@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

@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 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 Please could you provide an update as to why there’s no internet in the Wilmslow area again? I rely greatly on broadband to carry out my job, it’s unacceptable for this to happen without warning, time and time again, with no idea of when the service will resume.

@RabnawazA @virginmedia Yes my partners zoom meetings crash even though we got a 300 Mb line the Wi-Fi signal is not that great and we got boosters what we tend to do is use mobile data for the rest of us but we are in the fortunate situation that we can

@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 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 Thought it was tough to connect to someone on phone (57 mins wait) and another 36 mins convincing your helpdesk colleague that there is a problem - they sent someone within 12 hours to check and that talented technician found and fixed the issue in 20 mins.. all sorted !! 👍🏻👍🏻

@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 I recently put in a request to cancel my contract. The email is from an operative offering a good deal, but its asking me to call him on on his mobile as he's working at home

@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 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

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 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 I get that you're busy but 3 seconds promised multiple times is just laughable. I've spoken to someone now who said coincidentally there's a planned outage today. Which doesn't explain all the other days I can't connect. Promised WiFi would work for whole house.... Cont...

@EmmaBabeyy93 @virginmedia It's come up on my service status finally and it says its due to be fixed by 13.20. One of the neighbours suggested the solar storm last night caused it because their service is also down! They're not on Virgin. Not sure if there's any truth in it.

@virginmedia And it doesn't. Told I have to pay £5 per month for pod extender. We were promised a booster for free and never received this. Right now my laptop is 'connected' but has no Internet connection still. Other devices same.

@virginmedia I have. Been zero help. As I said your colleague said your network is rubbish. Really bad service. @VodafoneUKBiz I never has any issues. @virginmedia is terrible with awful customer service.
