@virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

@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!!!😥

Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

@virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

@virginmedia I look forward to receiving your offer regarding the complaints that I already made and have still not received a response. I suppose you could consider this a further complaint that your complaints process is inadequate.

@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 Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

@cyclingbetting @virginmedia Had a similar issue before Christmas. One of their engineers came out, changed router cable and some settings on router. Works champion now

@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

Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

@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 I had to wait a long time and they couldn’t resolve it. So now I need to wait a week for a replacement box while still paying for a service I can’t use. Not a great start to my time with Virginmedia.

Anthony Murphy
(@anthony_murphy1) reported
@virginmedia Not yet. It has to be manually done by management so I shall give you some time to figure out what you are doing and see where we stand. But the next time won't be complaint, it'll be cancellation whatever the cost.

@virginmedia On where? It says there are no known issues. The only thing that needs fixed is my internet. It’s off again

(@Tedheathen1875) reported
@virginmedia No sport for thee whole weekend. Got a great bloke on 151 yesterday at 11am. He could see I was again overcharged, but couldn't fix, so engineer coming out. Liverpool fan, but he was excellent. The 5 1/2 of previous calls wasted. No sport for a 4 day weekend

@virginmedia We were meant to get one Friday as a result of the complaint from being disconnected too early. Never got that. All you can do is apologise, but you can’t provide us broadband which in the middle of a pandemic is a basic service!

@YouKnowEh @virginmedia I'm out of contract with VM and have tried for over a year to get a returns bag for unwanted kit. Several official complaints and a written one to head office only resulted in 'we tried to contact you without success so have closed the complaint'. Out of contract = No VM number!

@virginmedia @barneyronay Can you tell me why your resolution team ignore a customers email ? I called your retention team on the 19th March to cancel my contract. The advisor didn’t cancel it. He renewed it. I put a complaint in, they replied and have now ignored 7 more emails from me

@virginmedia You can’t seem to do it from here or on the phone, you’ve took our bank details, sent the equipment and not provided the service. We will return the equipment and cancel the direct debit. Will just wait for for BT who have been superior with CS. Very stressful @virginmedia

@virginmedia No one has contacted us - we just want reliable Wi-Fi at home and to be compensated for having to keep using our 4G - essentially we are paying for a service we are not getting!
