@virginmedia No, no, no. Just got an official letter saying I can leave without notice, so for a long standing customer (about 10yrs?) to be told that without any kind of solution, alternatives no offer of a refund, then to see an advert saying you can offer double I’m getting in my area? WTF

@virginmedia Ok so the estimated time of 20:30 fix this evening has been changed to noon tomorrow. How do I claim compensation as I’ve had nothing for a whole day and no one has attempted to fix it despite acknowledging whole area fault.

@virginmedia To clarify : I am still waiting two weeks after the date YOU @virginmedia said you’d call me back. I’ve received another bill for almost twice what I agreed to. And my online message & complaint have been ignored. Shall I try @Ofcom next? Thanks.

@Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

@virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. I spoke to Ezra on your team who was brilliant in fairness. Very apologetic about the level of service and now looks like we need planning permission to dig up the road to fix the cable.🥴 Thanks for your responses and happy new year!

Does anyone know of a service worse than @virginmedia? Our home phone went down 5 weeks ago and we were promised an engineer in 10 days, yet still no one has come. I have tried ringing the customer help number a number of times but after about 1 hour 15 mins it rings off. Help!

@virginmedia All seems slow for a 500mb services you did a 30 day test and sent me a letter and you agreed it was not up to speed. All WiFi is slow even with the new router. I read online a lot of people saying your router are not good compared to others I have a apple time machine I can use?

@virginmedia Are you able to remove all registered devices from my Virgin TV Go account? Searching online it looks like there is a bug on the system, which requires Virgin Support to remove the devices.

@virginmedia I would like @virginmedia to return the call they promised over a week ago addressing the fact I agreed to pay £28/month and then got charged £46/month. Are you still listening to the tapes?! My email and complaint also ignored. 😡

@virginmedia please can you share an email address for complaints. I have not had my issues resolved and there is only a postal address. (Which I assume isn’t monitored due to Covid) I am also sending the same complaint to Ofcom and CISAS.

@virginmedia Thank you for your reply. We had a technician out over 5 weeks ago to check the landline. He told us the cable in the road was damaged and it would take 10 days to fix. That was nearly 6 weeks ago and we have heard nothing since and can’t get through to your customer services.

@longbangers @virginmedia Can’t believe how shoddy they are. Spoken to five different people about the same problem, no joined-up writing to note what’s been discussed previously so I’ve had to explain it each time, switch off and on etc, etc. Being shunted from pillar to post

@bobbeech @virginmedia Yup. I tinker with my package to keep costs down and they just keep increasing the charges. Yet they offer new customers silly prices.

@EE are there problems in South Wales please. My mobile phone is suddenly telling me there is no network available and it won’t connect to my @virginmedia broadband either so I can’t call, text or do anything. I have raised a call on your website using my iPad.

Avoid @virginmedia like the plague. Disgusting, shoddy, amateur service. A week after the contract was cancelled, the virgin media box was installed outside my house by a bunch of what could only be described as cowboys.
