back in. The remote is also very slow and laggy. It’s just very frustrating for something that’s so expensive monthly

@virginmedia Already spoke to someone yesterday who accessed my account. They told me everything was fine on their end after running some tests. It's very clearly a problem with Virgin given how many posts are on the forum and here on Twitter about it.

@virginmedia Though this photo and that engineer finding this issue is quite vindicating. Especially after one of VM's Call Centre Agents shouted at me telling me there wasn't anything wrong with my connection and they weren't sending anyone out.

@virginmedia This is the correct complaint ref- C-0206211109. I have spoken to your advisor yesterday and have been informed there is no such thing as a Fields Team who will come out and fix the damages however you want me to pay for someone to come out at a cost at £90
