Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

@virginmedia Thank you, but there is no point. I’ve spoken to 6 people who have all either lied or said they can’t help. Would be grateful to know why your company records calls but then refuses to listen to them though? Thanks

@virginmedia Guys, this is happening again today and is worse than its ever been. There HAS to be something wrong with either the router or the cable, as I've done everything in my power to fix it. This is making my job impossible to do and I'm suffering with falling behind because of it

@virginmedia Yep. Checked all that, used the app and it says everything is great. I called the customer service line yesterday and it said it needed to send something down the line but nothing happened.

@virginmedia I’ve got 3 separate issues! Nobody cares, I can’t use live chat coz that Isn’t working either! I’ve not had a stable connection for 24 hours, when it’s normally working I have to sit next to the router because the range is like 20 cm so I can’t use internet in any other room

@virginmedia Do you not understand it is absolutely nothing to do with speed? It's the constant outages! Pretty easy to work out how that is useless to me. Also, yet another outage with fix time tomorrow. Pls don't reply with another useless generic response as they are no help at all.

@virginmedia Thank you for pointing out what I already knew about my contract. Do you not have a response in relation to the actual issue?... The shocking service, & the obvious reason why an unhappy customer lacks any real desire to continue being a customer? Irregardless of the increase.

@virginmedia For months and months on end my WiFi has been in and out like the hokey bloody cokey. I've downloaded the signal check app and it tells me signal is great when it's clearly not. Trying my best to work from home but this is causing me unwelcome stress.

@virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

Virgin broadband down yet again! 4 months of the absolute worst service I've ever endured. Yet @virginmedia expect me to continue with them on the day of a massive price increase. I'd phone them, but don't really care for waiting an hour to get through for the 20th time #Yay2021

@virginmedia my package price has gone up again and I'm now paying almost twice as much as a new customer how do I leave without having to call

@virginmedia are honestly useless! Rang with the same issue I think 12 times each time they tell me there isn’t an issue, like I’ve got time to ring and tell them issues that aren’t there! I’m tempted to just cancel my direct debit and go to sky

@virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

Been on hold to Virgin Media for over 30 mins. Internet has been so intermittent for months and this week is the worst I've ever known it. Impossible for me to WFH with it like this. Missing deadlines and not able to speak to service users. Beyond frustrating.

@virginmedia No you’re alright,, literally the worst internet provider I’ve ever come across, will be leaving and moving to Sky tomorrow

@virginmedia How about I just pay when you fix all the issues? I’m sure that if I don’t fulfil my terms of the contract regards to payment you will disconnect me but you are ok to not provide me with internet or TV services that I pay for

@virginmedia yet another broadband install cancelled at the last minute. Spent 10’s of hours trying to speak to somebody and today I was assured that the service would be connected. Despicable company. Blame COVID all you like, but you’re just completely useless. OFCOM claim!!

@virginmedia is there anything wrong with your services in Altrincham area? It’s been 36 hours of intermittent issues with broadband (fiber). Service status says everything is fine but laptops and phones are dropping off connections..

@virginmedia Eventually yes but had to go though the sales team first I get with the COVID situation it’s more tricky than normal but the 150 line though is appalling to be cut off after waiting spending nearly two hours is really poor service guys the people I did speak to were very helpful

@whippletom @virginmedia My kids have a game where they roleplay me trying to sort out a problem over the phone with Virgin. It involves surreal arguments and swearing. All based on my desperate dealings with them earlier this year...

@BarristerAbi @virginmedia We switched to BT as they will guarantee in every room. Totally gave up with Virgin - infuriatingly poor service.

@virginmedia @aghafahad Thank you coming back to me after 7 hours It was sorted at 10:40 During this most disappointing thing was that I was not able speak to customer service for help. Another fact of pushing the customers to online chat support is really not appreciated specially internet is down

@virginmedia You are the worse broadband company. Ironic that after I renew, my WiFi becomes the pits. I’ve called 3 times this week, you’ve made my connections worse even though I explained I WFH. Today I call to cancel and after an hour you cut me off. #poorcustomerservice
