@virginmedia been on hold to cs for 20+ minutes. No tv service. Intermittent service for the last 4/5 weeks. I just want to watch tv. I pay £100s /yr and yet not getting the service expected. I think I will have to contact Sky for a comparison sad after 15 years

@virginmedia So now I have to ring to cancel because that's too much or give you a chance to fix the price. Both take time out of my day when we only did this less then 2 months ago.

@virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

@virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

@virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

@jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

@BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@Lionbites @virginmedia @SkyUK You’re very picky. We had no broadband service from @virginmedia yesterday morning and no phone yesterday evening. 20 minutes to answer a phone call. I think they’re all challenged for customer service

@virginmedia Have a word with yourself, this has been going on for 12 months. How about you send an engineer to fix once and for all

@virginmedia service is down Again in L22. When are you going to do a proper investigation into the cables and rectify your infrastructure. You may provide the fastest broadband, but what good is speed when there is an issue delivering it to properties?

What a shocker, seems @virginmedia are totally inept at any and all forms of customer service, response or acknowledgement, across all media channels. So as a Virgin Media customer essentially be prepared to spend the rest of your life on hold for someone to ignore there too!

@virginmedia appalling in Redcar. No service all afternoon on Broadband & TV. I've lost 2 hours work. Phoned the call centre. Minimum recompense if any by the sounds of it.

@virginmedia Currenrly experiencing downed service on my WiFi connection. Deadlines to be met tonight. I find this to be a breach of contract with the service you are to provide. A lack of skill and care on the part or yourselves. 😡
