@virginmedia I would happily self serve online, via a browser or app, as you incessantly encourage me to do, but when the page says “oops something went wrong, we’re unable to change your package online”, its very frustrating. @O2 will help you soon!

@chloemphoto @virginmedia If it connects to other WiFi networks from the same source ie @virginmedia then the problem is within your router itself and not any device connected to it. Your router is faulty and needs replacing. You said yourself that the router is faulty and goes offline if even moved.

@virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

@virginmedia Need to cancel my new order. It wasn’t done correctly and given the total lack of being able to contact you I have lost confidence in VM. Cannot contact anyone to cancel though, what a nightmare. Just taking too much of my time to make switching worthwhile. #painful

@virginmedia An email was received that the first complaint had been resolved and closed. I was expecting a phone call from the supervisor and a resolution. The second was regarding the 1st complaint on why it was closed without discussion. So no wasn’t a duplicate complaint.

@virginmedia business customer service is the *worst*. I would crawl naked over broken glass just to get to a self-service web interface. Please, please, please don't make me speak to another customer service rep 😭

@virginmedia So gave my notice to terminate 2 weeks ago and you STILL haven't been in touch. You really don't like to communicate at Virgin do you !?

@virginmedia No it doesn't, it just says that we've identified that there's an issue in your area and it will be fixed by 8:25pm. I'm now trying to log into your app it says I have an acc but when I try to reset the password it says the acc doesn't exist. How do you work that one out?

(@Scotteboy75) reported
So is it common for @virginmedia to let new customers down by not having the external pre install work carried out prior to the main install day. Shocking service for a provider trying to make their mark in to a new area which is currently dominated by @SkyUK

@virginmedia That sounds like that's not my problem. After being patronised and insulted, and your business decision not to let us self serve our service cancellations.
