If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

@virginmedia I would like to leave. Charges have increased and service is woefully inadequate compared to cost. Web site says to ring. I have rung several times - put on hold for almost an hour, then I get cut off. Every time.

@virginmedia wish to discuss cancelling my account due to poor service for the amount paid, certainly not willing to pay even more. After an hour no one responded to live chat yesterday and I've been on hold for over 30 mins today, for £54.50 per month I expect much better

@virginmedia I have sent text messages to the number you provided on here, and I last spoke to several customer representatives on 26th January, then asked to speak to a manager, was put on hold for 50 minutes, then you cut me off/the line went dead. So, nothing has been resolved.

@virginmedia Not recently. The only offer I have been given is pay more £ for more MBs. Problem is we are already paying a lot and we only average about 80% of the expected download speed anyway.
