@virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

@virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

@virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

@virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

@virginmedia I've done all that. It's been intermittent all day. I've reset. I've turned on and off. I've sat on hold. It's a ridiculous service

@virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.

@virginmedia only had internet installed last week. For about the 15th time it's dropped out. Fed up of sitting on phone on hold. Service update page says all ok. Clearly isn't

@virginmedia customer service is beyond shocking. Reps don’t listen, lie and refuse to help. Icing on the cake is my graduate daughter having £123.34 taken from her account DESPITE being told this would NOT happen. Going round in circles. No one ever phones back.

@virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

@virginmedia When I phoned and used the chat they said the same thing. We have already called many times so would prefer you to discuss with your team and arrange a callback by someone who can help.

@virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

@virginmedia They can see the network, connect, and advise me I have no Internet connection. The equivalent of getting in my car, and finding out it has no wheels.

@amyelizabxth_ Ye Virgin Media use old network cables preventing high upload speeds. Your upload should be way more than that should if your on 550mbs download per second. Should be at least 50mb upload.

(@Pat2253Bradley) reported
@virginmedia I was told to change my number!! Several times I have been it would be passed to your fraud department and on 2nd November, someone called Billy "guaranteed 100%" that he would fix the problem and a manager would call me within 48 hours to confirm. No-one called

Victor Smyth
(@VictorSmyth6) reported
@virginmedia Hi, it’s a new address and because Virgin can’t say whether it will be serviced they said we can’t cancel. Ridiculous, I’m emailing the CEO
