    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

    Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • TheBadgerG
    Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • mattrose18
    Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

    @virginmedia We pay way too much for a really bad service. Super frustrating . @virginmedia

    TB (@Peerabeee) reported

    @virginmedia I am paying for a service you cannot deliver. Multiple failed engineer visits (Dec 24, Jan 22) and internet is still broken. you demand an illegal cancellation fee? I have raised a formal complaint: C-010626172 (Yeliz Guven Bilgin). Sort this out under Ofcom rules.

  • Wmb1877

    @Just_Katie_x @virginmedia Had a similar problem with them years when cancelling due to moving house. Absolutely useless would never use them again.

    Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported

    10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia They should pay you automatic compensation thru the Ofcom scheme, it is about £6 a day. If they do not agree to pay it, then take them to an Ombudsman service.

    @virginmedia our internet is down as is our neighbours. Online it says issue with our hub but followed all instructions and still says issue. Online says no outages but both ours and neighbours are down. They have engineer booked for tomorrow but I need internet now

    @jen_moxon Their Customer Service, the word ‘service’ doing a lot heavy lifting here, is the worse. They randomly cancelled my DD without notice then bill me for late payment… @virginmedia Nice broadband, sh*t service, will go back to BT at renewal time.
