@virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to your customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!! I’ve now got to drive to London and work through the night! Appalling!

@virginmedia The new box arrived, and the WiFi sorted itself out for now at least. The boosters are still generating the old network also. I’m planning on leaving everything as it is till it goes wrong again, then I’ll call.

@virginmedia The service status page hasn’t updated since 1pm. Everyone in the area has the internet down and yet I’m being told right now on the phone there is no problem. I had an engineer booked tomorrow and VM cancelled that and now can’t send one until Monday? Awful service.

@virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

@virginmedia I’m not a technician, can you guys just let me leave my contract after this. Terrible customer service, even worse service, waiting to join @EE but stuck in a contract that only seems to work one way. You really are a shambles.

Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

@virginmedia if you think I am going to be talking to my family over Christmas while my WiFi is down, you can think again. Get the engineer out here or I'm sending you shite in the post daily.

@virginmedia Why would my page have no update since 1pm? I’m only getting updates via community Facebook page and my parents. My postcode is CT10 2SW. I would also like to know why my engineer visit was cancelled and how I make a complaint.

@virginmedia I am extremely unhappy broadband been down since 1.15pm. Booked an engineer. This has been cancelled with no explanation. Can’t book another. Service status says it’s fine but many others online in CT10 says there is an area issue. First person on phone hung up.

@virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.

@virginmedia can someone with some commom sense and value on customer loyalty get in touch. We've currently no need for tv or landlines at all, yet if I switch to M350 only, you want to charge me a fortune. Why do new customers get it for £29 yet my price is £46?! 16 years..

@virginmedia morning. As part of the work order and complaint I have open for my multiple and ghost recordings issue. I've been advised the engineers are fixing a connection and server issue to my router and V6 boxes . Does this mean they are doing some programming and updating?

Jane Gilliland
(@ndh2007) reported
@virginmedia My tivo box broke & the lady on the phone booked an engineer. She renewed our contract & applied a discount. She offered the new 360 boxes which we declined as I just wanted mine fixing. The engineer couldnt fix it so replaced it with a v6 box. You've sent a 360 box I don't need

@virginmedia Interestingly one of your sales people rang me yesterday....proceeded in asking if we wanted to progress our enquiry, on hearing the issue, she agreed to send an engineer out to review on Monday. Then she put me on hold....and cut me off, pretty sure that was intentional...

@FabioRosado_ @virginmedia It's crazy! Loyal costumes get the worst deals! They are just forcing long term costumers to go somewhere else! What's the business strategy in that?

@virginmedia I have been a loyal customer of yours for 25 years. My treatment by your CS today was disgraceful. I am trying to cancel some of my services and have been on the phone for a total of 97mins. You are changing the offer made to me 24 hours ago. You are a disgrace
