@virginmedia I’d like to #stayconnected but you have not returned calls re slow speeds I’ve been getting since summer 20 but still charging me for, think after 12yrs as a customer you’d think you might want to keep me, if I don’t get a call BEFORE Mon I’ll cancel and start a new

@virginmedia Just rcvd text to say investigating network problem instead, so you've postponed visit. Your netwrk is great when working, but you really need to sort out Cust Srvc because it causes very damaging press on closed group social media. You need to "Think Customer's Perspective"!

@virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

@virginmedia Are you reading my tweets? It’s not a fault! You’ve run a 30 day test you are running far under the service I’m paying for, I was waiting for a call to discuss what VM are proposing or if I should leave!!!! @Ofcom

@virginmedia You did great in sorting out my internet issues quickly and sorting the right wires but you didn't have to sever my satellite dish cable... That needs replacing and splicing now....

@virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

@virginmedia I have done all that is requested and still not working so have been on hold for 53 mins for someone to put the phone down without even speaking to me yet again! What do you advise is the next step?

@virginmedia It came back as per Virgin's text then the Broadband fell over again Sat pm. Then became intermittent. Seems to be ok at the moment. Loads of problems since Christmas but no refunds. Its not good!

@virginmedia That’s my point I’ve been trying to sort this out but not getting the response of callback to decide what to do you guys also need to compensate for the service speed paid for not received! Back no ones calling me back...@Ofcom

@virginmedia Not only has TV, Broadband & Home Phone, ALL packed up, for ours & at least 20 other homes, but you've told me that it'll take at least 5 days 😳 to get a technician round to change my Hub (which isn't even the problem). 🙄

@virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

@virginmedia why is live chat taking absolutely ages to connect me to anyone? I’d like to cancel my service, but if I was joining as a new customer I’m put through immediately. Are you making it difficult to cancel on purpose?

@jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

@virginmedia Hmmm. No the test was done on Sept I ten got a letter about 2 months later which confirmed my suspicions of a slow service after a new router and CMP plugs I’ve been trying to discuss what’s next since then. Need that callback! @Ofcom

@Virginmedia When working your network is fantastic but when it fails you are disastrous! 😡 There are at least 20 houses near me with the same problem and you are telling us all that our Hubs are faulty. Hasn't it occurred to you that we probably have a serious network problem?

@virginmedia hello? Anybody home? Still waiting 4 my callback which should’ve had a week ago to tell me what you’re doing about charging me 💰💵💸 for at least 4 months for service I wasn’t getting! Tried calling can’t even get on a waiting / hold line... need to know so I can🚪

@virginmedia No. That's the earliest they can come. But, the real problem isn't the router. The network's been flakey since Christmas, (couldn't watch your UHD channels) & worse this last week until today when it all completely fell over.

@virginmedia I still can't log in to my account despite being promised a call back from IT support after a 'ticket' was raised 2 MONTHS AGO. I'm at the end of my contract and need to leave Virgin for a more reliable broadband provider. Sort it out

@ShogunAsh @virginmedia They quoted me an offer and it seems 300mbps is the default offer. Soon as the footy season is on break I’m moving suppliers. Their service isn’t even good enough anymore. Smh

Susannah Whitten
(@Suse12345) reported
@virginmedia There are no reported issues. We have called every day, always on hold for 45 mins to get through to someone, or otherwise just faced with an automated message. The technicians are always excellent when they come but this is a terrible customer experience in every other way
-

(@OpticalFusion) reported
@virginmedia I've had 6 engineers to my property to resolve a connection issue. And had the worst experience with your customer service teams. I am left with option but to go to the telecommunications ombudsman as your company fails to recognise the service has been inadequate.

(@hsf24) reported
@virginmedia Yes I have done all that. And as a result of that not working an engineer attended my property and said I need two Wi-Fi pods. I think it’s unreasonable to expect me to pay another £7.99 a month because what’s provided isn’t fit for purpose

(@Demzzz__) reported
@virginmedia been trying to contact you for an hour about my bill and you just keep cutting the call off and apparently not something live chat can help with. Getting frustrated now and if I don’t contact you, you’ll restrict my services which will be your own fault!!

@virginmedia No dial tone, can't call in or out. Nothing on area faults. And no apparent way of getting Virgin to fix it ...

@BCraik @virginmedia I've asked them "If this was a planned outage, how long ago was it planned and why did you not let me know?" A communications company that doesn't communicate
