@virginmedia maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

@virginmedia I have reported it at about 11.45 this morning. Wasn't given a fault reference, told a ticket had been raised and I would get a message to my mobile from field support engineers but it might be days before anything can be done. Heard nothing yet. Also raised a complaint as this..

@virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

@virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

@virginmedia is a case of complete incompetence by your engineers. Complaint reference is COM103375838. Have had no contact. What you can do is find out why a manager authorised a live cable being cut and get the engineers back to reinstate my service.

@virginmedia It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

@virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

@virginmedia Nothing about Wi-Fi on the service page but by looking at the other 1000s of tweets from people with the same exact issue I’m clearly not going to get a solution anytime soon

@virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

@virginmedia SMS sent. If you think a replacement SIM will solve the issue then yes please do send one. Thank you

@virginmedia Unbelievably poor service! My broadband and phone line cut off by your contractors without so much as a basic check that the cable was providing service. Now got to wait days for service to be restored.

@danhounslow @virginmedia They are bull shit! I sit next to the router and sometimes have to take my phone off WiFi so things load.

@Bluhawk1875 @vmbusiness Hope not! Maddening thing is they were working next door to tidy up the awful cabling job they'd done when they replaced our cable, the guy rang his boss about what to do with the badly installed cable and was just told to cut it! No check to see if it was live!!!

@virginmedia It is a media issue, I sent off the documents over a month ago confirming new account holder , no reply or confirmation this has been actioned at all. Weeks on end trying to sort one issue that should be easy is unacceptable

@virginmedia you should be ashamed of your ridiculous blocking outgoing calls policy. My 86 year old dad is alone at home and unable to call anyone while we wait for you to post a security word. Very poor #CustomerService #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia I’m hoping that an engineer maybe able to come out and look at the issue for me. Are you able to assist facilitating that at all?

@jerryaldrichiii I'm pretty sure @virginmedia does the same (or at least did in 2021) where they ask for the first few characters of your password to verify your identity if you call a service helpline.

the grass is not always greener. day 4 of @bt_uk internet and it’s died. trouble shooter when you login is a loop of the same question over and over. terrible experience so far. @virginmedia all is forgiven ps the box on the wall is literally screaming like an injured animal.

@virginmedia No I’m not calling again. I’ve spent over 12 hours on the phone to you trying to sort this out. Your customer service needs to do what they say and call back.

@virginmedia I've got a bone to pick with you. We got a new box a while ago, and it's randomly wiping the recorded shows. Not one at a time, all at once. We've been in touch with customer services loads of times, but they all just took us through the same pointless (1)

I’m trying to cancel my virgin internet due to terrible connection. The customer service person trying to convince me to stay, had such bad connection they had to rearrange the call…oh the irony! #virginmedia

@virginmedia the broadband problems we have been experiencing in the last few days are ridiculous. The constant drop outs are having an effect on home working for our family and having to reconnect the sky box all the time is a headache. When will this be fixed?
