@virginmedia When I ring this number (which is what I have been trying) all I get is “we are sorry, we are busy, you might want to call us later” & the line disconnects. This is awful service VM. How can you run such an appalling service where we cannot get hold of anyone for help/support.

@virginmedia That is not true. We are meant to have the fastest speed at 200 but it rarely goes over 50. The connection is unstable and is throttled at busy times. It cuts out and is unreliable plus it is impossible to get hold of support. Shameful and shambolic.

@virginmedia Do you know what for the amount you offer off of my bill, for loss of service, it would appear you need the money more than me! Sometimes the internet is also affected

@virginmedia Can you arrange someone to call me? I have been trying to call your service since I received the letter - which was middle of Jan.

So our education system & business activity now utterly reliant on solid, fast, reliable internet service that market consistently fails to deliver. @virginmedia down again this am. Time for state to take control of this crucial, strategic infrastructure. Really is a joke ATM.

@virginmedia Hi, the wifi disconnects several times throughout the day. An engineer changed our hub last year. We then spent £80 on wifi extenders/repeaters/boosters. We want to change the wifi channel to see if that works, but login details are incorrect on the hub.

@virginmedia You probably do not get we are in a pandemic and need to be working from home?!?! We’re having issues that are work-related due to your negligence as a provider. We’ve called again and we’re promised the issue would be fixed by tomorrow. Just like last time. LIARS. Refund us all!

@virginmedia When it is heavy rain, yes it does cause a problem. On the app the fault is still being fixed and has been like this since Friday. If it is not fixed, can you tell me how much I can expect off of my bill?

@virginmedia Have you ever not been too busy? You have the worst customer service known to man. Every comedian compares bad customer service to you. You are the benchmark for bad. I have been trying to get in touch for five hours now. Chat, phone, Twitter and SMS.

@virginmedia No you probably do it understand the extent of your lack of service. We have been having no internet for weeks and every time we call we get the automated voice saying the line is busy and to call later. 3 WEEKS like this. You guys need to sort this out.

@Leigh5Tom @virginmedia As an existing customer, they are known for their poor customer service. Can never get through on phone and that is main access point to info. Website CS info poor, with zero joined up thinking. Pretty good speed when working. Good luck!

@th4tguy92 @virginmedia Do you have the Hub 4. I think it’s a hub 4 is crap or VM engineers can’t control it. Let’s try the number they have given.

@virginmedia Hi, thanks for your reply. The issue has been going on for almost a year and on my account, there isn’t an outage in the area. So if someone could contact me that would be great. Thanks

@virginmedia I have had issues with it on and off continuously since I joined. 99% of the time the checker says nothing is wrong. Is there any way that an engineer can come and check the stability of my connection? Which decides to cut out every couple of days

@virginmedia what brilliant technology utterly soured by almost comically bad customer service. I say “almost” as there’s nothing funny about taking 5 weeks, countless phone calls, endless hours of online chat & 2 formal complaints to just get my bill right. Not asking much.

@virginmedia I have issues with no 5Ghz access on my hub 3. Status is fine according system test and there are only so many times I can reset my hub, which seems to be the only advice you can give!

@virginmedia im trapped in a more expensive contract. service is dire!! Calls cut off - clearly they have my number but don't callback so presume deliberate. A manager saying "I'm done" shouting at me & over me. Case supposed to be escalated. Got a letter saying Virgin not heard from me

@virginmedia I need to contact you. I have tried by chat (what a terrible service). I just rang, you answered the phone and hung up immediately. I am livid. How are you going to help me?

@virginmedia I was told an engineer was doing work in the area to resolve the issue, but this has been going on for weeks and I have read online multiple engineers have been out to the area. I would just like some clarity as to what is actually going on.

@virginmedia Hi. Thanks for your reply. It is everywhere. The technical team have said it is a problem with the routing of the number. But they haven’t updated my ticket for 9 days now. I really need this sorting out

@virginmedia I submitted a formal complaint on Monday, as there have been times, such as on Monday, where I was unable to work from home as the internet was completely unusable. I had the complaint escalated, but have heard nothing since.
