@virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

@virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

@virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

@scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

@virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

@virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

@virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

@virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

@virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’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 won’t be sent until I send this

@virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

@virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

@virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

@virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

@virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

@virginmedia Sale for everyone else. But for someone already a customer with you, we get an email telling us of a price hike? Interesting... but don't worry, the moment I can get out of this contract, I'll be making my way back to @skytv who we never once had an issue with in 5 years.

@virginmedia We have had a call with a someone from a tech support team who said we will send you and router and cables. We only got the router and no cables and the router doesn’t work!! I now have to wait till next Wednesday for a engineer!

@virginmedia employing the 'keep them on hold' tactic when a customer is trying to cancel their contract. Hour and a half so far. What is it £70 for new customers and £145 for existing? Plenty of competitors out there. Dooesnt seem like the best business to me.

heads up, @bt_uk isn’t doing any fibre installations during lockdown but forgetting to tell customers. I’m leaving @virginmedia because of terrible customer service, so not a great start. 😬

@virginmedia I just spent one and a half hours on the phone to Virgin Media help desk , I was put on hold for the technical dept, while holding I was cut off . I’m trying to solve a problem you created and suffering for it. It’s not acceptable

@virginmedia But the prices are automatically risen after finishing the contract anyway, then when trying to renew, with the counteroffer, you never keep the same price, it’s always more than before...

@DavidFe94748244 @chrishallrides @virginmedia Some may say it's a cartel! Of it wasn't for the internet I would not be with sky - once I'm out of contract I will be looking for a ISP service only.
