@virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

@virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

@virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

@virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

@virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

@virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

I wonder if @virginmedia could tell me how, when I don’t have a dialling tone and thus can’t get a call out, how I can dial 150 to report the problem to them?

(@satayRL) reported
@virginmedia Yes used the connect app and tried WiFi trouble shooting. All im getting Is suggestions for a £5/m upgrade to WiFi pods. I however won't pay extra for a feature I was promised on sign up. It was literally the deciding factor for leaving sky, guaranteed speed in all rooms.

@virginmedia No. Worse. No internet since 2345hrs last night and currently almost 8am. Estimated fix time was 4h30m ago. Only pay £67pm for this ‘service” too!!! Twice in 48 hours now extended down time. Not good enough.

(@TosinTweets) reported
@virginmedia Your engineers haven't attempted to replace the wall connection or potentially faulty hub. Would make sense for them to attempt that right? Is a forum chat to enlighten your engineer or show me how to fix a problem with virgin services? If virgin cannot fix it cancellation it is
