    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.

    @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

    Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

    Daniel Goble (@danielgoble) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia The whole point is to just get you locked into another deal. You threaten to switch and then they lower it and hope you fall for it...all while they try to upsell **** TV packages that nobody wants.

  • OwlyMcHoot
    Owly McHoot (@OwlyMcHoot) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.

    mrpinkcat (@Misterpinkcat) reported

    @virginmedia @GlitteringAngel Katie shouldn't have to send you a DM, just treat loyalty with some respect and give people discounts the longer they stay with you instead of giving newbies better deals than long standing customers

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Eventually got through via chat to a real person. They advised a factory reset of hub which is a complete pain to set back up and it made no difference. Engineer arranged to come today. I also raised a formal complaint. Mysteriously it’s working two hours later.

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia any idea why it has to be so difficult to actually speak to anyone? Both TV boxes no longer work right, received an email saying a new box was coming but only got a remote for a box I don't even have! Can anyone help??

  • Neek49
    Monique Bissell (@Neek49) reported

    @entrustTMF @status_is_down @virginmedia Ours has been over a week, and they have just extended their estimated fix time to the 27th. That’s another 5 days, during a tube strike and I can’t work from home.

  • kingoftheshed
    Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported

    @virginmedia What? On and off for the past 8 days? It just went down again 5 minutes ago. Fix it and compensate me let me leave.

  • iPaulTweeting
    iPaulTweeting (@iPaulTweeting) reported

    Here’s an idea @virginmedia if the question your bots are asking have no relevance to the question you asked perhaps one of the options presented could be ‘talk to a human’? Also, although I’m not really that bothered that your support staff are not English please note that it does not aid understanding

  • mantonl
    Lee Manton (Λη Μαντον) (@mantonl) reported

    @tina0402x @SkyUK VirginMedia are good when you’re a new customer, I’ve been with them since they took over NTL but once your contract is up, that’s when it turns into a nightmare. They don’t give a toss about existing customers. Every renewal is a fight & their offshore teams are useless.
