@MingSwift The TV service is great but if we can’t rely on our WiFi in a connected home, it’s not worth it. Have made a complaint. If they don’t offer an upgraded hub (which they’ve not before) and compensation/reduced bill (gone up by £14 since Sept), we’ll be gone. @virginmedia

@CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

@squelchuk @MingSwift @virginmedia We have a good box. That took long enough to get upgraded. I would try a superhub3… but I want a signal that gets around the house too, as well as reliability!

@virginmedia Tried the chat everyday for the past 5 days and it is not working. Due to recent changes with someone at household moving out I do not need the landline anymore,and wanted to discuss my options as I do not want to pay monthly for a service I am not using

Made a complaint to @virginmedia 10 days ago via their online service with a 7 day anticipated response time and yet have heard nothing since the acknowledgement of my complaint. This basically sums up my experience over the past year of ineffective response to our issues.

@virginmedia 6 week a ago we lost all service, finally got an appt for yesterday to have cable dug up and reconnected. Engineer rang twice to check contractors had done street work - no. Assured by CS it would be done, it wasn't. Now another 2 weeks! You just don't care!

And once again we are unable to use our @virginmedia wifi. When I called customer services today they took nearly 10min to answer, asked the same basic questions repeatedly and then cut me off without even starting to resolve anything! Bloody useless. Issues since May 2018.

@virginmedia why can't I take advantage of the Full House Sports Bundle... So what if I'm a existing customer, you've got me by the ***** anyway with the broadband. May as well just cancel and go elsewhere

@virginmedia I don't think much will happen given virgin's track record but on the plus side you've given lots of material for my delegates on next Saturdays Customer Service module.

@virginmedia What would really help is a separate sales number to call and to speak with an agent straight away with no ‘system’ to navigate and who understands my disability and can help me to sign up if I want to :~}

@virginmedia Broadband issues since May 2018. Multiple calls to customer service with no permanent fix. Last time I called I was asked the same questions repeatedly then cut off. Want a new hub that works and a bill review as it’s gone from £65 to £79 since Sept 2018!

@virginmedia That’s really a moot point considering how awful the service has been for the last month.

@virginmedia Yes it’s been a ‘known issue’ for two days now but still zero communication. Impossible to work from home. Guessing your not going to pay for my overtime though?! #useless

I have spoken to customer support @virginmedia but they had no clue as to what the issue could be despite the connection error message asking me to contact my service provider. This used to work seamlessly for me. PS: The issue is not isolated to one specific station or device

(@MythicalIdi0t) reported
@virginmedia more incredibly awful broadband service and customer service is even worse. and still trying to use Covid as an excuse for your incompetence, we pay for your service and you provide a fraction of it. And then your engineers pass blame to me xD

@VirginMediaIE Guys it's been days of bad or inexistent connection. I have no internet at all in D7 since yesterday. But still no reply from Virgin Media There are dozens of people reporting issues and still Virgin Media makes no statement on its website or Twitter page.

@virginmedia Now it's updated and showing a general outage. Luckily I am an Oomph customer and the mobile internet is still working and I'm using it as Hotspot. But still not ideal. Hopefully this gets solved sooner than the 6.50 pm time slot.

@virginmedia really appalled with our experience as a new customer (15years with previous supplier). Mix ups with installation. Overcharged. Waiting in for installers not turning up. Closing of a complaint that was escalated. Chasing. No resolution. Want to leave already!
