Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

@virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

@virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

@MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

Yeah great, I lose my TFT ranked after hard winning most of it because @virginmedia internet service goes down more consistently then most men.

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

@virginmedia can you please explain why once again my install date has been delayed?! As a new customer this is now getting beyond a joke and I’m seriously thinking of leaving before I’ve even started

@virginmedia The call centre say "we will call you back in two hours because the tool we need is not working" They don't call vbqck. One female operative was friendly, but after 45 minutes she, like Jomil before, said "we can't change the details" She passed my wife on to a male call handler

@virginmedia I expected that that’s exactly why you have a 2 star rating (poor) on Trustpilot. I am not wasting my time making anymore complaints to your incompetent staff thanks I will just let everyone on social media platforms hear how terrible you are

@virginmedia Yeah with huge respect this been going on for over a year. So I won’t hold my breath. Just do your job and fix it before someone gets hurt. As I’ve said previously. School nearby and there’s sharp edges on the cupboard. Only takes a kid to trip and get hurt.

(@OhThisBloodyPC) reported
@virginmedia We have tried to phone your call centre, and twice a man has hung up on when my wife tries to speak to him. It's her work broadband account so she has to place the order - but obviously there is a cultural difference and male callers have a problem with female callers.

@virginmedia Hi, as per my origi al tweet, I've been on a WhatsApp conversation with various people since 9am this morning. It's indicative of the state your customer service is in. All I'm asking is consideration of the fact I have been trying to close my account for days.

@virginmedia very bad experience with Virgin media. Residential team tells me something completely different to what the business time has told me . Please help 🤔

@virginmedia Here are some frequently asked questions missing from your automated service: Why do you outsource customer support to people who are, understandably, struggling to understand callers from a land 5000 miles away in a different time zone?

@virginmedia Virgin Media we had a new fibre line fitted on the 9th of march still hasn't been fixed. Got off the phone to customer service an hour ago told me there's nothing they can do. Said they can book another tech visit but nothing is getting sorted had 4 months of bad internet.

@virginmedia hi, please can you confirm if my contract has been cancelled. I never received a confirmation email and I don’t wanna call again as I’ve just spent £42.34 for 58 mintues of being passed from person to person.
