  • ValAlker val alker (@ValAlker) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I just want a landline and broadband package without the TV - and maybe just Broadband - I want to see your prices and options - and decide - but it seems as an existing customer you don’t want to talk to me about options -

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want anything to do with you, I’m fed up talking to you about this. I called up a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a lady who told me there’s nothing to worry about, the system is updated and I won’t be charged. Yet I’ve just received a text. Beyond poor customer service.

  • DeeDeeBeccs Dionne Thompson (@DeeDeeBeccs) reported

    @virginmedia Your colleagues all seem to say didn't things and I'm unable to get resolution. I'm making a formal complaint to CISAS

  • GazzaWilliams Gareth Williams (@GazzaWilliams) reported

    Apologies for the following rant. **** Virgin Media I’ve paid £33 quid for broadband only for the last 2 years. I go out of contract 1 day and the price goes up to £48 I call up to try renew it for another year and the best they can get it down to is £43.

  • tgeducation Tony Gallagher (@tgeducation) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, and almost every time I have a problem the service check suggests everything is fine. The problem is occasions of intermittent connections. A week ago I did a factory reboot and it was fine for a while, then yesterday it became unstable again. Very, very frustrating.

  • CurfTheRed Mick (@CurfTheRed) reported

    @virginmedia How can I get to speak to a human? You broadband faults keeps sending a signal to my router and rebooting which suggest there's a fault but nothing changes. It immediately cuts me off rather than ask. If the issue is resolved.

  • miss_sprout Sandra Prout (@miss_sprout) reported

    @virginmedia Still very slow today, still dipping in and out. Frustrating!

  • FableandKing Fable&King Clothing (@FableandKing) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah it's down in the se26 area and is being worked on. But we've had to reschedule, calls and normal work days. We're now eating into our mobile data.

  • Leosoki El Cuñado (@Leosoki) reported

    @virginmedia Couple of hours on calls with 4 different people/depts (inc. retentions) last night, another this morning for more diagnostics, then retentions again, I finally have a new hub ordered. I'll be online eventually but the trouble/time to get there is unacceptable, to say the least.

  • annabel_leger Annabel (@annabel_leger) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've gone through this, the box will come on for 5 minutes or so and then will keep coming in and out, then doesn't work at all. It will work and then it won't etc.
