@virginmedia I'm moving home at the weekend so engineer's came out to the new property today to connect the outside cables to the house. They were unable to as the neighbours are using that cable. Hope you can help.

@virginmedia I was transferred numerous times. Then finally told that the person who set up the house transfer, has messed it up and somehow cancelled my access. With no solution on how to fix it

@virginmedia Having to pay an early disconnection fee because you don't run services there is brilliant customer service 😂

@virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

@virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

Can't take Virgin Media to my new address because the estate is too new and they don't have Virgin Media in those streets yet. First world problems 😂

@virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.

@virginmedia would it be too much trouble for someone to fix my landline issue, I can't receive incoming calls, yet your call centre agents tell me there going to ring me back on my home line and then cut me off!!! Can't ring me back if I can't receive incoming calls!!!!!

@virginmedia I have had: -An upgrade -An engineer come and change the box outside my house -A brand new hub -New power line adapters -My connection tested on your end numerous times And yet the connection, 99 times out of 100, feels like total shit whenever I use anything intensive.

@virginmedia @johnmclaren1972 All I’m seeing are apologies but still no resolution to fixing issues, providing a decent service or looking after existing customers. I’ll be changing to sky next month.

@virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.

@virginmedia Could you tell me what department I need to speak to about set up issues after a house move, and what time they close please

@virginmedia I was advised that I need to speak to a different department, by what feels like every department in Virgin Media! Whoever dealt with the house to house transfer has made an error.. and has somehow cancelled my service. But no department is taking responsibility to fix

@virginmedia I've been going through your support cycles for 3 days now trying to cancel my account. There's literally nothing you can do to keep me as a customer after these cycles. Burn it to the ground and start again.

(@CallumStoner) reported
@virginmedia Update, no call after 24 hours so I called 150 again for help. A lovely lady ran several tests, was very patient with my lack of knowledge, did some fiddling and told me to turn it off and on again. I did say I’d turned it off and on several times but she gave me a cast 1/2

@virginmedia Hi, yes have tried that, did it a week or so ago. We have had issues with speed before so not sure if the router is now on its way out?

(@DonnaBrannan12) reported
@virginmedia In other words all this rubbish on here is lip service, you can't actually do anything to help other than post links to the website, which is also not helpful. The staff aren't even trained when you finally get to speak to someone, they're rude and don't have the first clue

@La_Fee_Verte__ I used one for a while with my daughter to no bad effect. The worst we had was when we had a tandem and were forced into the side of parked cars by a Virgin Media van overtaking us at speed on a narrow road. 🤷🏻
