WTF @virginmedia ?!? You sent the router box sealed and the connector cables is missing! Appalling customer service, waiting over 1h to talk to someone 🤢

******* typical. Self isolating & my @virginmedia Internet & TV have gone down due to some issue in the area. Had just started working my way through season 8 of #SilentWitness.

@virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that and it said the signal was weak. Pressed the button to optimise the WiFi or router or whatever it is and that didn’t work. Is it not the job of the router to emit a strong WiFi signal? All the devices trying to connect are modern and up to date.

@virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

@mikejtisherwood @virginmedia Good Luck took @virginmedia 3 months to respond to my complaint! They are great until something goes wrong..

@virginmedia I’m on M600 Fibre Broadband. On my account it says ‘our broadband doesn’t get quicker than this. You’re on our top tier broadband!’ If I got a Hub 4 and 1gb broadband, would that guarantee a stronger and faster WiFi network?

@aliciaverbs @virginmedia I’m similarly pissed with Sky, didn’t have internet in North London the whole day yesterday. Such a **** show

To all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.

@virginmedia Your online status reports no faults but as I said in the thread, I have called your support centre at least 10 times & they confirm there is a fault which has been the case since the 2nd of March. I am assured, every time I call, that it will be fixed within 7 days. It never is

@virginmedia Good morning. Yes it’s an ongoing problem that isn’t going to go away on its own, it needs resolving please. I see that there is now a Hub 4 available, does that emit a stronger WiFi signal? And what about Booster Pods? I don’t live it a mansion, it’s just a normal 3 bed semi.

@virginmedia There was a fault- already checked. Need to know why this keeps happening - paying £63 a month for a service that hardly ever works!

@virginmedia Yes but only after taking the complaint to CISAS, really poor support I’m afraid to say...

@Simon_Shell @virginmedia And you won't. They are, without doubt, the worst company/customer service in existence.

@virginmedia Considering I’ve experienced multiple internet and TV issues over the last few weeks (whilst trying to work from home) it would be appreciated to see some compensation on next months bill

More spam scam calls claiming to be from @virginmedia today. I’ve put in a complaint but not hopeful as they seem to want to blame anyone but the apparent leak of numbers to scammers. Offcom or somewhere higher next if we don’t get this sorted. Blog post tomorrow. I’m pissed off.

@Ofcom hi, @virginmedia is refusing to help us deal with constant scam calls on a new number after our old one was bombarded with them too. It would seem that that somehow scammers have got hold of some of their numbers. How do we deal with this if Virgin won’t?

Absolutely shocking @virginmedia, customer of 16 years coming up to contract renewal offered a contract £20 more a month than a new customer would get for the same bundle. Totally unacceptable in these times to try and fleece loyal customers out of money they don’t have.

@virginmedia Well a lot more than 0.0 I would imagine. I'm still awaiting a response to my complaint, still expecting a call back from your customer management team and still awaiting a solution to the area outage. Thankfully the team at @bt_uk have been more helpful.

@virginmedia No, I didn’t have time today as I’ve had to take time out of two days of work in my failed attempts to speak to anyone as of yet. It’s really not good enough and I would like to cancel your services.

@virginmedia When can I expect my cheque or refund into my bank as I shouldn't be making unnecessary journeys? Do I have to phone you useless customer service multiple times for this to happen?
