@virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

@virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

@virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

Hi @virginmedia - just FYI, you’re telling me I still owe you money in late fees. Because the payment problem was at your end, I’m not going to pay these fees. Can you take them off my account please? Thanks!

@virginmedia Hi can someone get in contact with me. Been trying for days now and also been told I'll be phoned back within 24-48hrs and still waiting. I've been a customer for over 10 years. #NOTHAPPY

(@hawkes1947) reported
@virginmedia I asked that the same tech come and sort his mess out but have been told because instead of deactivating a box that was broke it looks like he deactivated the wrong box(I have 2) so it now has to be dealt with by techs your end,I’ve sent a complaint to the ceo
-

(@Geoffb85) reported
@virginmedia Suggests cable connection problem but that would not affect all boxes which are independent of each other’s connections

@virginmedia Your customer service is dreadful. On phone, by WhatsApp, online chat. Slow, and never able to solve any problem. I've been going round in circles for a month and empty promises don't help because I have no faith in your company's ability to do anything quickly or correctly.

@virginmedia Is this a joke?? My complaint is now closed and you have said that 'we have agreed' that the resolution is 'Agent or Technician Professionalism - Internal feedback provided' 1. We did not agree this 2. Staff feedback does nothing for me How do I get taken seriously here?

What's going on
(@integritybereal) reported
@virginmedia Systems is Still not working, Service Checker is now saying 8pm 27/6. Please can we have some honest explanation, this has been a over 5 days now with no broadband service due to your outage #smarthomefailure #workfromhome

@virginmedia after 27 years of being a customer I’d expect better from you. New customers £39.99 for what I am charged £92.75. Phone up and offered a discount to £68.00 but I need to accept now for an 18months contract. Tomorrow that offer may be unavailable 🤯 time to leave. 👋

@_ollsy @ScottishPower @virginmedia You can tell their customer service is utterly useless by the fact their agents end online or WhatsApp chats by thanking you for not losing your temper.
