I can only imagine those responsible for exam result standardising algorithms also work for #virginmedia as our box records Peppa Pig, bbc news x6 and random other channels (we have never watched) ad infinitum- hours of calls explain it's algorithms-seriously #algorithmicjustice

@virginmedia Don’t have an Ethernet cables. My phone actually uses 5G if signal is weak so it was likely my data not WiFi

@virginmedia hi, an engineer called out of the blue and claimed to be from Virgin Media working on my broadband. How can I tell if it’s not a scam? And if it’s not, how do I reach him? He gave the general customer service number

@virginmedia We are happy, now that we're back online, but it was thanks to the two charming and communicative engineers working away in Burgess Hill that saved the day; not just because they'd fixed the issue, but they'd also told me what was going on.

@virginmedia, what happened to the Travel Channel on 289? No warnings, no I go, just gone! It was my favorite channel and it's been scrapped of your network. What's going on?

Just experienced #unethical behaviour from @virginmedia #coercing a customer, accept £20 and close a complaint or you can take it further and not accept the £20. Failure to be transparent and communicate effectively across all departments about charges #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia Hi, I eventually got a human to speak to after a very dodgy response to my tweets asking for all my bank details. Issue sorted.

@yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Agree. Might just be a faulty router. Unless you live in a castle there shouldn’t be a problem in the room next to the router. I’m in the garden and my router is 20m away in the front room.

@virginmedia Is this some kind of joke? Just called this number and got an auto reply saying voice calls are not supported on this number. The WiFi service is awful today by the way.

@yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Be that there are businesses on the same exchange backing up their data. I have a similar issue. Sky guarantee 70mb but I only get 65mb. I’m therefore able to cancel my contract and go to another provider. However. This would depend on who the provider is. Most providers buy

@virginmedia I am bitterly disappointed that you have only been able to provide a broadband service for a week and now there's nothing. My work relies on fast reliable broadband. If this doesn't get fixed this Monday, I'll be seeking another provider.

@virginmedia It was a call and it wasn’t easy to hear what they were saying. Something about having detected that my internet was slow when doing online banking. It sounded very much like the “We are from BT open reach” scam so I said I would call them back.

@virginmedia How could it be a connection issue? It is fibre optic WiFi? Also the internet has been horrid the last couple of months just haven’t had time to call both my partner and I are front line so never off in the week

@virginmedia 90 minutes though. An hour and a half? Put yourself in the customers shoes...no you can't, you're a robot. Also, I can't tell you the outcome of the 'call' as I was told to go to whatsapp I know what the outcome is going to be however, one lost customer and lots of negative press

Charo

@virginmedia Sure I can expand on this,the internet connection hasn’t been great in the last year and when I tried to call to cancel my contract I spent 1,5hr on the phone,spoke to 4 people and the last one hanged up on me saying they had issues and will call me back in 20min,never heard back

@virginmedia The order was cancelled. Phone never delivered. Email from VM tells me it is cancelled. I then get a letter telling me I am in arrears for something I have never received. I would have expected a call back if cut off.

@virginmedia my sons phone is not letting him call or send messages and it’s beginning to really annoy me and him, to the point I want to cancel virgin mobile and move to EE. He is unable to ring me and I can’t contact him. This is not acceptable.

@virginmedia Still nothing. Is it a lack of staff causing these excessive delays? @NTSscamsteam No service or support here from @virginmedia
