@virginmedia been on hold for 50 minutes waiting to renew to a lesser deal than a new customer can get, online, with the click of a button! Think your customer service needs some Oomph!

@15minutegamer @virginmedia These go from when it's actually due and not from when it was paid which in my opinion is stupid. Yet I just get this message to say that and I've not even had an ebill.

@virginmedia fed up with slow cable broadband since lockdown. The money I pay you is not worth it for the bad service! You should be refunding my charges #Disgraceful #notreliable

@virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

@virginmedia your website will not let me into your account to do a speed test (our broad band is getting slower and slower). It won’t let me reset the password and instead gets stuck in a loop resetting the reset password- absolutely infuriating. Had this problem four years now!

@virginmedia Absolute joke! After telling them it's not a virgin mobile they said that chat was for faults only and to ring the same premium rate number to speak to someone. Your customer service really is laughable

@virginmedia You'e been closing tickets each day at 6pm for the last 2 months and hoping we'd all go away. Service status says there is no issue when the upload speed is less than 1mb (paying for 10mb) #losingmyvirginit @Ofcom I'm not the only 1 having issues, KT6 and KT7 areas are too!

@virginmedia It’s back on now. Had same problem as January, Hub working ok but no internet from outside. Honestly, I went through all through all the troubleshooting steps at least 6 times. It was no help and never got me to the point of being able to report it, just looped back on itself.

@virginmedia Hello NL, thanks for the tweet. Unfortunately I still have absolutely no internet. My neighbours in the flat below have internet so I think it maybe with a problem with the wiring outside the flat as it looks damaged.

@virginmedia Nothing currently, and running a test shows nothing as it is working at present. But there clearly is an issue as I keep having to restart. The arrow on the Hub goes green, and is only fixed by turning on and off. Which works for a few hours till it does it again.
