    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia According to virgin, any more than 8 devices (including lightbulbs) and they won’t look in to issues and they would expect it to drop all devices randomly

  • TamzLALee Tamzin L A Lee (@TamzLALee) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia spent over an hour on the phone now and have been cut off twice when I should of been transferred. I don’t actually know how you are still a running company, I have never had to deal with anyone more useless before

  • Connor_HC18 Connor mellish (@Connor_HC18) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @vmbusinesshelp I am having problems with the virgin media business router that gets up to 350mbps. Keeps dropping out. Not a speed problem it’s the stability of it.

  • stevejbeck Steve Beck (@stevejbeck) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Oh no! @virginmedia broadband is slow in our area at the moment (BH6). It’s supposed to be 100Mbps but it’s currently 29Mbps. I think there’s maintenance happening on our road right now but can’t see cos it’s behind a tree. Ah well. Looks like I’m gonna have to do some housework!

  • CarlJTaylor23 Carl Taylor (@CarlJTaylor23) reported from St. Leonards and St. Ives, England

    @virginmedia - twice I have been cut off when calling you this morning. Third time referred to complete a form on your website. Form doesn’t exist and wants me to hold for 45 mins for Live Chat! Not a great service!

  • goddard95 Emma Goddard (@goddard95) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Nope, dreadful. That’s not customer service, that’s off loading to a computer. Not helpful for a 87 year old.

  • CarlJTaylor23 Carl Taylor (@CarlJTaylor23) reported from St. Leonards and St. Ives, England

    @virginmedia 2 hours and counting to try and cancel my contracts with you. What terrible service!

  • DarkchatCarl Carl Baldwin (@DarkchatCarl) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia can someone please help regarding package changes that aren't what we agreed? 2 hour chat on Thurs agreed new price with customer svce. Confirmation received shows more expensive price. Easy way to fix? Don't want to try cust svc again, I don't have 2 hours!

  • goddard95 Emma Goddard (@goddard95) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Hey Virgin Media, the connection in Christchurch Dorset is unbelievably slow & customer service dreadful, all for £75 a month!!

  • IAMBiSH1 Scott Bishop (@IAMBiSH1) reported from Poole, England

    @Sir_Alan_ @virginmedia Oh mate that sucks!! Fingers crossed that it’s not to disruptive!

  • LonerganChris Chris Lonergan (@LonerganChris) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia The problem is guys it’s gets through they always say it’s the wrong team transfer me to where ever the call centre is and then it doesn’t connect hence another hour wasted. For something that should be super easy if you just integrated this into the online

  • CarlJTaylor23 Carl Taylor (@CarlJTaylor23) reported from St. Leonards and St. Ives, England

    @virginmedia - 3 times I got cut off on the phone trying to tell you I need to cancel, now been moving to 3 different ‘live chat’ people and still not sorted. Even if you do cover my new house in the future I will not come back.

  • TirEoghain59 Bourneirish (@TirEoghain59) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Promised management call back which never happened, half hour waits then advised to do online complaint.... 😑Then to be told online complaint system doesn't work. Such poor customer service throughout

  • TamzLALee Tamzin L A Lee (@TamzLALee) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia this is an absolute joke now, I do not have time to just sit on hold all day. You clearly make it impossible for people to cancel their contracts on purpose

  • TamzLALee Tamzin L A Lee (@TamzLALee) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia can you please explain why it is impossible to cancel a contract with you. Can get through for anything else but when you want to cancel you are put on hold for hours

  • channell_lisa Lisa Channell (@channell_lisa) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @Rebeccaswain10 @virginmedia Is it really that bad? X

  • Connor_HC18 Connor mellish (@Connor_HC18) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia I am having problems with the virgin media business router that gets up to 350mbps. Keeps dropping out. Not a speed problem it’s the stability of it.

  • TaiDragon TaiDragon #LockdownHairyBeast (@TaiDragon) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia It looks like the virgin services are not synced. The phone app says there are problems, you click on service and it says there are no issues, you call the service line and it tells you No issues, (it hangs up on you - bad CE) then you speak to someone and there is an issue...

  • ScarlettShaw Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ok on LAN. 2.4Ghz band has always been awful around here, never goes over 100mbps. 5Ghz band was always a solid 200-210mbps until last year. Since then it’s been extremely unreliable despite channel changes. I do have a V3 though, which is the worst router you’ve made.

  • WMRobson1492 Will (@WMRobson1492) reported

    @virginmedia So I called back again. Spoke to one of your colleagues who said she would get this sorted and would apply a credit to my bill to cover some charges that weren’t explained at the time of charging my contact due to the issues of applying the correct issue. 3/

  • therealpaulwag Paul wagstaff (@therealpaulwag) reported

    @virginmedia I was meant to have an installation yesterday between 1pm and 6pm. The engineer never turned up. I then spoke to some one on a chat and the said some one would be with me today between 9am and 1pm no one showed up.

  • WMRobson1492 Will (@WMRobson1492) reported

    @virginmedia So this months bill also shows part payment charges which is confusing considering the credits should have covered this! Then the rolling credit of £10 is also missing from this months bill. The complaint was raised online via the complaint form on the 7th of Jan. 7/

  • Katieisaowl Katie 🇪🇺 (@Katieisaowl) reported

    @jomcallister1 @virginmedia Shocking really... hiking the price up and they aren’t even providing the full service promised?

  • niftyspringett 𝙿𝚊𝚞𝚕 𝙾𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@niftyspringett) reported

    @virginmedia And that's on top of the 2 weeks it's already been since I placed the order. After several years with sky, I've ready spent far longer on the phone, experienced several very poorly trained call center workers and had far more problems with virgin media and I'm not even connected.

  • WMRobson1492 Will (@WMRobson1492) reported

    @virginmedia Turns out they were just changing my direct debit and not actually adding any credits. So every bill after December were showing part payment issues and subsequent part payment charges, how can I pay pay when I pay via direct debit. So my bills were easing every month. 5/

  • Zachclose2000 zach close (@Zachclose2000) reported

    @virginmedia Why should I keep you posted your company just really crap

  • Climbingdude Philip Lawrence (@Climbingdude) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, we will do ours when we can. Is a shame you're not using a collection courier or one with more collection points, poor planning by your service team. Have just tried the text number, is just a bot and not that useful.

  • matthewdhill98 Matt hill (@matthewdhill98) reported

    @virginmedia awful WiFi again today I got an email around 3 days ago about how it’s update and it’s new and better it’s been nothing but **** since then!
