@virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

@virginmedia I’ve had 2 issues in last 2 weeks in Europe and away again tomorrow. You tell me all working yet it doesn’t. We reset everything and you had to escalate issue. Within 24 hours it started to work in Greece. No service in guernsey which means it’s not going to work tomrorow Spain

@virginmedia I think my wife would like someone high up to call her. As she is inconsolable at the moment. She has been passed from pillar to post on the phone for the past 90 mins and is still on the phone. My wife has some major health issues and no one seems to want to help.

@virginmedia I am waiting, for 15 hours so far. Am thinking of ringing the upgrade or new phone line as I'm sure I'll be dealt with straight away then. Ofcom will be able to advise me I'm sure with help of @MoneySavingExp

@virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

@virginmedia my wife is on the 4th phone call to you guys and is in tears beacuse she is stressed out by one of your operators who she cannot understand and has made her incredibly upset. My wife has major health issues and you are not helping at all.

@virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

@virginmedia Nothing about Wi-Fi on the service page but by looking at the other 1000s of tweets from people with the same exact issue I’m clearly not going to get a solution anytime soon

@virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

@virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

@virginmedia Hi Virgin Media. I’m a broadband and TV media customer. You recently talked me into an upgrade of super fast broadband. Absolute rubbish and internet keeps being lost. Just lost hugely important business call 🤬

@virginmedia Broadband is down and unable to reach your support number 03454541111 to discuss my issue. The website does not provide me an option to book an engineer or lodge a complaint. Can someone DM me - thanks

Part2 @virginmedia as low as 20% of the speed I am paying for? Besides the fact that my partner is working from home as a CustomerServiceRep. I’m simply paying for a service therefore I should receive it. If I’m not - I should pay the full exit fee.

@virginmedia @DeepSpaceMark Can we get a realistic update, the constantly changing estimate fix time is a real joke now. Everyone’s working from home, we don’t have the option of leaving our houses to get internet elsewhere!! it’s been 3 days!!! 😠

(@JamesRabbett) reported
@virginmedia Advisor I spoke with in December said our internet usage was pretty low...probably because we’re having to tether to mobile phones most of the time. She said she would get an engineer to look into our service and equipment. Turning the router on/off or unplugging it constantly..
