    @MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to **** and resolve a home telephone. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still wait to speak to someone!

    @virginmedia So after having pissed around since mid December refusing to send me a new router due to intermittent WiFi issues with some devices losing connection. Today it has been on and off over a dozen times. Now no connection at all, no Internet and no phone service 😡

  • SammyKnowlesX
    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • cadeharry

    @virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

  • Nicole_Baker
    Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.

    frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    @virginmedia can you help me verify my account - not receiving any emails…

  • pkitch1
    paul kitchen (@pkitch1) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia @JTCHANGINGBIZ Whilst they provide a marginally better speeds than competitors their customer service is just non existent, until you say you're leaving..

  • Nicole_Baker
    Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Understood. As I said I will wait for what was promised and continue to highlight where virgin media fail to keep promises.

  • Nicole_Baker

    @virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis

    @virginmedia My iron tripped out. We got everything up and running again, but no internet, no landline, no fire to, no sound bar.we rang you for help. You said you would send an engineer at around 7pm this evening. This is very poor service.

    Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported

    @virginmedia - you customer service app is faulty, my TV Box is faulty how can I leave and end this poor service? Can @skytv or @EE help Me leave and get a better service?

  • Scottbraduk
    Scotty B. 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@Scottbraduk) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a disgrace I have been trying to get a refund from my account for near 2 months now and it still has not been sent. 9 phone calls an email from a manager to guarantee it would be sent back and 7 chats all recorded. Think is a complaint to ofcom now !!

  • michaelad1997
    michaela👑💋 (@michaelad1997) reported

    Someone give us a good WiFi provider. Currently with @Hyperoptic that is shocking, TV loads every 2 minutes. Also been with @virginmedia and NEVER again, shocking connection. So yeah an actual decent recommendation would be nice

  • ncfcandywright
    Andy Wright (@ncfcandywright) reported

    @virginmedia why does my online account have a button telling me to look at my renewal offers but when I click on it I get 'customer exclusion' in the address bar and get told to call? 70ish days until my contract ends

  • JamesLadbroke
    James Ladbroke (@JamesLadbroke) reported

    @europa I had @virginmedia once. The worst service I have ever had. Cancel. @VirginMediaIE

    @andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.

  • bull_robin56713
    🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.

  • Marcus_Campana
    m (@Marcus_Campana) reported

    @virginmedia when I contacted u earlier in the year I was told the upgrade to the 360 box doesn't mean a new contract, but yet after months of you harassing me I've upgraded box and low and behold you've sent me a new contract until 2028 , not happy how do I cancel???
