@virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

@virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

@virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

@virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

@virginmedia I would like to leave. Charges have increased and service is woefully inadequate compared to cost. Web site says to ring. I have rung several times - put on hold for almost an hour, then I get cut off. Every time.

(@DaveCooksonDLZ) reported
@virginmedia wish to discuss cancelling my account due to poor service for the amount paid, certainly not willing to pay even more. After an hour no one responded to live chat yesterday and I've been on hold for over 30 mins today, for £54.50 per month I expect much better

@virginmedia I have sent text messages to the number you provided on here, and I last spoke to several customer representatives on 26th January, then asked to speak to a manager, was put on hold for 50 minutes, then you cut me off/the line went dead. So, nothing has been resolved.

@virginmedia Not recently. The only offer I have been given is pay more £ for more MBs. Problem is we are already paying a lot and we only average about 80% of the expected download speed anyway.
