jesus christ talking to virgin media on the phone is ridiculous we rang to cancel, got hung up on 3 times, after 2 hours finally cancelled and after cancelling they’re trying to get us to sign up for phone contracts and sim cards! like we would want that after we just cancelled

@simonnread @virginmedia I'm having the same issue. For the period of lockdown I could broadly rely on the signal to my home office. The last 2/3 months I haven't and I am constantly having to tether my mobile at my expense. The router hasn't moved and neither has my office. The service has just worsened

@virginmedia Or you could invite your customers to get in touch when out of contract or you could even tell us what deals are on offer to help us stay. I suspect you don't because you realise that inertia effects are high when it comes to changing broadband packages.

@virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…

@PreetBharara @ZellaQuixote Around 2009 or 2010. I had a computer with a modem that could send faxes that was just about working, and I had to get @virginmedia to send an engineer out to fix my landline. The landline broke again a month or two later and hasn’t worked since, though they still bill me for it.

@virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

@Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

@virginmedia 24hours? I’ve spent 2 hours 40 minutes trying to sort it. Just to be passed around the WhatsApp system so I give up and you can keep collecting my money. I’ll just cancel my direct debit then someone will call no doubt!

@virginmedia @YASARATULHUSSAI Since the above date still no resolution just spent 57 minutes on call with 3 people who had no idea what they are doing and call cut off and no one called back

@TommyBarnett69 @virginmedia If your price is being adjusted mid-term, then you could potentially exit the contract right away without penalty as they have adjusted the terms of your contract…..your main obstacle here will be Virgin’s diabolical customer service

@virginmedia Well you’ve done nothing to disprove my original tweet that the customer service is ****

@virginmedia I have no devices to do this. Can an engineer please come out to resolve. Its crazy I'm paying g for a service which is faulty
-
please_shush
(@pleaseshush1) reported
@virginmedia Doesn’t that suggest you are not willing to compensate your customers unless they don’t have internet for more than 2 days from the point of complaint? So, it’s ok for your customers working from home to lose earnings because your service fails to deliver.

(@Random_Geek1020) reported
@virginmedia Hi, I have received a message to advise me that you will suspend my service in the next few days due to lack of payment. I just wondered if you could give me a little extra time to pay, as I'm planning on paying on Thursday (next week) when I get paid? Thank you

@virginmedia The engineer checked internal and external equipment and found a problem externally. This appointment was booked by us but there was a weeks wait before they came.

My goodness, I gave @virginmedia so many opportunities to resolve my issue with so much patience, yet they keep failing. Someone third party needs to investigate.
