@virginmedia No, it’s very random. I was expecting an improvement when I upgraded speeds but it never did.

@virginmedia Forget it. Totally useless all round. Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. What’s the point having a social media team?!

@virginmedia Horrific broadband speeds, and even worse customer experience, being passed from pillar to post, continually repeating security questions, going through the story each time and being disconnected thrice in one day, without a single courtesy call back. No worries, BT’s gain

@virginmedia Sorry, I don’t have understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia I just never get anywhere, constantly going around in circles and no one seems capable or willing to help. The broadband kit provided isn’t fit for purpose considering how much I pay for it.

@virginmedia The text service is a bot so doesn’t understand what I want. I don’t understand how posting on a community forum will help me order wifi pods. I’ve posted but just get replies from other members. I want to be able to contact someone at Virgin not other customers.

@virginmedia I’ve re-run the tests and still recommending I get a booster but still no idea how I go about ordering one. Can someone help rather than me going around in circles again please?

@virginmedia The service keep cutting out. And having to reboot 3/4 times a week. If no one comes and fix the fault. I will cancel everything and go to the ombudsman to claim back all the money paid for a fully working service.

@virginmedia Took delivery of my new broadband hub (new customer) and I already want to cancel. Nothing works, customer service fobbed me off saying they’re going to send a signal to the hub, but nothing is happening. Terrible service.

@virginmedia Thanks. I think it would be fair to say I should be compensated part of my monthly fees hence it will take another week to resolve this issue.

@virginmedia Getting through to your technical team is a nightmare. They are never helpful and we had to wait over a year for a faulty hub to be replaced which they refused to send a engineer to look at. When the engineer came even he was shocked that your technical support team didn't help
