@virginmedia Your web app says there is no problem, but your telephone diagnostic services says there is? Which is correct?

@virginmedia It’s intermittent. Not off often enough to be called no service or you’d have to pay us back for the lack of service but not on long enough to be much use.

@virginmedia Second day running, get to 4pm and the internet crashes ... Unfortunately I do not have the luxury to stop work and try to fix it

@virginmedia I do really get fed up with VirginMedias poor service and platitudes. The speed on my internet connection is down less than 56kb, but your Helpdesk technicians consider this to be a problem

@virginmedia Is it an instructional twitch of all customer service officers, to say "I am sorry ....", wouldn't it be better if your organisation actually did something about it? So it becomes the exception and is not the norm?

@virginmedia Hello! Do you have any update on the intermittency issues in LN5?

@virginmedia After an hour and ten minutes of appalling noise the woman who put us back on hold disconnected us. Five minutes into the new call and all we want to do now is cancel the contract that you’ve failed to provide.

@virginmedia Er no, if you had read the thread in its entirety, you will see that I said I was getting someone to look at how to organise the internal network on the house, and I would be leaving at the end of my contract, in 17 months. I would not recommend Virgins services to anyone.

So @virginmedia refused to let @SkyUK transfer our landline so now all services have been removed by SKY. How can people work from home when you give a fix date of 3 December - thus needs sorting now - no TV, no WiFi no phone

@virginmedia My Daught is having significant problems with her IPAD as result, and using her phones data (no we are not Virgin phones), which is costing her, when your network falters, I then switch to my NHS phone and use its data, and my simply uses her work phone ...both essential workers.

@virginmedia No. Trying to upgrade to a faster broadband-only plan. Chat can’t do it because cancelling the landline I don’t use is heretical. Fastest broadband speeds require me to take a SIM I don’t want or need. Online tries to push a TV service. No one listens. Customer fumes.

@virginmedia I do get fed up with @virginmedia platitudes and inability to solve why I have poor connections speed, down to 28kbs at the moment, but your Helpdesk, after I waited 45 minutes, do not consider this to be a problem. Try downloading a 100Mb spreadsheet at that speed.

@virginmedia This was 14 days ago (17/09/2020), and I cannot remember the website, and the network engineer advised (19/09/202) me it might 24 hours before it settled .... Since then it's been variable ....

@virginmedia @Sonos I don't want meaningless "Sorry for the poor service" what I want is it to be fixed, and fixed permanently, and to be supplied with what I am paying for, which is a stable 200Mbs service.

@virginmedia You can tell it's the weekend when your SONOS speaker is not able to stream radio on a consistent basis, due to intermittent internet problems, which I reported two weeks ago, got a visit on the following Wednesday, got told the installation was poor and left.

@virginmedia I’ve given up. You’ve failed yet again to provide what I we needed. I’m not surprised. Virgin Media is fast becoming synonymous with this lack of service. I do NOT recommend you to friends and family.

@virginmedia I didn’t know I could use the forums to terminate my contract.

@virginmedia If there is anything over the £7.50 monthly fee I will be sticking to my old slow TiVo so I am reminded when my contract is up to leave, after all that is what I was told by Meghana 12th September

@virginmedia Hi, the website sends me in vague, unhelpful circles when seeking chat contact info. I'm trying to find specifics about the network issue in our area since we've had intermittent issues with speed, packet loss, etc for a few months. Is there a direct link? Thank you.

@virginmedia is that normal to wait for installation of the service for 1.5 month and have your customer service disconnect on the line 3 times without ability to schedule pre installation appointment for a 3rd time?

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow I got @virginmedia down from £85 to £54 for broadband,phone and max it TV 💪🏽. Just need to speak to the right team, if you ask to reduce package it will cost more they will put discounts on

@virginmedia No I got told by one engineer that they need to put more trays in at the exchange but it’s expensive and no timeline on it. It’s been a year and a half now and the connections just terrible

@virginmedia Now it's back to emergency calls only. Think it could be my local mast. Had similiar last year when EE were doing work on it. Very frustrating as can't make calls and having to connect to WiFi. 3rd day of this now. Not good.
