@virginmedia I did and they couldn’t do anything. I’m very disappointed that not even going just broadband could reduce anywhere near new customers. My car insurance has to match new customer deals. You should do the same.

Morning @virginmedia I know it's not your fault but communication is impossible so I have turned to Twitter for help. Have you any idea when @YodelOnline will get their act together as we have been wasting days off waiting for important packages from you?

@MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

@virginmedia Internet back up now. Don't have a problem with either maintenance or an unavoidable fault, I just wish you'd send out an SMS or something to inform customers of why, and for how long. Otherwise you get people just sat waiting and none the wiser.

@virginmedia Can your company please start putting out adequate information directly to your customers please, instead of assuming we should go looking for answers. Believe it or not people deal with the truth far better than these days would tell us. Why is the network failing?

@virginmedia Tried them all over 18 months. Short of moving the router, which imo will shift the issue from one room to another, there's not a lot else open to me according to your representatives. We work from home and my wife uses all her mobile data every month as a wifi hotspot

@virginmedia @richardbranson how bad are your installation teams in Blackpool! They can’t even put a cable in the ground in 6 weeks at my property, think somebody needs to check on your engineers to see what they do all day! #busydoingnothing #virginmedia #broadband 👎🤬

@virginmedia It’s been a tricky few days as I have been trying to run my media company. I phoned Virgin Media business both times was told it’s an outage. It seems to be working better than ever now, but hoping no more disruptions. Thank you for making contact with me

@virginmedia @Piethagoram How about maintaining free roaming charges then seeing as you've hiked the cost of using your service

Once again @virginmedia your internet connection drops as soon as we get bad weather. Lost count of the amount of times this has happened, and with the amount of money I pay you nothing happens to stop this happening again. Shocking service. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Once again @virginmedia internet down as soon as we get rain in our area. I need to keep a tally chart with how many times this has happened. Complete and utter shambles

@virginmedia very disappointed that being a customer for nearly 25 years doesn’t warrant any discount but being a new one did. Bye bye I’m off to @bt_uk

@Jack173_ @virginmedia The service has been truly awful for a week now Jack, you'll probably find it's nothing to do with your end. This is exactly what I'm talking about. If someone takes your road up, you get a notice. If Virgin fibre goes down or someone just pushes the wrong button, it's all meh

@virginmedia @Mikeper81999705 This is what I'm tweeting about. It's no information that the internet is down, I know my internet is down. Customers for some odd reason, might want to know why??

(@JamieFrodoMMA) reported
@virginmedia customer service is genuinely the worst I've ever interacted with. Your agents are condescending, unhelpful and generally full of sh*t. I've spent the past four weekends trying to complete my service change and have now been charged for a service I no longer have.

@virginmedia No fix time all engineers have left the area. Half our street have been left with no internet, phone and TV. Not the best way to start the weekend.

@virginmedia hello, twice now on a Friday at this time my router is failing to connect to the internet. The WiFi symbol is solid but the two connect buttons keep flashing and I cannot connect. GU111YX shows on the service status of your website as having no issues. Please help!

@virginmedia we have been without internet and telephone all day! We run a business and cannot do the postage for orders today! Please advise on the issue and when it will be resolved.

@virginmedia Yes I did lodge a complaint. I cannot understand why force customers to sign 2 contracts 1 with another company. This may effect credit scores for some 🙁. It’s not logical. Happy to speak to a manager.

@virginmedia Do you still have live chat available for customer service? I can’t find it anywhere on your website. I find it much more preferable than a telephone call.
