  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • KBombroffe 🖤⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️▶️🖤 (@KBombroffe) reported

    @virginmedia I would prefer not to have this conversation over twitter. It is a slow and tedious repeat of the conversations we have already had. We know that the TiVo box does not work. What we would like is for it to either be fixed or a new one sent.

  • UKLionheartSV Chris (@UKLionheartSV) reported

    Regret getting @virginmedia internet! Goes down so many times. Can’t wait to be out of contract to cancel it.

  • jack7232 jackwillistv (@jack7232) reported

    @virginmedia just want to say your customer service from Mohammed this evening was so poor this evening. I was phone up to ask about bill credit didn’t have a clue what I was talking about and try to transfer me through to a team that wasn’t there. 1 of 2

  • barbjungr Barb Jungr (@barbjungr) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I am happy to. I spoke at length in November to customer service and they had promised to reduce a bill accordingly. Never happened. I need an engineer to deal with issues. Can’t access one. Can’t get through to anyone. Need help with signal fluctuation. Need better hub.

  • KBsully1 SullyMLG (@KBsully1) reported

    @sinklaer @virginmedia Nah, just really slow. You got any ides on how to fix it? Really annoying trying to play on Paxterya (a mc server) but i cant because of the stupid internet.

  • Mr_Saurabh_Rana Saurabh Rana (@Mr_Saurabh_Rana) reported

    @virginmedia Shall I put down the hope for call from Virgin now? #stillwaiting #virginmediadown

  • gishank Lawrence (@gishank) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely abysmal customer service. Treat their long-term customers absolutely appallingly. Still waiting over 5 weeks for someone to actually talk to me regarding me complaint.

  • boreham_gary Gizz (@boreham_gary) reported

    @virginmedia awful company with awful broadband.

  • Danjsalt Dan Salt (@Danjsalt) reported

    @virginmedia is literally the worst company I've ever dealt with for client service

  • TazAles Chris Tazewell (@TazAles) reported

    @LukeHarby @virginmedia Yes. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz work over a range of channels. 2.4 is a narrow range so can be very congested. Most of your neighbours will have theirs set on channel 6 so you may be able to change yours to a less congested channel. Your 5GHz network is probably ok
