@kgardner081 @virginmedia In fairness, they've now been in touch, can't fix it remotely so are sending an engineer on Thursday to sort it out. So I'm grateful for that & 2 days to wait isn't bad.

@markdmortimer I won't. But just fed up with @virginmedia's bloody awful website! They want me to order/upgrade box on line then make it impossible to do! All I get is "oops - something went wrong" messages for a week now! And if you phone you get someone the other side of the world! Useless!

@virginmedia raised a complaint yesterday - promised a call back today but nothing. Calling customer services is so awful we've just lost hope.

@virginmedia I took a walk to clear my mind and decided all the hassle isn’t worth it. So I just rang to cancel the TV order. If you’d honoured the original request, you’d be getting an extra £7/month from me (and probably more if I upgraded my channels). I can live without it though

@virginmedia My complaint would be about the level of service (or lack thereof) provided by the manager who cancelled my original order, not pricing

@virginmedia (2/2) But still I’d like to somehow register a formal complaint against whoever deemed it unnecessary to let me know of the original cancellation

@virginmedia Still waiting! It's now after 4! You changed our old hub that worked fine - at your insistence - didn't properly set it up - my wife needs printer for work & uni course - now been trying to get you to sort it since Thursday & you don't honour your promises to do so! Poor service!

@virginmedia not pleased at all with your service. Despite three confirmation calls from you to me confirm what we needed, you have still not handled our house move correctly

@virginmedia Since the printer worked fine before you installed the new 3 Hub & perusal of the internet shows that this is a common problem with this Virgin equipment, perhaps you would arrange for an engineer to come and rectify the problem at your cost! Please register this as a complaint!

@virginmedia Repeatedly over several years. Get the same response each time. Nothing changes long term. I see from checks online that other people have the same issues so I’m now planning on leaving.

@virginmedia You were going to send link 20 minutes ago - since then nothing! Too late now, I'm going out! Shocking service from Virgin as usual! I've had 3 failed attempts to order upgrade YOU insist I have (with treats of reduced service) & you make it like treading in treacle to achieve!

@virginmedia I've been disrespected by one of your colleagues, trying to sort this issue out but you just want me to pay the bill when the bill is wrong can someone with common sense get in contact with me and help me solve my issue

I’d honestly have an easier time watching The Morning Show on my phone using 4G than trying to watch it using @virginmedia at this point. Useless service sometimes.

@virginmedia @JezTod Yeah just email and just not connecting. Had earlier which have now disappeared and box says last updated Friday. Am reading on your timeline others also having issues

@fdkin1 @NepentheZ I’m using the virgin media box as the router, and the cable is the same one I’ve used for so long, never had any issues like this on any game

@virginmedia It is impossible to watch anything on the TV without the signal dropping out several times over the course of a film etc, making it unwatchable.

@virginmedia Oh right on cue. A useless irrelevant scripted response 🥴 no issues. its been on going for months and still never been sorted and just get the same ****** scripted responses. Glad you have also missed out the point of paying the same for 5x less speed as a new customer though 👍

(@melissamckeee) reported
@virginmedia Can someone please explain to me why I can't downgrade to a TV/Broadband package without losing half the channels yet still somehow paying more than a new customer?! Going in complete circles with your cal centre staff trying to upsell me on stuff I don't want/need!

Hi @vmbusiness - how many times I’d it acceptable for a vm business connection to go down and require a router to be rebooted before it works again? I have a site going down ~1x a week and it’s just madness when my home VM connection is miles more reliable.

@virginmedia It’s been months and they never get in touch, it’s been back and forth with no progress. Please. Just get my internet connected.
