@virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@virginmedia Your an absolute joke of a company, you charge me £50 a month for broadband and it hasn’t worked for the last 2 months, 4 people in our street have the same problem but yet when an engineer comes out they claim they’ve fixed it when they havent,sort it out,disgrace.

@virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

@_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

@virginmedia up to their scams again and when you get through all the button pressing on the phone and are past from one to another then when you start asking questions they hang up .

@MrPaulTreadwell @virginmedia @Ofcom I’ve just spoken to a very rude lady in retentions. Have been lied to, apparently I was on the internet all day yesterday, I was in the office.

@stephanemassey @VirginMediaCorp You should leave Virgin Media, I can pretty much guarantee the service won’t improve and you’ll be left with no internet on a regular basis.

@virginmedia Not sure tbh- it took at least 2 hours for the update to complete. Our connection frequently drops and is slow.

@virginmedia Nonsense. If you valued me as a customer I would not have gone through 3 months of unanswered calls and when I did speak to staff- accusations of lying. Check your records before cut and pasting bland replies.

@BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

@Poxo01 We have been battling rising costs and poor service with @virginmedia for years. Have argued down the contract repeatedly due to issues. Just got the internet and home control stable again and then get another price increase letter. Fed up with them.

@virginmedia tremendous service had problems with my tv service for 3 weeks now which you still haven’t sorted and now you put my bill up and to try and sort it all out I’ve now been on hold for an hour shocking

@virginmedia trying to get some help with my router and I'm on hold for 20 mins then get cut off - no chat facility available and no email help - rather frustrating !

@Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

@MrCMorley @virginmedia If it’s anything like the ongoing outage in Four Oaks they won’t bother to contact you. I checked they had my correct details and I’ve had no updates. I’ve now cancelled my contract.

@ChrisScottBtn I’m fed up of this process year on year with an ongoing problematic service. Three complaints, two left unanswered. And then the onus is on you to chase! I cannot be bothered with them anymore. That’s the level customer service I’ve come to expect from @virginmedia now.

@virginmedia Well your operators keep hanging up on me and passing me on to other deptartments then after hours they hang up. It's so frustrating when they tell you there is no fault but it's been off for 7 days+ Working from home with no internet means I am essentially unemployed.

@virginmedia having issues again with slow internet speeds and completely losing internet connection... this is happening almost every day now, I can't get through on the phone and can't get a response on live chat....

@SuperFran @virginmedia I lose internet up to 8hrs a day at worst since April. Virgin don’t seem to be interested in fixing the problem. It was reported in May but told to report it again after official complaint. Got told no compensation under off-com rules. Hope @richardbranson is enjoying my money.

@A_Johnstone @virginmedia They truly don't.. I've called twice today in the last hour, been palmed off both times and my upload speed has gotten worse.. absolute wankers. You think @richardbranson is having issue with his right now orrrr..? 😒

@virginmedia I have now reported to CIAS as I can no longer waste time on this. I work full time with children home schooling and isolating because of being in contact with covid and your internet service was appalling.

@virginmedia I can appreciate the current times are a struggle with staff etc but to charge me £136 for your services then leave me waiting to speak to someone for 50 mins (and counting) is diabolical. My contract is up and I’ve never been as close as I am now to rejoining @skytv
