After calling Linksys, it was 45 mins on the phone with @virginmedia with the agent arguing with me that they can’t help with my hub if it’s in modem mode only for them to pass it on to someone else who changes a setting and asks me to reset. 30 wait for results now.

@virginmedia Not sure who we’ve been speaking to for the last day. But they’ve been the most helpful member of staff we’ve had contact with over the last five months. Has not only helped me fix the problem, answered any questions, but is taking my formal complaint further for us.

So @virginmedia sat an hour in help chat waiting for reply regarding my issue/query of my broadband After an hour I guess you wasn't interested in helping me out. To me shows a totally lack of respect to a loyal customer with full package 🤬 Could you provide a CS number

@JackoGaz @virginmedia It’s down over the whole city. I broke it out of sheer frustration watching that drivel and spent the third period cooking vegetables rather than continue watching. That’s how serious it was 🥬🥒🥕🥦

@virginmedia hi guys can you confirm if you are having any broadband issues in the SM4 postcode. Your email says it’s fine then issues then fine again.

(@MueenPasha5) reported
@virginmedia I am contacting them through Whatsapp, as my previous experience calling is that I will wait ages to get through, then the advisor will hang up or disconnect the call either by mistake or because they don't want to deal with the matter.

LN Complains
(@lns2022uk) reported
@virginmedia Maybe i'm getting old before my time, but when I was younger and infact worked in call centers myself, when someone said "can i speak to a manager" they could speak to one on that call not wait 72 hours to speak to them. In what world is that good customer service?

Leon Spight

@virginmedia No, didn’t know there were issues in the area. A lot of households in the area lost wifi around 9am this morning, which is when this “work” began, supposed to have finished by 3pm but we still can’t get online. Router is solid green line or flashing green line and green arrows.

@virginmedia Because you’d not want to be sure to give correct info on notice to disconnect in a thread about customer being given incorrect info on notice to disconnect… Folks who didn’t have any other option for TV (if reasons not to have a Sky dish) and/or folks who previously only (1/n)

@virginmedia adopted a new sales technique? Placing orders on my behalf without myself explicitly confirming if I’d like to proceed, then calling to fix the issue and being told I can’t cancel it…

@virginmedia Sorry but that's unacceptable, I've now got to call you for the 18th time to sort the same issue. I've lost days of work, money and patience down to this. I expect my broadband to be fixed tomorrow and a reimbursement of my funds.
