The @virginmedia Hub 3 (and I understand the 4 is just as bad) is a shocking WiFi offering. Any more than 10-15 items on it (not a lot considering what homes have connected these days) and it drops WiFi often! Ethernet connected devices are fine, yes, but not a good look !!

5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

@virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

@virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

@virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

@virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

@virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.

(@EvansPaul41074) reported
@virginmedia Also, all your complaints team are bothered about is closing the ticket. Not actually resolving the underlying issues. You should only close a complaint once it is confirmed that the issue is resolved, e.g. when the money is paid.

@virginmedia Hi can you pay me back the £100 you overcharged me quicker. After multiple contacts about billing errors, i was promised a refund 10 days ago. I've just been told it wasn't processed and now I have to wait another 14 days. I have spent over 5 hours on the phone about these issues

@virginmedia @Ofcom , how is it OK for a major broadband provider to leave a customer with zero service for 10+ days and no real answers??

@virginmedia Day 10 without broadband, @virginmedia. No fix, no explanation, no timeline. This isn’t just poor service—it’s negligence! I’m reviewing my rights under consumer law & preparing a formal complaint. How can you sell a service you clearly can’t deliver?
