Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

@virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

@virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

@virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

@virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

@virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

@virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

@virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia But I'm sure you can explain why I was mis-sold a package which was never going to be honoured?

David McClelland
(@DavidMcClelland) reported
@Mike__Polak @BBCOne Virgin Media also has to migrate its customers from PSTN to digital voice (ie VoIP); in the event of a power cut the Virgin customer’s router would lose power, so yes, in same boat. Virgin does also have provision for battery backed-up emergency calls via cellular network.

@virginmedia I expected sound knowledge from you. I didn't expect to have to scour a forum searching for help from users. I thought you'd be the tech experts. Your 'solution' was no better than "Did you try switching it off and then back on again". It just took more time...

@virginmedia how do you get through to speak to someone? My contract is ending and it’s gone up to a ridiculous amount per month, no one picks up the phone at customer services! I will just cancel the direct debit someone will contact me then.

@virginmedia I have no faith you will - 12 months been paying premium for poor internet - now 3rd day in attempting to cancel my contract via whatsapp but your staff offer me a new package and then disconnect even tho i explicitly ask for the ending of my contract. Not even half of the story.

@virginmedia Started the WhatsApp channel and guess what, no one responds. Perhaps you should warn customers that it takes hours, days possibly weeks to cancel their contract.. #broadband #dreadfulservice #virgin
