    @virginmedia A number of times. But letโ€™s be honest, theyโ€™re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they canโ€™t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

    @virginmedia Your link says it canโ€™t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if itโ€™s being investigated? Whatโ€™s the eta? Thanks.

    @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

    @virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldnโ€™t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone wonโ€™t be sent until I send this

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as Iโ€™ve had one within six months I canโ€™t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They're the kind of company who are all nice when things go their way When there's a problem, or you leave them, they become piss poor, ignorant and hostile After all our issues, they often send salesmen to our door asking for is to switch I usually threaten them with violence

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Had a similar issue with EE/BT. Sent the faulty router back but they argued I never sent it backโ€ฆ continued to charge me for over 6 months. After complaining they opened an investigation, admitted they lost it and they did eventually send me a cheque for ยฃ400 ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    John Malcolm (@johnmalcolm1970) reported

    @virginmedia WTF is up with your service lately in PA1? I've logged 309 disconnections in the past week (101 of those in the past day - 439 in month). All I get from your service status page is "Intermittent signal in your area". Is it the weather? Do I need a new hub?

  • RednalNut
    RednalNut (@RednalNut) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia If you have a good mobile signal consider a LTE router & buy a unlimited Data Sim. I left Virgin after 23 years for similar reasons as above. With EE & happy with the service.
