@virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

Really not at all impressed with @virginmedia I’m not a customer, but called them this morning about someone using my identity for one of their accounts. Said they’d put me through, but just been cut off after 41 minutes on hold. Do they take ID fraud seriously?

@virginmedia Just so you know, I’m still waiting. You don’t appear to take potential ID fraud very seriously at all. Terrible service from @virginmedia I’m not a customer, but after this I’m unlikely to ever be. #IDfraud

@virginmedia No these error has been for weeks, they bought a new TV today because they thought that was the problem it isn't and we can't speak to a human being.

@SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

@ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia Absolutely incompetent. Takes an hour to speak to someone, they then tell you you’re through to the wrong dept and pass you back in the queue. Took me 2 months to sort my internet out recently. Awful service.

@virginmedia seen on your website you offer a free WiFi booster for 1Gig fibre customers. How do I get one? The WiFi sucks in some rooms

@virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

@AidyDews @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia That’s exactly what happened to me. Upgraded to 500mg and the speed/coverage got worse. They ended up giving me 1 Gig for the price of 500mg & a hub4 because they couldn’t fix it. Took me about 10 hours & years off my life to sort out. Nightmare.

@virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

Not just me then? Twitter tells me everything I need to know @virginmedia your broadband is unreliable, has been unreliable for weeks & I feel like i’m wasting money. No this isn’t an isolated issue you just need to pull your finger out & stop ruining my evenings its 2020 ffs!

Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

@virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

@virginmedia they advised that as I did not have a complete loss of service then no compensation due. When I first complained about the poor service I was within the period in which I could cancel my contract. Now I’m paying £48 a month when I’ve received the worst service for 2 months.

@virginmedia I’ve done that 4 times and received nothing. I don’t believe you are actually sending them out. Can you send one tracked down you actually have proof?

@virginmedia according to my postcode, there are "no known issues" which has to be a lie

@virginmedia If @virginmedia can't keep status page up then shld share outage info automatically on Twitter or similar. Use someone else's infrastructure to share outage information early and often. Half my homeworking team are VM broadband users. Knowing details earlier would help us plan.
