@virginmedia What forums? I have a fault so phoned Virgin who ‘booked’ an engineer who never arrived. You then had no knowledge of an engineer. Explained the fault and call centre refused to send an engineer or replacement box. How is a forum supposed to help?

@virginmedia If an engine light comes on in your car but it still drives badly, do you ignore it? She even offered to send me a longer cable so I could move the box. For £99. For some coax cable! I don’t know why I bothered renewing my contract. Utter waste of time. Virgin sucks.

@virginmedia You couldn't make this incompetence up - had another call, chasing 2 mths costs for a phone not used in over 2 yrs, unable to cancel via website or previous Twitter conversation, and then cuts me off. It's a mthly sim only, if I don't use it don't charge me - simples.

@virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

After waiting in all afternoon and cancelling a social occasion and delivering a customer’s potting bench because the Virgin Media engineer was supposed to come between 1 and 6, surprise surprise, a no show. @virginmedia not impressed, it’s a good job I work from home 😡

@virginmedia hi - I have a sim only mobile contract that's not been used for at least 18mths. I've stopped the DD as I'm unable to simply cancel via website and the number quoted to call doesn't work. I've got nowhere to go with this problem now.

@virginmedia hi I am still waiting for your team to call me. I was on the phone a hour and 40 yesterday and now I have wasted more time. I am already unhappy that you have downgraded my services without speaking. Shocking service, where is best to complain about my time wasted

@virginmedia I have not been able to use my internet for the majority of our contract. I contacted you multiple times to be advised to pay an additional £5 per month for a better service to now find I am being charged £56?! I am in my cooling off period and i wish to CANCEL.

@virginmedia I have tried that text service for the last two days. ‘Terri BOT’ is no use. I need to speak to a real person . All that needs doing is the issue of a new bill without the £35 activation fee. This is becoming the worst decision I’ve ever made in relation to switching broadband

@virginmedia I had Virgin broadband installed yesterday but need a landline . Unable to get through to customer services. Should have been set up with the broadband . Engineer said I was miss sold the standalone package . Now I’m without a phone.

@Rapidolass @virginmedia I had to hang up after an hour because I was about to swear. I may as well listen to a voice synthesised repeated message. Not sorry, no problems and only wanted a £99 call out charge to check their equipment showing an error light. Wifi is painfully slow.

Quite an electrical storm here. The thunder is terrifying Becky and virgin media has just gone down. She’s pacing and panting furiously poor thing.

@virginmedia hi, my TiVo v6 remote has became laggy & slow to respond, I’ve put fresh batteries in this morning & just reset the v6 box via the settings menu but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks

@virginmedia I spoke to an advisor called Gillian from Sheffield and she escalated my numerous complaints on Saturday. Promised a manager call crack but I got nothing . It’s getting to the stage that the best course of action would be to cancel the lot but that won’t get my landline back

@virginmedia Can you confirm whether you are caching any Youtube content via your network? The most plausible explanation I can think of is that the Virgin network is preventing direct access to the source files, and the intermediary system isn't working properly.

@virginmedia // my credentials. But without her, you can’t do anything 🤔 I’ve reported the faulty router, I’ve told you explicitly that I WILL NOT engage with my ex. Yet your telephone persons tell me I have to…. You claim I have a mobile contract with you? I don’t, I never have//

@virginmedia A few times and had 3 engineers out. All advised the issue was sorted. Last engineer advised that we may have a problem with the upstream coming into the property.

@virginmedia , or any other excuse. Your hardware is the issue, it is literally the only thing causing fault.

@virginmedia I have no idea. You sent me an email to tell me the complaint was closed, even though you hadn’t spoken to me before closing it. I have given you the complaint number - please can you pass this on to the relevant team to contact me - as was promised by your call handler

@virginmedia Thread: you NEVER give me my own account details. I’ve repeatedly told you that the account was set up on my now exes email address. Without her, you won’t talk to me, but you have no problem taking £55 a month just for WiFi…… just WiFi! I’ve repeatedly asked you to update//

@virginmedia I have been told it’s a fault within the area although your apps say there is no fault. I was told it’s an external issue and the best estimate I was given was “could be up to a week but may be sooner”. It’s not good enough. Haven’t heard anything from Virgin since I called Fri.

@virginmedia Complaints were over the phone. I have recorded most of my conversations with your customer service as it is very bad. If you want me to write a legal letter I can got to my solicitor and write a legal letter to your legal department. This will invite cost to you
