@virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

@virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

@virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

@virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

@virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

@krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

@skirglepips @gayxchange04 @virginmedia @CherylHoleQueen It’s probably good to know that the xfactor is so produced that the good and the bad singers are often head hunted and told what to sing for good tv

@Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

Fancy doing anything about shockingly slow broadband speeds in some rural Tier 4 areas? Video chat for elderly residents in these areas during Christmas should be a given not a luck. @bt_uk @virginmedia @SkyUK . #loneliness #tier4 #christmascancelled

@virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

@virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

@virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

@virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

@treysis @noIPv6 @omnomis @virginmedia @tschaeferm @adam_as61 Nah, @AskCiti always used to be the only way to get competent customer service. At one point I almost took to using them first without even bothering to go through the proper channels first.

@virginmedia @virginmedia I have just tried this and I am getting an error advising 'wrong network'. I can tether from my phone and connect to Internet on the TV but it doesn't seem to be letting me past. I assume I have been lied to and misled, once again?

(@MendesCassian) reported
@virginmedia Seems to be up now. I understand that this was planned work. At very least @virginmedia should notify re unavailability. Can’t have the network down especially when presenting to an audience. It’s thrice in past 4 to 5 weeks I have lost service. No reliability anymore.

@virginmedia maybe I can get response on here after having the phone put down on me twice? I’m simply trying to downgrade my package but none of the phone staff will accept it and have both put the phone down on me now?

@virginmedia Hi there - we've been having "intermittent" outages for nearly a week in E11. Unable to speak to anyone by phone. Recorded message just says the problem is "complex" - can you please tell me when this will be fixed. Thank you.

@virginmedia EXACTLY I went through a bad financial situation in Lockdown and couldn’t pay, did you help ?? NO !!! After 20yrs of loyal custom and can’t manage to wipe the debt,instead you keep it and add an extra £20 to the bill every month for a £122 package and this is the problem…
