@virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

@virginmedia I spoke to a rude adviser who said they’d escalate it. However my pac code has already been swapped out and there was no urgency. I am now waiting in the hope that someone else doesn’t get control of my phone

@virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

@virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

@virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.

Not happy with @virginmedia paying £70 a month for tv/(which is awful) internet and landline - want to delete tv still (£61) - internet drops out all the time exit fees would be £240 anyone else find them extortionate for poor service?

The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

@virginmedia Even if everything is replaced. Box, entire cabling, whatever. I'm not getting the service that I pay for, over an extended period of time.

@virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

@virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

@virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

@virginmedia broadband in BS166EB is totally rubbish again, got to switch this service is really really poor #inconsistent at best.

@virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2

@virginmedia I have now for the fourth time in your app chat been told I'm being passed to the tech team. Every time, they put me in a queue then I end up back with the billing team who promise I'm with the right person then say they can't help. What do I have to do?

Never thought we'd have to contact @cedrsays regarding @virginmedia charging us too much per month for our package to what was verbally agreed, & never responding to multiple calls, emails, letters. Nearly 6 years loyalty & this is what you get. Terrible way to treat a customer.

@virginmedia I am attempting to cancel a contract on a flat in Bristol.. Virgin media expects me to pay for a templated letter of cancellation from some other company called cancel contract or something in Kafkaresque language that also expects us to sign a contract for this company!

@virginmedia And to clarify, I've given my details 3 times (which the bot didn't understand, neither the details nor the issue), and FINALLY got connected to Tenzin, and because I was busy, I replied an hour and a half later to be responded to by the bot.

@virginmedia Also seem too busy to help via text. I'm being sent to the stupid bot every time I reply. Would seem if I don't reply as soon as possible, I get my progress reset and have to start answering the stupid questions again, with a bot that clearly doesn't work. This is disgraceful tbh

@virginmedia The status page never says there is an issue when I check it as a result of slow speeds.

@virginmedia No. I literally signed up and it gave me two options for dates to get broadband out and that was 21st or 22nd then day later email saying it’s now 8th of jan. The outside work isn’t done by virgin so they can’t help with that which is poor.
