@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 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, 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!!!!

@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!

Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

@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 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 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...

@virginmedia Hello yes it doesn’t say there’s an issue just keeps saying a wire isn’t plugged in properly

@virginmedia your online help is a waste of time. Fed up of having intermittent WiFi and being unable to speak to someone to resolve.

(@ReKoill) reported
@virginmedia My connection drops every 20 seconds or so but ONLY on the pc connected via ethernet, the WiFi is stable. We phoned for help and they told us it's an area issue and to monitor it for 7 days before they'll do anything. How can a network issue make the ethernet drop but WiFi stable

(@charlotteh2912) reported
@virginmedia Nope. No issues. It's not a current issue it's continuously rubbish just now even worse than normal
-
ReKoill
(@ReKoill) reported
@virginmedia They did not, just that there was an intermittent issue in the area which was affecting the ethernet connection, which is BS. We were told to monitor it for 7 days, we can't exactly be without a reliable connection for 7 days cos the phone operator didn't wanna help today.

@virginmedia Hi, I cannot get into my account and when I try to reset it, it takes me to a broken page and doesn’t redirect me etc there’s no way to email or message you directly, can you help please

(@EilidhNash) reported
@virginmedia Well sure, if you refuse to deliver broadband to rural areas which cannot support high speed broadband because no company will pay to upgrade our exchanges and therefore raise your lowest speed through exclusion, of course you're going to be the fastest BB provider #FasterCloser

@TomParker @virginmedia I had a load of trouble with them. Constantly losing WIFI. Even when I had it it was shocking. And trying to leave them was awful. Had a phone call last month from them when I left almost 2 years ago. #Shocking

@virginmedia Not good. Failed to give me a complaint reference number and transferred to a bit. My Internet is apparently down and tried calling now and yet again couldn't speak to anyone and been sent a link to my phone. What if I didn't have phone data? How would you expect me to do this?

ReKoill
(@ReKoill) reported
@virginmedia Zero issues in my area for anything, I looked this up while on the phone to the helpline and told them that and they just ignored me saying "well there is an issue"
