    Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

    @MrSajjadengland @Starlink Had Virgin media 350mbs phones and wireless cameras kept lagging for 3 years, so often using phone data because of it Now I have 200 Mbs plan and everything is working perfect no data issue or wife complaining about , nothing is lagging , I did run a stress test and all good

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    @UKDan86 @virginmedia I have read the T&Cs, Dan. Working from home isn't the basis of my complaint — paying for a broadband service that's been repeatedly intermittent for four weeks is. Virgin Media themselves acknowledge an ongoing fault. Whether I use my connection for work, Netflix or watching cat videos is irrelevant to expecting the service I'm paying for to actually work.

    Is your Internet down in Guisborough TS14? We are at a holiday home and the internet isn't working despite the white light being on. Can't use the checker like we would back home as we don't know the owners surname. Thanks @virginmedia

    @virginmedia shocking service !You want to change my elderly mother’s tv package which is far in excess of her needs and charge her extra for it. Fleecing oaps is not a good look after 20 years loyalty we will be cancelling.

  • LOCthedreamer2

    It's a scandal that these media companies spend your money in order to try and influence how you think. Virgin Media received 3 million euro worth of state grants from Coimisiún na Meain last year. They would never think of doing a documentary on how immigration has negatively impacted the economy or society, which is why it is so galling to see them propagandise the immigration scam in Ireland. #HowIrelandWorks

    @virginmedia so your customer services promised that the broadband would be working by the end of the day…… it isn’t so more lies. Tv now apparently not going to work till tomorrow. Half expected as engineers went home around 18.00 leaving it broken
