@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.

Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

@virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

@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.

@Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

@virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

(@ChanelleCreasey) reported
@virginmedia Yup! You guys never put in the correct disconnection date so rather than disconnecting us on 1st April you disconnected us today! Someone from your customer care team has said she has resolved it. Fingers crossed she has done it correctly! Would be a first for us if she did!

@bgrbandit @virginmedia Best way to cancel is send a letter to their complaints dept, Sunderland,send it recorded delivery, and then cancel direct debit in 30 days time. You have done your legal duty to cancel. They then have no leg to stand on. Meantime arrange to switch providers. Hope that helps.

@virginmedia service. His package (he only uses the phone to call friends as he can’t see tv or internet) costs him £50/mo. No luck from customer service.

(@jollybeggars) reported
@AnnCleeves @virginmedia The problem with Virgin is that while the actual connection is generally the fastest and most solid you can get, the Superhub 3 router is absolute junk, and will fall over at the drop of a hat. Get powerline WiFi extenders and it'll probably be great.

@virginmedia Sorry but I am in overseas now. Might not be the most practical thing to go back and forth on texts I am afraid. I have made a complaint about this, the complaint reference is C-260321963, but still haven’t heard back from you. Do you have any access to complaints please?
