@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

@virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

@virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

@virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

@virginmedia Sorry but your customer service told me on Saturday when I had no tv for a planned 3 days I was entitled to compensation and a complaint was logged. You seem to think the fault has been resolved but it has not so I want it fixing. I am not at home and my partner has gone to bed

(@the5belovedones) reported
@virginmedia you have raised the cost of my bill despite my home router intermittently not working. I have called you many times to send me a replacement, but instead, you want an engineer to come to my house, which means I need to take time off work, which I cannot afford to do
-
Andrew James
(@AndyJ74551315) reported
@virginmedia I haven’t called as I’m not at home. The check status page told of a fault from Sat lunchtime with an estimated fix time of 13.55 today which became 6pm. At 6pm it declared no issues though I still had no tv. Internet was also off all day but came back at the estimated time
-
Andrew James
(@AndyJ74551315) reported
@virginmedia No I just want to report the fact that my television is still not working despite I’m assuming that you think someone has fixed it. So I want it still to be recorded as loss of service on the compensation claim and I want someone to fix it!

(@swingate79) reported
@virginmedia I have service, but poor signal. Hence the new cable due to be installed to replace existing one. Means I have mediocre WiFi service in the house, no multi room, no boosters etc. Being informed in this way is unacceptable. I have moved away from Sky but VM is not delivering

@virginmedia been trying to get through to cancel our broadband service for 2 hours 15 minutes, absolute madness. Someone finally picked up and I was then cut off.

@virginmedia So far you have sent me a link to communication channels that are ineffective. Why not an email address or a phone number that is quickly picked up by someone interested in solving my problem

@sniffpetrol @virginmedia I feel for the “real person” that has to pick up the pieces after an automated chat bot has infuriated every customer that they’re going to speak to.

@virginmedia It's working now. It's been bad all day as my WhatsApp stopped working in a call. I rang their mobile no instead. Hopefully it's a poor day. I do have some problems X I did chat about them when I decided to switch . Thank you for replying quickly though

@virginmedia My mother in law moved into a new house today & has no service despite texts saying her equipment has been delivered, it hasn’t. Can’t ring because automated bot wants to run checks & just hangs up because it can’t run the checks. How do you get to speak to someone?
