@virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

@virginmedia No these error has been for weeks, they bought a new TV today because they thought that was the problem it isn't and we can't speak to a human being.

@virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

@virginmedia how can you put my bill up yet new customers can have the same for £30.00 cheaper ,20 years a valued customer but no incentives to renew my contract

@virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

@virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

Anyone else who gave their details to track and trace suddenly being spammed with fake email accounts, and bombarded with phone calls from fake VirginMedia/BT claiming broadband speeds are up and down?

@virginmedia So me as a customer who don’t know this information, and searches your customer number after you don’t provide your services, been kept 40mins on phone line and then get phone put down from your staff. Brilliant!!!

@virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

@virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

@virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

@virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

@virginmedia There's an ongoing issue in the n21 area of London that has been ongoing for a few months now. The broadband keeps dropping out for a minute evey 20 minutes so when I work from home my access to my work system is thrown out. It's very annoying. Also streaming films freezes

@virginmedia This appears to be a forum of virgin users and there is no official post about the current outage. I'll try and call later to arrange one thanks for your help.

@virginmedia I asked an agent to put a note on my account saying I don't want sales calls, the man yesterday said he had seen it and carried on anyway. The problem is not me 1/1

@virginmedia can I please send you a DM / ask someone to get in contact? I’ve got nowhere with your rude advisor over the phone.

@virginmedia Well if your team would response to my complaint, or even provide the call data when your Sales Rep “Fully Explained” these exit fees in a script and I agreed I understood them. Hopefully the DSAR request will only take the official 30 day period, rather than the 45 Scott said!

@virginmedia hi, I’m struggling to get through to you. I have intermittent WiFi, run all tests possible which show no issues but think I need the hub replacing as it’s getting hot and dropping off WiFi signal a few times an hour

@virginmedia That’s been my issue, getting through. Is there a secure online chat I can use to arrange this?
