Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England
Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?
-
Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England
@virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

Andy A. (@andypne3) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England
@virginmedia @Sedds_lep You are not missing much Sedds. If it wasn't for woodman we would be 4 down.

Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England
@virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

Jordan (@JordanKing1512) reported from South Shore, England
@virginmedia Spoken with plasterer and to fix the K Rend £2000, they need to redo the full front of my house for it to match!!! I need this sorting urgently and need to speak with someone who can assist with this, it’s beyond a joke.

Chris Webb (@ChrisPWebb) reported from Blackpool, England
@virginmedia It says no issues but it keeps cutting out 2/3 times a day.

Tᴏᴍᴍʏ Nᴇʟsᴏɴ (@furburger12) reported from South Shore, England
@virginmedia KEEP GIVING ME INTERMITTENT SIGNAL AND ILL START INTERMITTENTLY PAYING MY BILL, this is a ******* joke man 😭
-
owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England
@virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.
-
Jordan (@JordanKing1512) reported from South Shore, England
@virginmedia I have contacted and was told I will get a text after the phone call with another engineer visit, not got anything yet??? Also who is going to pay for the damage and a plasterer to come round and fix? Honestly wish I stuck with @SkyUK at this rate

Philip Thompson 🏴🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️🌈🌍 (@PhilT81) reported
Every single time I contact @virginmedia via their WhatsApp support portal they tell me they’re ‘busier than expected’ and then suggest that I transfer the enquiry over to WhatsApp. 1) If it’s every time, it’s not unexpected. 2) I’m already using WhatsApp.

Mike O'Brien🏴💙 #WalesCarersRegister (@Mikeo56977865) reported
@Carer49 @virginmedia Didn't even need to speak with anyone. Just chose the option to change/cancel plan and automatically got offered the discount.
-
Claire Macina (@claire_macina) reported
@FundilyMundelly @virginmedia Leave while you can. Absolutely the worst customer service ever. I will never return go to @bt_uk they are much better and cheaper
-
William Croome (@RoomeByTheSea) reported
@virginmedia To sit on the phone for 3 hours + without any idea of I'm progressing in a queue. No thanks. VM can just compensate me for every day they are unable to support me through the communication channels they offer.
-
hog (@hogmaster2020) reported
@virginmedia Your upgrades team who answer almost straight away also sales have the ability to cancel people's contract clearly mentioned But they still mostly refuse to cancel and send you through to cancellation who don't answer and cut people off More lies from virgin Explain that
-
Shak Inayat (@ShakInayat) reported
On hold for 23 mins and still not through to @virginmedia and that is the ONLY way to downgrade a package it seems. Shocking service !
-
Richard Gosler (@richard_gosler) reported
@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Without a doubt, the worst customer service on the planet. The actual broadband is fine until you have a problem.
-
Corine Kuijpers (@tantePip) reported
Trying to cancel @virginmedia, and the computer (!!) offered me a discount of exactly the same amount as the price increase. Nice try. Still cancelling. Same package is £30 a month cheaper elsewhere.
-
Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported
@virginmedia To be 100% clear, the hub 4 had power instantly. Lights pulsing. The issue is that it took so long to be ready to *use*. That doesn’t strike me as an issue with my power socket what so ever.
-
Kurt (@kurt_wh) reported
Hey @virginmedia . My #broadband package is over priced with a woeful upload speed. I’ve decided to cancel. The only way to cancel is to write to you or phone you. I’ve waited on the phone for 1.5 hours and each time you answer you hang up. I’m very unhappy. #fail
