@virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

And @virginmedia want me to pay if I decide instead of the uncertainty i want to cancel it and get someone like @SkyUK or @BT installed that can actually provide the service you pay them for

@AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

@virginmedia are absolutely useless. Have over 100 properties with Virgin Media Broadband, and you’d think they’d attempt to fix issues and keep our future custom. Safe to say we’re looking for another supplier if there are any recommendations...

@virginmedia As per last message it says problem in area. It’s back working now (see time of initial mail). 4th time this week it’s been down for prolonged periods of time. Not good

@virginmedia it's the same old excuses. Told it would improve but still the same old inconsistent service I've received during the whole of the summer. Can never get through to anyone, complete waste of time today. Shocking customer service!

@virginmedia Yes there's no issue on the checker. The connect app says it's fine except for a few times it's said the connection is poor. But 1mb some nights is ridiculous...

@HaydenHewitt @virginmedia All these companies seems to be as bad at the minute. @BritishGas are just as bad for their lies and complete lack of customer service!

@virginmedia how long will it take to connect us? Existing customers who have moved house and work from home…we have been told we can not be connected until 8/2/23!! Every time we phone we either get someone who knows nothing or get cut off - really really poor service 🤬

(@grey39432064) reported
@virginmedia I don’t needs ins & outs of details - I need an updated fix date & time as this is beyond ridiculous now and I’ll be looking at changing provider in a few days due to this, all previous agents I’ve spoken to via Twitter have been able to give me an ETA and that’s all I’m after.

@virginmedia what is going on. Broadband constantly goes down and now even the status checker isn’t working. Unacceptable service from what is hardly a budget offering. Time to cancel I think as nothing else seems to register.

@virginmedia We have been told the wiring can be done over the next day or so but the box cannot be connected till 8/2/23. I am a safeguarding Midwife who works from home and need to be able to get access to zoom and teams for meetings - it is a big issue! 🤬

@virginmedia These results are wifi as they are saved in a log on my phone, but results have been similar when checked over Ethernet at similar times with a cat 6 cable. I've checked the service plans etc and this has been going on for over a month now

(@GrumpyOwl) reported
@virginmedia The location of the box in the original post I retweeted hasn’t changed so if you check on what 3 words it will link to the precise location. Sorry, but the service status checker rarely aligns to my actual service. No idea why, but it never does.
