@emmah1188 @virginmedia Completely incompetent. Customer service is unacceptable. Unable to give a ‘goodwill gesture’ as we’re not account holders despite having an account number, set up a direct debit and signing a contract.

@virginmedia Both wired and not, advised to turn off and back on, diagnostics checked at your end, engineer visit, resulted in all new v6 boxes (x2) and a new internet hub also internal wiring checked and re-connected. Issue seemed to be resolved for a while but after then goes off altogether

@virginmedia It’s been going on for months, I have had all new boxes and hub but it still goes down. I have been told to keep my local engineer up to date. There is nothing the help desk can do we have tried everything

@virginmedia I tried texting that number and got no answer. I just tried calling the helpline, was on hold for about 20 minutes, was asked for all my contact details and then your operator told me her system is down and I should call back in 2 hours!!

@virginmedia No, I didn’t get any estimates. Just a generic “we’re sorry you’re still having issues, our engineers are currently working on it but it’s taking longer than expected” (something along those lines at least).

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that. But after signing up to SMS updates four times via two methods, I’d expect to at least be receiving texts telling me that the fix times have been pushed back.

It is beginning to look like @virginmedia have fraudulently sold us a package that was not available to me due to the many reasons that your various customer service team members mentioned before they hung up by putting me on “hold” and made me ring back...

As my @virginmedia bill is now creeping up towads 130pcm I called to cancel or negotiate. A small discount was offered. I was surprised how little effort was made to retain a customer. (‘OK, thank you for calling’). So I’ll have to switch.

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that issues happen, but it would be nice to know more than just “we’re currently having issues”. If someone told me “a bolt of lightning from that thunderstorm you had hit the cabinet and fried it” or something, we’d probably be a lot more understanding.

@virginmedia Our internet has been down completely since early this morning (not intermittently like the automated message is suggesting) and I still don’t know if it’s a problem in the area, or just our own property.

@virginmedia new broadband routers now working, speeds dropped massively when I can get internet, tried for 14 minutes to get through to your customer service (being charged thanks for that) and can’t get access to my account as your team registered my email address wrong. Help!
-
Rhys Morgan
(@rhysmorgan) reported
from
Cardiff, Wales
@virginmedia Keep having problems where, every few days or so, the booster loses connectivity with the base unit, resulting in it outputting no internet connection. On top of that, the speeds are less than half that of the main router (350 - 500 Mbps on our Hub vs 150 Mbps from booster)

@virginmedia No, just told that wifi isn't important. Been with Virgin for a long time and it is only in the past 6-7 months it has been this bad. We have nothing new connected to it. My husband keeps wanting to cancel our contract but I know Virgin are the best for Broadband. Just frustrated

(@lucylovesmetal) reported
@virginmedia Hiya, I've still had no response / resolution and internet has now fallen over again. Upload speed was just 1.60mbps. This is very frustrating given that we have no other choice but to work (or not in this case) from home. Can this be escalated? It started last weds
-
Derek Adams
(@derekadams88) reported
@virginmedia Yes, indicated everything is OK. As I said, it's sporadic during working hours. I've also tried restarting the hub (which solved the problem for a short period of time). This all started at the beginning of January, had been working fine up till then for a year.

.@virginmedia 25 minutes on hold to get a recorded message offering me a discount smaller than your price increase so my package would cost more. Utterly crap service
