@virginmedia been on hold to cs for 20+ minutes. No tv service. Intermittent service for the last 4/5 weeks. I just want to watch tv. I pay £100s /yr and yet not getting the service expected. I think I will have to contact Sky for a comparison sad after 15 years

@virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

@virginmedia Not sure tbh- it took at least 2 hours for the update to complete. Our connection frequently drops and is slow.

@Lionbites @virginmedia @SkyUK You’re very picky. We had no broadband service from @virginmedia yesterday morning and no phone yesterday evening. 20 minutes to answer a phone call. I think they’re all challenged for customer service

@virginmedia Spent all of my lunch time finding out why the engineer didn’t turn up this morning only to be let down on a call back at 5:30 this evening.. utterly useless

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@virginmedia had issues for years......so many calls logged. Wifi doesnt cover whole house and is intermittent all day. Its frustrating. Just logging another call now. Used so much mobile data due to these issues. Never had an issue in this house until virgin.

@jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

@virginmedia So now I have to ring to cancel because that's too much or give you a chance to fix the price. Both take time out of my day when we only did this less then 2 months ago.

@virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

@virginmedia No my wife works from home 2 days a week. She constantly gets logged out. No help from customer service. I have the agents ref number and the rough time of the call. Very disappointed

@virginmedia Please don’t try to diagnose a router fault on Twitter... just get your dismal support team to replace the router, which I have been trying for 8 months

@virginmedia Really doesn’t seem much point in doing that unless your status page shows it’s fixed. This is an utter **** show and I won’t get refunded until I’m off line for 2 days? Really?

@virginmedia I have been miss-sold a WiFi booster & I'm now being charged an EXTRA £8p/m. Called THREE times and rather than fix the issues, you keep trying to sell me more bundles. THREE I've been promised a refund THREE times its not happened. Looks like I'll be going to OffCom

@virginmedia I have been on what's app with you and silly virtual assistant chat for 2 days now. Nobody live never appears. I am wanting to cancel account. I am cancelling my dd. Please do not charge me anymore, I do not require this service anymore but cannot get in contact.

Hi @virginmedia having just informed us on price increase you quite rightly say we can cancel our contact with you. But.......how on earth do we do that when you won't answer the phone? Third time of trying and an hour on hold each time.

@virginmedia Are you unable to answer this question? Is anyone there actually aware of how to correctly deal with a complaint? ....Or is everyone's attitude, "Oh well, just another dissatisfied customer?"'

Please don't put the words "Virgin Media" and "customer service" in the same sentence, ever again. They are awful.

@Villamad_4 @virginmedia I'll be keeping Prime and may resubscribe to Netflix. Otherise, You Tube will do it for me. Plus, I need to move around a bit more, so less TV should help.

Virgin Media showing how shoit they are again. Slow connection or loss of connection on work devices or when using streaming apps. Advice: using lots of devices can affect connection speed. Me: I've already explained I'm home alone, just back from holiday and only using netflix
