@virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

@EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

@virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

@virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

@virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

@EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well, I’m getting nowhere fast, Twitter reply said they could help, but haven’t. Just gave me a no to text to, which won’t accept texts, and a no to ring that I already had. Rung again to no avail. Can’t answer anything about my overdue refund, disgraceful!!

@virginmedia Not really as THERE IS NO COVERAGE so how exactly do I make a call? Surely you can look and see what the problem is based on postcode and tell us what is going on?

(@SaucyChp) reported
@virginmedia That’s what is so frustrating, nothing ever comes up in your system and yet our service is unreliable. Whenever we run tests via MyVirgin it doesn’t flag anything either.

@VirginMediaCorp @vmbusiness What connectivity I have none now for more than 7 days. Is this tweet a joke. Your engineers are down the pub watch football when they should be out fixing our broadband services

@virginmedia Your cust services just say “we can see there is an outage and our engineers are working to fix it”. My point is this has happened five days over a two week period so it’s obviously not being fixed. Is there actually anyone who can tell me what is going on as you CS team can’t ?

Hi I recently gave 30 days notice to terminate my broadband contract with @virginmedia as although I was reasonably happy with the connection, every time I needed to phone customer service it was a nightmare. If I was to stay what are my options?
