@virginmedia @52marathonman Now have to wait until 19th July, absolute rubbish, apparently they had no contact details for me, yet had sent me 17 emails and a similar number of texts! Appalling service, so much for being new business!

1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

@virginmedia I have it for years and was told it was quite old by techies improving my signal around the house (AMPLIFI ) But if there isn't anything else, so be it. Many thanks .

@virginmedia how can you charge a disconnection fee for a service I never renewed and disconnected the day my contract ended? Absolutely ridiculous and I'm still being charged for the contract I never renewed!

@virginmedia problems again, on/off WiFi for 2 days now. Can't work and gather it will be fixed by 6 tonight. Can you verify! Postcode BN2 8AE. Not good enough - do we get a rebate for 2 days of lost work?

@virginmedia @52marathonman They are useless, had an installation due on Wednesday of this week, they emailed me Wednesday morning to say they couldn’t instal as they had been unable to gain access on Monday. Never did they mention needing access on Monday, and I was home all day and no one rang bell!!

@virginmedia Yes it says there is a known fault which has been going on since Friday at 7pm. No further explanation and the estimate fix just keeps resetting. It is absolutely unacceptable.

@brooktop68 @virginmedia @bridgetmck We’ve turned the Superhub to Modem Mode and picked up separate WiFi routers. Resolved most of our issues immediately and we rarely get drop outs. Invest in a decent router or Mesh, you won’t regret it.

@virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

@virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

@virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

@virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

@virginmedia Absolute rubbish. I pay a premium for super fast broadband and it buffers during Streaming plus I've had no internet or phone line all day YET AGAIN. #internet #broadband #poor service

Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

@virginmedia - Disappointed (understatement) with your service. Nearly 2 weeks and you can’t even get the correct engineers out! Not even a follow up call. I’ve called numerous times without an explanation. VERY POOR SERVICE. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

@virginmedia hi, are there broadband issues in SW12 9LL? Checked online and it said it’s only TV issues but our wifi is completely down. Same coloured lights on our Hub as we had when the broadband went down in our area last time!

@virginmedia Is there an issue with your website. I’ve ended up paying the same bill twice as it wasn’t showing as paid. Realised it had been paid after checking my bank.

@virginmedia We had zero notice. None at all. Only found out it was "planned" by calling the helpline, which then cut me off after it cheerfully informed me there would be disruptive service today. I could have gone into the office had I had any warning at all.

@virginmedia internet gone down, tried resetting box. Just seen it’s across a lot of areas so obviously some kind of service issue. At home with baby all day, no Netflix is no fun 😣

@virginmedia I have rang you 5 times this morning and you hang up after refusing to put us through to a manager. What am I supposed to do and what are you hiding?

@virginmedia how long does it take to respond to a call, I can't understand how hard is it to resolve the problem with installation for 3 months now. I have to say the worst possible ISP and customer support. Communications are ZERO on delays and issues.

@virginmedia I’ve tried pre install team, I’ve asked for a manager for the past 10 calls but have never been put through to one or ever been called back
