@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.

@Bluhawk1875 @vmbusiness Hope not! Maddening thing is they were working next door to tidy up the awful cabling job they'd done when they replaced our cable, the guy rang his boss about what to do with the badly installed cable and was just told to cut it! No check to see if it was live!!!

@virginmedia I have reported it at about 11.45 this morning. Wasn't given a fault reference, told a ticket had been raised and I would get a message to my mobile from field support engineers but it might be days before anything can be done. Heard nothing yet. Also raised a complaint as this..

@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 maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

@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 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....

@danhounslow @virginmedia They are bull shit! I sit next to the router and sometimes have to take my phone off WiFi so things load.

@virginmedia Please can you call me. I am ready to cancel if this is not resolved today. Your service does not meet even the minimum standard required.

@virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

@virginmedia SMS sent. If you think a replacement SIM will solve the issue then yes please do send one. Thank you

@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 It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

@virginmedia Unbelievably poor service! My broadband and phone line cut off by your contractors without so much as a basic check that the cable was providing service. Now got to wait days for service to be restored.

@virginmedia is a case of complete incompetence by your engineers. Complaint reference is COM103375838. Have had no contact. What you can do is find out why a manager authorised a live cable being cut and get the engineers back to reinstate my service.

@virginmedia When I have waited for them to speak - it's been trying to sell me something, or there's a "problem with my Windows" account (don't have windows!!) - basic spam

@virginmedia cable cut by contractors working for another company on public path. Without internet/telephone/tv since 18/05/22. Surely you must offer a temporary mobile internet solution? It will be quicker for me to find a new supplier???? Please help!

@virginmedia WiFi/ Internet crap again after a short period of not too bad following complaining and informing of our intention to leave. Discuss.

@virginmedia I don't know - if they don't respond to my "hello" after a few seconds I hang up because I know that if it was legitimate, the person calling me would speak straight away.

@virginmedia I strongly strongly suggest you switch providers from @YodelOnline this kind of service is appalling and doing damage to your brand and planned customer experience

Been on WhatsApp for 3 hours to @virginmedia to cancel part of my contract!! Several advisers and multiple requests to pass security I’m still not further on! Is it really that difficult???

.@virginmedia honestly Virgin Media will continue to be the WORST company I've ever dealt with and I'm done with them now. It doesn't matter what their support promises a billion times, they never, ever, do as promised. It's a frustrating service and I highly advise Sky instead..
