    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

    @virginmedia I was supposed to get texts telling me what was going on. Instead I have had to do the chasing. My system is still not working.

    @virginmedia Yeah default =tab, it may be normal for you but not any other provider or router manufacturer. Clearly no point in complaining about a terrible user experience I will just have to buy a router and put yours into the modem mode (which it will probably lose after a update)

  • starbuck2003
    Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

    @virginmedia So, 3 phone calls over 50 mins all cut off! All I wanted to do was pay off a handset and upgrade a contract. Customer service 0/10!

    @virginmedia trying to find your TV only plans on your website is a nightmare. Can’t do anything on your slow clunky mobile website.

    @virginmedia Look I've had two days of total crap from you guys. I just don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. You've took money off me wen u shouldn't. Because of covid I'm on less money so an extra 26 quid is massive to us,but all your guys keep doing is fobbing us off. 😠

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.

    @virginmedia what’s wrong with your virgin media tv? Did an ‘update’ and now every time I turn on the tv it loads into TiVo and I have to go back to Virgin again. And now your red button for Sky sports doesn’t work. Tell me how to fix these issues, they’re maddening.

  • lizzyfmant
    Liz Vine (@lizzyfmant) reported

    @virginmedia can you please update when you plan to solve the intermittent service issue in the ME8 area. Really fed up of my internet cutting out daily. Engineer yesterday says it’s an open issue however it’s been going on weeks. Surely you should have resolved this by now?

  • vdaybabygirl85
    Krystle (@vdaybabygirl85) reported

    @virginmedia Imagine for weeks upon weeks your internet has not been working. Can't connect on chat as no data and WiFi not working. Ran out of data repeatedly and have had to top up eSims And U have the AUDACITY to say my services will be suspended for non payment. No thanks

    @virginmedia @njwoodward You say your technical teams are working actively to fix the problem!With regards do they know what they are doing as it’s been like this since yesterday and I’ll be requesting a refund for this inconvenience?

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    Appalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!

    Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported

    @virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.
