@virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

@virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

@louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

@virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

@virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

@virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

@virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

@virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

@virginmedia @virginmedia im getting really fed up with your poor customer service. You keep contacting me asking for you media box back since I cancelled my contract. You have failed to send me the special package to put it in, you have called me several times and passed me around, 1/2

@virginmedia Was a while back. We've reset before but never seems to make much difference. Can do so now though

(@Avenelle5) reported
@virginmedia No joy. Automated voice sent us to the test you advised. We've checked it 3 times. It just goes into a loop/repeat then cuts off. So, the automated voice said we'll get an engineer, but no advice how to as you get cut off. Say the hubs not connected, but it's clearly broken.

@virginmedia Both (wireless and wired) My area is down. Is there any way I can get compensated for the loss of service?

(@artisan68) reported
Why are @virginmedia unable to deduct the credit which they have been promising for the last three months? Each time, we're told it's in the offing, but it never materialises. Complaints procedure is useless

(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia DownDetector isn't accurate? But your status page that never reports issues that affect myself and people on my road using your service is perfectly accurate is it? Your status page that didn't even report a 3 day planned maintenance outage last year is accurate is it?

@virginmedia Wired is fine generally. The WiFi is fine in most parts of the house, there's just a couple of spots where I can't get a signal and one of them is our bedroom which gets pretty frustrating.

@virginmedia Doesn’t get me any internet now though does it. Why should I pay for a service that I’m not getting!

Ashley Sheridan
(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia Which brings us nicely to the other point. Why did I get 3 separate emails "advising" me how to best position my devices to get best wifi signal, when my *wired" computer had the problem as well? Your company line is to always blame the customer and never admit fault.

(@Avenelle5) reported
@virginmedia So, we need an engineer, tomorrow to fix this. But no way of speaking to anyone or arranging this. If it's not fixed by tomorrow evening we will be going elsewhere.
