@virginmedia 30 day cancellation is nearly up, just waiting on the returns packaging to arrive. But don’t see why I have to pay £150 for a service I’ve not been able to use for a month

@virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

@virginmedia Turns out your team didn’t cancel my package, like I wanted. Absolutely 🤬 joke.

@virginmedia It’s taken 4hrs to get your incompetent team to cancel the package properly. Now there is just the matter of the Overdue bill and the final bill.

@virginmedia I have been told that: “Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems.” What if I call and am on hold and miss an update on WhatsApp? Or email…

@nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

@virginmedia Is there a problem with your phone system? My Mum has been trying to call for 24 hours on numerous occasions to change package but gets cut off every single time. Your mentions suggest this is happening to lots of others too. Can somebody arrange a callback please?

@virginmedia I was heavily sold a renewal based on an engineer installing+configuring everything as we are meant to have the fastest Wi-Fi possible.I installed it and no sign of an engineer,no follow up from Virgin. As per usual.Was also sold some ‘VIP service’ line that’s never been shared!

Same old @virginhelp @virginmedia more important for them to send a driver to personally collect an old Virgin Hub than send the promised engineer to install the new one and optimise the Wi-Fi signal as had been sold to us. 🤷

@virginmedia not used my package for 4 weeks. You said you would send someone out to reconnect, which never happened, you keep passing me to different departments. you still have the cheek to send me a bill. Still waiting for the free return package to send your equipment back

@virginmedia My hub 4 has a flashing red light and states that No RF signal is found. What does this mean in English please? Keeps happening, no tv, broadband or phone.

@virginmedia You’ve just told me you can’t chat until 1.30 tomorrow. But I don’t need a chat. There’s nothing to discuss. You have shut down my services in error, and I need them restored. Hopefully before 5.30 when the people I need to speak to finish for the day.

@virginmedia I’ve explained my issue. I don’t see how being on a queue on the phone is going to be any improvement. I just don’t see it as acceptable that there is no customer support available online until tomorrow. It’s not like I have anything to discuss. I just want my services back on.

@virginmedia great customer service from your engineer Pete this morning. Polite, knew his stuff and a credit to your company. 10 out of 10. Would recommend yourselves.

@virginmedia I have an auditory processing disorder that can make dealing with things over the phone difficult. I am using your WhatsApp service as this was recommended to me by yourselves to avoid being ******* in long queues in the phone. I just want my services back on. That’s it.

@virginmedia This should have been simply and readily resolved, as soon as your error was brought to your attention. Just because I can’t afford to pay for the top tier of services doesn’t mean I don’t matter as a customer. A very long term, loyal customer, I would note.

@virginmedia Where is my payment for inconvenience, for stress and for lack of adequate customer support? I hope you will not be charging me for today, since you’ve provided me with nothing but stress. I am tired, I am ill and I am profoundly frustrated with this whole situation.

@virginmedia bn14 area. Is there a problem?

Marcus Patrick
(@marcuscpatrick) reported
@virginmedia I don't know if you are familiar with the concept of 'Treating the customer fairly'? It means helping a customer solve their problems, without putting obstacles in the way. Your customer service is the opposite: obstructive, uncooperative, unhelpful and not even vaguely fair.

Joe Benson
(@joe21benson) reported
@virginmedia this is now the fourth night in a row that I have been using your WhatsApp service and each night I have been told that I will be passed on to customer relations. yet to happen and I’ve had to go through the process each night. Any chance of someone speaking to me?

@virginmedia Any ETA on when the Connect app is going to be compatible with Hub4? Seems a bit overdue and I’ve had to purchase a 3rd party extender for my tiny 2-bedroom flat which I never needed to do with Hub3 since the app could tune it.

@virginmedia No idea. Daughter noticed Internet wasn't working and I thought it was just the usual signal outage. Checked the box and no lights / power! Then saw the burn mark.
-
Marcus Patrick
(@marcuscpatrick) reported
@virginmedia Not at all. I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone yesterday, to explain why I needed an engineer (it's weak signal from the box - as explained the last time the engineer supposedly fixed it). Instead, I was sent a text. I had to wait 24 hours to be told that yes I need an engineer

@virginmedia Calls and texts are no problem, it’s just using the Internet, no apps work and I can’t use a browser without WiFi. I have rebooted my device

@virginmedia could you please explain why you keep changing the service date and pushing back the installation every week??
