@virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

@stephanemassey @VirginMediaCorp You should leave Virgin Media, I can pretty much guarantee the service won’t improve and you’ll be left with no internet on a regular basis.

@jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

@virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

@virginmedia Not sure tbh- it took at least 2 hours for the update to complete. Our connection frequently drops and is slow.

@virginmedia tremendous service had problems with my tv service for 3 weeks now which you still haven’t sorted and now you put my bill up and to try and sort it all out I’ve now been on hold for an hour shocking

@virginmedia Did you notice the "again". On average it's down 2 days a month.

@virginmedia broadband down again. Obviously a network fault, but system has booked an engineer visit. Given that my contract is up for renewal and the cost has nearly doubled, I think I am in the market for a new provider.

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@MrPaulTreadwell @virginmedia @Ofcom I’ve just spoken to a very rude lady in retentions. Have been lied to, apparently I was on the internet all day yesterday, I was in the office.

@Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

@MrCMorley @virginmedia If it’s anything like the ongoing outage in Four Oaks they won’t bother to contact you. I checked they had my correct details and I’ve had no updates. I’ve now cancelled my contract.

@virginmedia I’m getting an access denied error message. A quick google suggests this is a common issue.

@_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

@virginmedia Your website now shows: Network issues might be affecting TV and broadband services at the moment. Our engineer is working to fix the problem. Broadband is working again...

@BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

Waiting over 22 minutes thus far for @virginmedia to answer phone, as I have no broadband service. Service suddenly went when watching catch up tv. 🙄

(@PterodacDale) reported
@virginmedia No I was told to raise my complaint and wait for a response. Initially I was told 48 days or something then someone else told me 28 days and then another agent said I’d have a call back within a few hours. It’s mostly covered in this thread if you haven’t read it.

@virginmedia I have done this. Cant speak to a person. Simply a robot that does the same checks as your website, who again says intermittant service. Try our help guide and if that doesnt work....we'll get an agent. Nothing is helping. This has been happening every night for weeks.

(@Hiteshvarsani89) reported
@virginmedia been trying to get someone to help me for nearly a month now. We’ve started a new contract but the hub has not arrived and it’s been nearly 2 months. I spoke to @yodel and they’ve told me Virgin need to raise the issue with them. Can you help?

@WithingtonTony @virginmedia Hi Tony it is working now, the Virgin pixies must have sent an update overnight? They didn’t advise what they did but after 3 weeks broken with buffering symbol it suddenly worked

@virginmedia Yes I do although it won’t be for much longer. Shocking service.

@virginmedia 2 days low signal. Now told 3 days until someone can come out. Wonder what you would tell your employees that work from home if they said ‘sorry, pay me but I can’t do any work this week’. Not good enough
