@virginmedia your support team are useless. 3 hours on calls today. I cannot get my time back that your operatives have wasted by hanging up or disconnecting 3 time.

@virginmedia after nearly a year of repeatedly dropped internet service finally asked them to turn off their Wi-fi kit so can use my own. Basic connection fails, again, and nothing left for support desk to blame - challenge that if it’s not on the script then no help

@amandavin @virginmedia I need fibre though because of stupid children streaming games and all sorts of nonsense. Anything other than virgin also comes with a £50 BT phone line installation. They’ve got me over a barrel

@virginmedia sadly having to post again. Home broadband down again. Your service is so unreliable it is useless. U have failed to provide a reliable broadband service and remain in breach of contract.

@alone_music @virginmedia Jesus that’s bad, thought it could be done online the activation. I moved house and they said 20£ to move. What they didn’t say was that they renewed the contract and double billed me as they take one month in advance as a new contract. Complained to @virginmedia nothing done

@virginmedia Wired. The issue isn't with my side of the network. It appears to be on the virgin side based on the router logs.

Virgin media service - connection goes down with 24 hours & no help from technical services, just reading from a script & no escalation. Giving up after a year of unacceptable service. Lovely and polite on social media, impossible once a customer #virginmedia

@virginmedia Check the complaint? I’ve been told contradictory things from the complaints team and have been told on five separate calls with the call centre that it will be sorted, and it never is.

@virginmedia State of tweets to VM from fed up customers. Utter shambles. VM can't be bothered to help or contact me, let's see how quickly they make contact when I dont pay my bill. Not paying for a service I'm not receiving. SORT IT OUT

@virginmedia hi there I’ve now waited a total of 2 hours to speak to your customer service team. Not acceptable. Been cut off 3 times trying to speak to someone. Is this because I’m trying to change provider? What would you recommend to speak to someone ?
-
Matt D
(@Matt_RuggD) reported
@virginmedia Unfortunately the issues are continuous. You have an entire postcode of angry customers, having all received the same email. It would be lovely to call from a VM landline, except its connected to the internet, and so rarely works. £25 extra for nothing. DISGRACEFUL.

@MoneySavingExp tried Haggling with virgin media about getting better deal even said would cancel then come back as new customer they said I'd have to wait for 2 months after cancelling to be classed as a new customer. Can they do that?

@virginmedia been on the phone for over an hour. Disconnected again during call. Since the 12th August I have been trying to get my new contract organised. Its still not. Unbelievably bad customer service again.
