@virginmedia Would you tell me when they’re available? I pay for 500G but only get 30, even in the same room as router. Your CS Team are unobtainable, one hour on hold then cut off. Done all the trouble shooting steps!!

@virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

@virginmedia unreliable and utterly uncaring when it comes to customer service. Internet has been down and dodgy for 36 hours in Surrey. Pathetic. Can I have the money back please. Shame on you Virgin. Your service is not fit for purpose. Shane on you in these terrible times.

@virginmedia To just say "we are busy" on the 150 number and disconnect callers is utterly unacceptable. Then on 0345 it just drops you after 45 minutes of hold music. It is as if you are deliberately making it hard for us to cancel......

@virginmedia I am trying to contact your customer service team regarding #nuisancecalls plaguing my 84 yr old (isolating) Dad, all numbers online are unobtainable or recorded mssgs which cut off - im right in thinking you are a tele-communications provider aren't I ?

@virginmedia a conundrum. If I call your service centre to cancel my service I get routed to the website that doesn’t allow me to cancel or I get routed through to a team that don’t answer. Do I just cancel my direct debit? Then at least you’ll know I’m not longer your customer.

@Ofcom Hi just gone through the complaints procedure with virgin media but they said they are waiting for ofcom to give the result if the speed test you did (can provide in DM if you reply) they ate saying you have to dictate what compensation level I should receive? Can U help?

@TobySutton17 @SophieEB @virginmedia They are terrible! Loads of people see the high speed and go for it (like I did!) but the reality is very different. Avoid. 👍🏻

@virginmedia On the search where it tells you the complaint is open. It has the contact details for the customer at the bottom. My phone and email were there but now it’s just phone.

@virginmedia I’m unsure what people mean about my husband has cut the cable outside our house. We have no services I’m a key worker working from home and they send a very helpful engineer that cannot deal with the problem. Appalling service.

(@krishchau) reported
@virginmedia Hi we’ve just been called twice today by your team and both times when we asked for them to stop calling they automatically hung up. We also raised a complaint via your form a month ago and we haven’t heard anything. This is really unexceptable.

(@Makinov) reported
Stellar service from @virginmedia today who’s advice for our grossly intermittant broadband connection was that the issue must be with all of our devices and not the connection itself. Thankfully the contract is up soon, so feel free to share recommendations.

(@ashleighjay) reported
@virginmedia I have no idea if the complaint is still open because noone at virgin media responds to me! And I'm well aware I can see my bills on my online account, thats how I know prior to you taking the direct debit that you're going to take the wrong amount, tell you this and get ignored!

Joanna Hall
(@JoannaMarieHall) reported
I made the mistake of joining @VirginMedia after @BTGroup doubled their price overnight. WiFi is down until approximately 8pm! I’m having to use my phone as a hotspot. Why do we pay so much for expensive & unreliable broadband in the UK? I had faster, reliable service in Barbados

@virginmedia I have carried out all the troubleshoot checking that's why I had to phone you which I hate doing because it takes a good while to get through and then you don't get help why didn't she recall me as she did have my number?
