Sunderland Bridge, England
@virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

@virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

@virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

@virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

@virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

@virginmedia Good morning, When we rang to take your TV service (already have phone and broadband) we arranged on 28/11 and confirmed the date 11/12. We then rang again on Wednesday 9/12 to check installation date and the agent confirmed 11/12. Really angry as my wife took leave from work.

@virginmedia I Have been a customer for a number of years. We nearly went with @skytv 2 weeks ago, I think I will probably now will.

@virginmedia @CMSENSZE Haha, and mid February is as quick as you can fix things? How pathetic, ESPECIALLY now when so many people at working from home. If I were your customer I’d leave within contract, you’re clearly not meeting your end of the contract so good luck pursuing me for the amounts left.

@virginmedia No internet service in TW9 since yesterday lunchtime. Your website says "no known issues" but 151 says engineers are working on a "really complicated" problem, without giving any timeline. When will we have internet again?

Liza Rees

@virginmedia Our broadband installation has been pushed back by over 2 weeks. I’m due to host a virtual company wide event so need internet. Customer services have been awful! I am told different information & lied to daily. I need to speak to someone urgently! @MoneyTelegraph

@virginmedia absolute shocking service. I’ve been trying to contact yourselves for the last 3 days and I’ve been waiting an hour each time. 100% leaving now, I’ll just probably cancel my direct debit with you if this continues.

@virginmedia No...but even if they give explanation it wouldn't help me. I can't be without internet for the next 3 months. I have to find another service provider. @virginmedia I need my contract terminated without penalty. I should rather get refund as your service has been beyond worse.

@virginmedia We’ve got that number and already called and have taken all recommended actions which we’d already tried anyway and are just going round in circles- you need to send an engineer out surely? What sort of service is this?
