Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

@virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

@virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

@virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

it’s another day where virgin media’s internet is broken and has speeds so painfully slow using a snail would make things load

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?

Satay
(@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.

(@UnitedByApple) reported
@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
