@virginmedia Even more reason to cancel, typical corporate strategy why offer people something cheaper in today’s economic climate when you can continue to rip them off

@Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

@virginmedia Mainly because you’re now too expensive, called retention team and was offered a derisory £4 discount. Enquired about new streaming service, agent knew nothing about it

@virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

@virginmedia @virginmedia issue was resolved in 1 minute after agent returning from break, surely could have waited 1 more minute before taking his break!!! If the agent is due a break maybe tell the customer this before starting the conversation!!!

@virginmedia This is a genuine question, what is the actual point of your Twitter account if you can’t actually do anything? Again, this is a genuine question and I’m not trying to be rude, I am curious.

@virginmedia I phoned up but kept on getting transferred. I've replied to my THIRD complaint case last week, but no answer yet. An engineer came and said "everything that can be replaced has been replaced" so I think we need to have a no-fault cancellation, no?

@virginmedia 5 weeks and counting. 3 engineer visits. Another 30mins wasted to your call centre today. Still no phone line. Worst service! And you still advise me to keep calling?

Hi @virginmedia - it's now 5 weeks of intermittent broadband, and I've reached the limit of following your online help (rebooting, hard resetting, removing devices, etc). Can you please supply a method of speaking to a real person because I can't find that anywhere online.

@virginmedia what is going on with the internet on The Wirral? Is there an ongoing issue? Tried multiple resets and followed online instructions and it keeps disconnecting. Is this your end or ours? Thanks.

Apparently @virginmedia are doing service improvements - did you not think to inform customers of this ahead of time?
