As my @virginmedia bill is now creeping up towads 130pcm I called to cancel or negotiate. A small discount was offered. I was surprised how little effort was made to retain a customer. (‘OK, thank you for calling’). So I’ll have to switch.

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that issues happen, but it would be nice to know more than just “we’re currently having issues”. If someone told me “a bolt of lightning from that thunderstorm you had hit the cabinet and fried it” or something, we’d probably be a lot more understanding.

@virginmedia new broadband routers now working, speeds dropped massively when I can get internet, tried for 14 minutes to get through to your customer service (being charged thanks for that) and can’t get access to my account as your team registered my email address wrong. Help!

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that. But after signing up to SMS updates four times via two methods, I’d expect to at least be receiving texts telling me that the fix times have been pushed back.

@virginmedia I tried texting that number and got no answer. I just tried calling the helpline, was on hold for about 20 minutes, was asked for all my contact details and then your operator told me her system is down and I should call back in 2 hours!!

@virginmedia No, I didn’t get any estimates. Just a generic “we’re sorry you’re still having issues, our engineers are currently working on it but it’s taking longer than expected” (something along those lines at least).

@virginmedia Both wired and not, advised to turn off and back on, diagnostics checked at your end, engineer visit, resulted in all new v6 boxes (x2) and a new internet hub also internal wiring checked and re-connected. Issue seemed to be resolved for a while but after then goes off altogether

@virginmedia Our internet has been down completely since early this morning (not intermittently like the automated message is suggesting) and I still don’t know if it’s a problem in the area, or just our own property.

It is beginning to look like @virginmedia have fraudulently sold us a package that was not available to me due to the many reasons that your various customer service team members mentioned before they hung up by putting me on “hold” and made me ring back...

@emmah1188 @virginmedia Completely incompetent. Customer service is unacceptable. Unable to give a ‘goodwill gesture’ as we’re not account holders despite having an account number, set up a direct debit and signing a contract.

@MoneyTelegraph - The @virginmedia server provider has been the worst ever experienced. Connection dropouts, having the contract changed without consent, multiple advisers assuring it would be rectified and now mobile number disconnected without warning and chasing to retrieve.

@virginmedia Call 1 to cancellations team, After 20 minutes put through to the faults team, as she was investigating for 2 minutes she hung up. Call 2, After 20 minutes, through to the faults team, a different person. He cannot do anything as there is a problem in the area, ignores my issues

@HelenK17 As long as RTE are in charge we'll never win it. If Virgin Media 3 had the rights I would be super confident.

@virginmedia do you have a complaints or resolution team where I could speak to an actual person trained in dealing with issues please? I've got two existing complaints (about different things) and getting nowhere with your call centre

@CambridgeFibre I believe you are doing works in Histon. Any chance you may be planning to service those of us in the village that @btopenreach and @virginmedia have ignored?
