@virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

@virginmedia take a look at the replies to your Facebook ads. Virtually every comment the same patchy broadband connection and absolute dog **** customer service

@davesumnersmith @virginmedia I have realised that talking to Twitter teams is of limited value. The responses are scripted and when they’re painted into a corner, they just stop responding. Customer Service has become a contradiction in terms. My daughter has had similar experiences with Virgin Media.

@virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

@virginmedia The issue is happening on the app so it looks like it’s duplicated the laptop using chrome 4 times. 3 of those need removing which I can’t do

@virginmedia The first agent was so rude the second very helpful said she hoped she had sorted the dates of my contract and the bill. But as yet the bill for March hasn’t changed l have no idea what is happening with the complaints. I’m so worn down by it all.

@virginmedia That might require quite an extensive overall of your infrastructure and servers however you could maybe start by answering the telephone - you are a telecoms company. Or does customer service fly out the window once the direct debits are set up?

@virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

@virginmedia One of your engineers came out today and altered something in order to try and ameliorate the problem. Since then, the problem has been worse and connectivity even lower than it has been for the last 18 months. On bringing this to the attention of the online forum responder,

@Virginmedia treat their customers with utter contempt. Their practices are cynical and bordering on the criminal. Their systems are hopeless. Their staff are incompetent. They shouldn’t be allowed to provide what is now an essential service and run their business in such a way.

@virginmedia Mum does this EVERY time - it's a faulty box! How do I contact you so I'm not holding on forever and pressing 1 for this and 2 for that and actually able to speak to someone! As customers for years you can't expect a box to last forever & never been new, always reconditioned!

@virginmedia are there service outages in E17? My broadband hasn’t worked for the past 9 hours. I’ve rebooted my router a dozen times. A neighbour says he’s had problems for days. I know there was maintenance around here recently. Is that the cause?
