    @virginmedia Well do you not think if I'm only getting a service for 80% of the time, I should only be paying 80% of the bill?

    @virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

    @virginmedia Nope... back home after being out since 7am. And guess what... no virgin broadband... Still. I can't work. I can't stream. I can't log into the EA/STEAM apps to play games on my pc. Thanks for putting my costs up and dropping the service @virginmedia

    Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

    @virginmedia just had the misfortune to speak to the rudest person ever whilst trying to sort out my abysmal connection speed when she put the phone down on me after a 20 minute wait!!

    @virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!

    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...

    @virginmedia You don’t see chuff all in stoke because of how **** your service as become constant buffering issues now for months How do we claim refunds for loss of service

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

  • ChrisLaws1
    Chris Laws (@ChrisLaws1) reported from Cheadle, England

    @virginmedia please sort your service out... I have now been on the phone to you for almost an hour. The first person hung up on me, the second was rude and useless. All for £0.01 which I don't owe. No wonder the landlords are removing virgin from all of the apartments

    @virginmedia Hi guys. The voice activated part of my remote isn’t working at the moment. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix the issue please? Thanks in advance for your help!

    @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

    bob cain (@bobcainffc1971) reported

    Very angry this morning after receiving a call allegedly from @virginmedia threatening to switch off my cable TV. Assuming it is a scam but if not it is a disgrace which @Ofcom should stop. Had my current TIVO box for 9 years and been a cable customer for 30 years.@danfrancis02

    @virginmedia 18 months loyal, 1 Gig, zero issues. Renewal offer: £33 for 125 Mbps (250 Volt) – worse than new deals. Customer loyalty clearly means nothing.

    @virginmedia I have to switch the subtitles on again if I change the channel ? These are the main concerns regarding the 'upgrade' which unfortunately I am stuck with Surely if you have the technology to upgrade you will have the technology to achieve a down grade

    @virginmedia Sort your broadband out for **** sake you charge a lot of money for uour services yet provide a sub standard product it is a disgrace get it sorted

  • cam_bridgewater
    Cambridgewater.x (@cam_bridgewater) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness . Just "upgraded" to Voom 1 gig from 500. Speed slower than previously. Called technical .. they did some fault clearing and told me to reboot router, now I have no internet at all. Technical can't help reverse the error as they don't have full access .. unbelievable. Worst service ever. How can a technician make things worse and then tell me an engineer will be with me Monday ..
