@virginmedia Hi was supposed to be yesterday between 12-4 but got a text on Friday night saying issue has been solved. So they did not come out even though they didn't say they were not coming and I waited in for them. I think I have a faulty hub tbh

@virginmedia it’s 2019, your online customer service is so poor and your offline telephone service saw me waiting 15 mins and still in a queue! Given up.

@virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

@virginmedia this company is an absolute joke. This is like 6 engineers numerous phone calls’ complaints. Can’t get them to call us back. Paying for service that doesn’t work!

@virginmedia You could at least have an option to call back customers rather than keeping them on hold. Again, this is really poor customer service.

@virginmedia Internet gone again. Second time today. Bottom light goes white and starts flashing, then green and flashing. Then the arrows light up green and flash. I can’t get 24 hours out of this service. This isn’t what I pay for and it’s terrible service.

Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

@Sparkle_71 @dhrutishah @virginmedia If their internet doesn't work, they can't use the Virgin media phone; and today's outage has affected also the emergency lines given to vulnerable customers. So the only way to call Virgin Media is to use non-Virgin Media phones.

@virginmedia You should have been aware many hours ago when your customers were. Are you hiking prices next month to pay for new yachts for fat cat CEOs rather than a better service to the public? Prices high enough already.

Just a number
(@BTCrypto1) reported
@virginmedia I really understand that sometimes issues can happen but what about when we have to negotiate our bills all the time, or every time our contract expires... if the culture is not changed I'm done with you, paying over £100 a month is not worth the stress

@virginmedia Were you waiting for the press to start reporting on the outage before communicating to your customers? Or waiting for it to be fixed? The outage didn’t disappoint me, the total silence from the company did.

@virginmedia We’ve had poor service since November 2022 ! Engineer out last week confirms we have had multiple drop outs even one day with no service at all . System says you will get auto compensation no need to log . But yet no compensation just an increase in monthly bill #timetomove

@dhrutishah @virginmedia If its a backup unit (BBU) your parents have had installed, they are only able to call emergency services from it if their broadband has gone down. They are fitted with a sim card incase of a situation such as this one.

@SenseMakesNone @virginmedia a telecoms company like VM would have maintenance work and network work going on overnight rather than daytime. There also would or should have been a priorty 1 escalation of this issue happening regardless of time of day. The would have known about it around 2am at least

@virginmedia Pretty embarrasing lack of communication and service literally the day before you bump up everyone's prices. You have a monopoly in my area or I would be gone in a heartbeat.

@virginmedia I'm having to hotspot my personal phone to work. I doubt you will compensate me for my personal data loss. Having your service pages down is unforgivable too
