Anyone have constant issues with @virginmedia we pay for 200Mb super fast broadband. We are in Bromley. Over the last year we have had nothing but issues and no matter how many times we make contact we get fobbed off. We are paying for a service that cannot deliver. Anyone else?

I have noticed a lot of people complain about the service received from @virginmedia for broadband. @Ofcom please can you look into this? We pay for a service that has constantly let us down for many months.

@virginmedia Have you ever not been too busy? You have the worst customer service known to man. Every comedian compares bad customer service to you. You are the benchmark for bad. I have been trying to get in touch for five hours now. Chat, phone, Twitter and SMS.

@virginmedia Not very helpful. If your company can’t fix the issue, why would the community be able to? Spent another hour on the phone again today, again being told I will get a call back in 45 mins. It didn’t happen. Still no email!

@Del_101 Try a different device on that same port/cable. If issue stays, it’s not your virgin media box.

@virginmedia As we speak has gone off again. Is off more then it’s is on. You increase your prices for a service that great worse all the time

@Sneak_666 @virginmedia I’ll jump on this. Left virgin due to the prices going up and not needing the whole service now. The retention team called me and offered me exactly what I needed (broadband only m200) for £22. Vodafone had sold me 50-60mbps for £19 so thought it was a great deal.

@virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @Ofcom 40+ calls and still nothing. Signed up in October 2021, and it's nearly been nearly 6 months and no services have ever started. Have been requesting help on your customer service and they just keep making new excuses.
