@virginmedia No someone has deleted it overnight after saying they could help via DM. This is appalling behaviour-it was whoever was tweeting yesterday.

@liveseytowers @virginmedia @SkyUK Thanks I just might as I have never gave them any information. They had my mobile number and email address. So I need to get to the bottom of the problem 🤔

@virginmedia shocking service so far. Ordered our broadband a month in advance of our house move as is essential because we’re both working from home. Been in a week and had delivery of my hub but still not able to connect. Advice is always just to wait and it will come online.

@virginmedia I have had to email your DPO department again today for an update as it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since last reply. This has been rumbling on for a month. Your customer service is shocking. Who do I need to complain to? @Offcom?

@virginmedia how can I contact you in regards to removing premium channels from my account please? Have tried calling a number of times but cannot get through to a human. Is there a webchat service or similar?

@virginmedia I dont want an account with you to send a complaint. I do not want to be your customer. All I want is to get this resolved. Do I have to go through @Offcom to resolve the issue issue?

@jonWturney @virginmedia If only they DID invest in their network. They bought Telewest in a fire-sale many years ago and have spent barely a penny on it. My guess is that they are able to ‘upgrade’ your speed because all of your neighbours have switched to BT, who actually have invested.

@mouthwaite @virginmedia All of the wi-fi providers are rubbish. I am with BT and had to make several complaints about poor signal. You would be better off with a pay as you go dongle to be perfectly honest.

Today's @virginmedia update... 9.46 I connected to the messaging service. At 10.48 I was put through to the correct department. Still waiting. 5.5 hours so far. Carrier pigeon may be quicker 🤔 So far over 3 days I have been waiting on their messenger thing for 12.5 hours.

@virginmedia another 5 days waiting for a call back .. and this was after my case had been ‘elevated’ and a promise for all to be sorted on a Friday - more broken promises / what do you suggest now ? Just leave after 22 years ? @MartinSLewis @WhichUK - all details being recorded

AGH! 40 mins waiting on the phone to find out that @virginmedia will not help you understand why the internet service is slow unless you have an Ethernet plugged in... WHO CONNECTS BY WIRE TO THE INTERNET IN THE AGE OF TABLETS AND SMARTPHONE?! Ugh! 😡 #penalised

@virginmedia I have an issue with Bluetooth headphones interfering with WiFi signal. Two pairs of headphones, same result. Is there anything I can do to the router to stop this from happening? It's better when I switch off the 2.4GHz band.

@virginmedia awful customer service! Repeated rescheduled installation visits. Was meant to be tomorrow after a month of waiting and was told today it won’t be going ahead and it’ll be another month! Still waiting for a manager to phone me back. I will be going elsewhere

@virginmedia @itsmeAlexVega In contract and Virgin won’t release me even though they’re not fulfilling their side of contract to provide me with a service. DO NOT USE @virginmedia they obviously have a serious issue they’re unable to rectify

(@PterodacDale) reported
@virginmedia back again. Finally had an engineer come to install new box. No actual install done as I didn’t really want it in the first place but took the box and told I can just connect via WiFi for on demand and Netflix etc. That’s not working. Rang to try and sort… 1/

@virginmedia But your team is unreachable. I have been trying every day. Do you expect us to spend our work days waiting for 3-4 hours just to speak to customer care?

Day 7 no broadband: lunchtime, package from @virginmedia hurrah. Open package; wrong power supply 🤬 Each time you ring the help line you have to go through all the options wait 10 mins for router to restart unsuccessfully before being able to talk to someone - useless setup!

@virginmedia Yeah I have used this numerous times and there is never a problem… but only a TV problem in the area which there isn’t..

@virginmedia Does this mean some technician was given feedback? I stressed in my conversation that the complaint was NOT about VM staff but about poor signal, strength and overall service. I am often without reliable services for days at a time and have received a penny in compensation

@virginmedia This ISNT acceptable. I’ve been having these issues since I “upgraded” to 360. It just doesn’t work and my complaint has been ignored
