@virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

@virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

@virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

@virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

@virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

@virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

@virginmedia Having to phone up and tell you that I am going to cancel every year and every year you tell me that "here's the best deal we can give you" then I say "yeah yeah, put me through to the retention place who'll offer me the similar price" and magically a new deal appears...

@Aaron_Lincs @virginmedia Unfortunately due to them hanging up on me, then when I called back their offices had shut. I'm hoping jess may be able to help her with it today. Honestly the whole experience was hard work and extremely unhelpful. Hoping to make a complaint against @virginmedia

@virginmedia Hi. It’s just really slow and has considerably gotten worse of the last few weeks. I have tried everything in my power to resolve the issue and would appreciate and engineer being sent out to check the router etc. FYI no error message is on the box but speed is very slow

@virginmedia I’ve had two engineers out over almost two weeks and still no installation. Every time I call customer services I get a different answer 🙃

@virginmedia how can you have the bare faced audacity to use the headline reliable fast broadband. It's never working. Been crap since last October

@virginmedia Down again today, many people have taken to social media to express their disappointment as they are unable to work from home effectively as a consequence. Can you please escalate this to a manager and ask them to call me?

Charley
(@Charley_ZanMato) reported
@virginmedia It's not the hub, it's the whole area. When will these issues be sorted? The whole area has had problems for weeks now. & the compensation scheme is useless. The internet could be off for 46hrs, back on for 2, then off again for 46hrs and Virgin wouldn't have to pay compensation!

@virginmedia sort it out, was on a call to your customer service and was informed that I’m getting a 10th of what I’m paying for, was told I’d get an engineer round by February the latest, it’s now March

Robert Frost
(@Rob_J_Frost) reported
@virginmedia It's not a surprise. It's just a tedious going through the motions to avoid paying 30 quid over the odds for what's already a very expensive service. If you offered the extended contract and continuation of discount in your letter that would at least be honest.
