@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 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…

@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 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 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 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 Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

@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 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 The problem is with Virgin Media - you carried out work 2 days ago in Falkirk and the internet and Tv were off for hours - Today, without scheduled work, it's been down again for hours - this isn't a reliable service.

@virginmedia Finally after 25 minutes, complaint raised and closed and passed to someone who finally gave me the information required. Information that should've been sent via email or postal mail. You seriously need a designated customer service contact number like Sky, BT, Plusnet, EE

@virginmedia Received the adapter and finally have a working phone line. Shame it took 3 weeks to get to the bottom of the issue. Disappointed that I was told porting number was able to be done by several staff and that they submitted a form to request it, but at least phone is working now

@virginmedia Whole service a shambles! No investment in your networks! I’ll try again but the bot takes you in circles! Some would say deliberately! Virgin media should be ashamed of how they treat their customers and the woeful services provided or not as the case maybe!
