    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

    @virginmedia Would rather you fixed the problem.

    @virginmedia I don’t appreciate being put on hold for 40 minutes being charged for my call, then just cut off with no explanation! Your service over the past few months has been terrible, having to reboot WiFi every day to get internet & my bill has yet again gone up! 😡

  • TheTestingMuse
    David Williams (@TheTestingMuse) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Having just looked at model photos it's the Hub 4 I have, set to Modem Mode. The connection drop problem is with the Hub itself (the solid white ring light then starts glowing to show it is "connecting"), so the connection drop affects both wired and wireless connections.

    @GolfGeek6 same with @virginmedia its on my list for weekend to try and contact them , I suspect in middle of night to stand any chance of getting through to either cancel or get £ help from them , only company not contacted me to date with a gesture .........says alot.

  • chinashouse
    John Bennett (@chinashouse) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Not being rude but I have explained it more than once to various people at Virgin media, who really can't come up with a solution and I feel that they're not really interested in doing so either, I feel as if I'm just another customer who is just not getting what I'm paying for😩

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Your agent told me 72hrs. But then I was also told if I post on the forum I will get support. But we can all see how that has panned out. Just. Fix. The. Problem. Why is this so difficult? I guess copy/paste apologies are just cheaper than dealing with the real issues.

    Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

  • JohnCservices
    John Cooper (@JohnCservices) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia I have an ongoing problem with my WiFi it drops out regularly. This week alone 55 times. I have been on the phone for over an hour trying to get to an engineer that doesn’t have to follow a routine script. I super frustrated. How do I get back to a reliable WiFi

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    Life as @virginmedia customer.

  • DrPEDavies
    Dr Patrick Davies (@DrPEDavies) reported from Folkestone, England

    Virgin Media Customer Care Complaints Services always fails to come up with solutions. Rather, they continually offer verbose replies referring Customers elsewhere with endless phone numbers. Their standard is totally below the expected minimum!

  • GillLeightonNHS
    Gill Leighton (@GillLeightonNHS) reported from Kennington, England

    Working from home over the past few days has been so tricky,our expensive M100 fibre broadband has been so slow that I had to resort to using my 4 G , tonight is 5 th evening in a row on hold for over an hour #virginmedia please can you help ? Important NHS meetings tomorrow !

    @virginmedia just when you really need Internet none! And fix time 16:00 today.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia No not aware of status line please advise. No interest in community support forum. This is an issue with your service and equipment. Needs proper support.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia December. Official complaint prior to that. Please read back through your thread, the broken promises and the lies then come back with a proposal to resolve.

  • CraigRyan1986
    Craig Ryan (@CraigRyan1986) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia I used to think using your broadband service was really good but to hear my mother in law has had no broadband for a month and it still isn’t sorted when they said it would be by 2pm today,I won’t be recommending you anymore #virginmedia #nobroadband #NeverAgain

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Last week after your call centre agent refused to escalate the 2months of issues highlighted in this thread.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Yes dropouts Ethernet and WiFi. To be clear that message was not our engineer. Just proof prob is beyond our home. That neighbourhood thread is 14 comments long! We’ve had 2 engineers out. Cable replaced and hub replaced. Problem persists. 4 dropouts this eve alone.

    @MartinSLewis Hi Martin. Are you aware of the scam between Virgin Media and 02? They hound you with calls, set you up as an existing VM customer, and then unknown to you, you have an 02 threatning letter asking for £30 a month. This was not agreed to or even known...help 🙏

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    @virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!

    @virginmedia Still not fixed! Yet more issues with Virgin! Only switched last year and never had as many issues with broadband and TV as we’ve had with @virginmedia ! Beware anyone thinking of switching!

    @virginmedia Hi my virgin tv hasn’t worked for 8 hours I’ve rung the number and it says it’s a fault at your end and you’ve got engineers on it. Can I suggest getting new engineers it’s still not working #refundplease

  • cyberbob1uk
    Cyberbob1uk (@cyberbob1uk) reported

    @virginmedia are you taking the proverbial? The broadband has been out more often than I have in the short time I've been with you. And now you aim to rectify the problem in 4 days time?
