@virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

@virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

@virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

@virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

@virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

@virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

(@emmacooray) reported
@virginmedia Is there any clarity on what is causing the issue? As id like to set expectations to myself, the internet was fixed several times in the day and then breaks down again. So the service status fix time now seems unrealistic to me

(@linzid88) reported
@virginmedia We have had a stove fitted since having virgin installed and have now had to move the tv box, we have used an extensions cable we had but it is causing problems with the tv signal and on demand services. Is there an extensions cable we could be supplied with that will work?

Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

@virginmedia It's a technical issue first and foremost, but with data protection implications. It's not a DSAR. I've already checked your privacy policy and escalated this technical issue to your dpo team as they will be interested to know why it has not been addressed.

(@KerryScott27) reported
@virginmedia 6 days left of the 28 days notice to reply to my complaint. Should I sign up to @SkyUK now 🤔 Currently can only have TV or Broadband because the hub 4 i have cant cope with both. I have the most expensive package. Ridiculous!

thanks @virginmedia for transferring me, putting me on hold and cutting me off. Great customer service.

@virginmedia spoke to someone yesterday regarding changing our service, can’t believe you’d rather lose a customer rather than help them out with a better deal, £59 for basic tv and WiFi, £45 if new customer and you get a bigger package. Looks like Sky will gain a customer
