@virginmedia Yes I know! They are doing essential works but you say broadband outage and you get data on your phone. That is a breach of trading standards as apparently you don’t do that

@virginmedia I need to make a complaint and submit my bill for time wasted with tests that show me what I already know….it’s faulty and has been on and off for a long time and each fix doesn’t fix it

@virginmedia It's worst on 601 BBC News where either part or all of the screen pixilates. But it happens on other channels to a lesser degree.

@virginmedia are useless fixing an area so they break your broadband then get you to do lots of useless tests that show the same thing then ask for a reset that will not fix anything

@virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

@virginmedia offer volt speeds of 350 paying for 200 getting 60ish it’s ridiculous I’ve spent hours sending them proof when jitter high they think resetting it all and spending more hours getting everything back up will work and I don’t it’s only been this bad this time since

@virginmedia Hi, I've been on to the Service Status line, no issues. Used My Virgin Media app no issues raised with Broadband or TV provision. Still picture break-ups on some channels.

@virginmedia Every time it fails I have never been asked to do a reset. The last time they checked their system and sent an engineer who put attenuation on it as the jitter was high and the system showed a fault their end

@virginmedia Planned work which is fine but the advert in writing and on the tv makes it sound good that you get data on your Virgin mobile if your broadband ever goes down. Just finding the contact for trading standards

@virginmedia I already spent ages on the phone on Friday when I needed internet but you were doing essential works. I study, work and have a young daughter I don’t have time for long phone calls for a service that should work.

@virginmedia Still a problem. Programmes we recorded Thurs & Friday are unwatchable (& not available on Catch Up for some reason)

@virginmedia just found out as I’m an oomph customer on volt I should get broadband of 350 but getting 53 jitter is beyond a joke too. What happened?

@virginmedia The team have booked an engineer but advised changes on router settings that have made it a bit better until the engineer can fix it properly

@virginmedia had an email stating increased price on Netflix. I selected to change the package to a lower price option and you just cancelled my subscription! I have also endured 5 minutes of automated messages to be then greeted with ‘sorry we are closed!’ Jokers. Just fix it.

@Anubhav35580718 @Millroy098 @virginmedia Count yourself lucky that you haven't got yourself into a contract. You've definitely doged a bullet. Just go with someone else, someone who actually provides a good service for your money. I've never know such poor service from anyone, they couldn't care less about your custom.

@virginmedia Team have been useless, and when cold calling virgin media team called the other day trying to sell stuff when I advised that we weren't interested until you fix the issue she hung up. Refuse to upgrade us to a hub 4 & keep using second hand hub 3s which are garbage products.

@virginmedia At this point it could be either and/or both. It takes hours to get in touch with anyone and then I just get cut off or disconnected from chat. No one has a whole day to spend trying to get in touch with you. Your customer service is TERRIBLE.

@premierinn I just canceled an upcoming stay of 9 nights because your Wi-Fi is so abominable. Your corporate decision to outsource connectivity to @VirginMedia was a poor one, esp. considering how little responsibility on-site staff has.
