@virginmedia WiFi is down in the London SE7 area yet again - that's the 3rd time this month. What's the 'engineering fault' this time, eh? Is it incompetance, apathy or a combination of the two? When will my service be resumed???

@virginmedia Absoutley disgusting customer service today, was sent round the same bot telling me to do the same things for half an hour before getting to a chat where the helper decided to take their lunch break in the middle of it and expected me to wait!!

Hey @virginmedia when will you be upgrading the #VirginMediaConnect App to be compatible with your #Hub4 routers ? They’ve been out at least a year now and I can no longer manage my network through the app.

@virginmedia, when I call to terminate, and I'm informed that I could have been paying 26 quid a month less for the same package, the knowledge that my current rate is a con makes me less likely to stay

@virginmedia broadband service in Greenwich London is shocking, hasn't been working for 1 week now and when I've rang customer services multiple times, all they try to do is up-sell me on their other more expensive packages. Terror to think we pay for this service!!!!

@JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

@virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

@virginmedia Well…either an early cancellation or resolve the issue that I am having at your expense and not mine :)

Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

@virginmedia FYI - the service status on your website/app says there is no broadband issues, but when I go onto troubleshooting with intermittent WiFi, it says there’s a big problem in my area. Not overly helpful, have been trying for a couple of hrs to fix ourselves 🙄

@virginmedia I can confirm this is the case and an advisor in your Fault department confirmed it and said it was known and is currently been addressed in house. Your engineer also told us that this is common in most of his call outs where low speed is a problem.

@virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

(@Pigott93) reported
@virginmedia your customer service is a joke, i was on hold for 40 minutes before any answer talked to someone for about 2 minutes before being passed through to the cancellation team. Another 40 minutes of holding and I just got hung up on!

@virginmedia I have indeed, I’ve tried everything humanly possible!!. I can see some of the problems!. You have supplied me with an inferior coaxial cable!!. This affecting the signal strength for the router to distribute!!. Have a look at my screen shots I’ve provided! This is not acceptable

@supercarrambler @virginmedia This is pretty much where I am, been a customer for years but obviously best for them if existing loyal customers leave and they continually chase new transient customers
