@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 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 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 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?

@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, 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 Well sadly it's your job to apologise, but that doesn't solve the issue, and of course if it isn't for a minimum 24hrs there's no compensation, regardless of how much it affects your customers day to day lives.

@virginmedia - We tried calling the customer service and they are untrained and unhelpful that we got so much frustrated after speaking for 36 minutes. every department pushes the call another so much irresponsible.

@Brackmansbakery @virginmedia I'm really sorry to hear this, have you reported the fault issues to our faults team at all on 0800 052 0800 then option 3? Or via our live chat facility on our website.

@virginmedia The fix times don't make up for the lost time, especially when you are a content creator trying to meet upload deadlines to grow your brand. Your service is so unreliable I'll have to move elsewhere.

@virginmedia - I am living in Luton and facing a virgin media internet connection, Last week it's been a nightmare for internet connect . We had two engineers visiting us and giving a different reason and the moment the engineer leaves the internet connection got lost, Any help?

@virginmedia My bank sort code. This should not be a security question. Review policies and have other options. Had to go to manager to move this on. I’ve never been asked for these from any organisation and it shouldn’t be a security question.

@virginmedia is it reasonable to be out of full wifi for a week? And wait a further 48 hours for virgin to do whatever it is the call back is supposed to achieve? No call back last week, so not hopefull for this one either. Terrible customer service
