As my @virginmedia bill is now creeping up towads 130pcm I called to cancel or negotiate. A small discount was offered. I was surprised how little effort was made to retain a customer. (‘OK, thank you for calling’). So I’ll have to switch.

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that. But after signing up to SMS updates four times via two methods, I’d expect to at least be receiving texts telling me that the fix times have been pushed back.

@virginmedia Both wired and not, advised to turn off and back on, diagnostics checked at your end, engineer visit, resulted in all new v6 boxes (x2) and a new internet hub also internal wiring checked and re-connected. Issue seemed to be resolved for a while but after then goes off altogether

@virginmedia I tried texting that number and got no answer. I just tried calling the helpline, was on hold for about 20 minutes, was asked for all my contact details and then your operator told me her system is down and I should call back in 2 hours!!

@virginmedia new broadband routers now working, speeds dropped massively when I can get internet, tried for 14 minutes to get through to your customer service (being charged thanks for that) and can’t get access to my account as your team registered my email address wrong. Help!

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that issues happen, but it would be nice to know more than just “we’re currently having issues”. If someone told me “a bolt of lightning from that thunderstorm you had hit the cabinet and fried it” or something, we’d probably be a lot more understanding.

@emmah1188 @virginmedia Completely incompetent. Customer service is unacceptable. Unable to give a ‘goodwill gesture’ as we’re not account holders despite having an account number, set up a direct debit and signing a contract.

@virginmedia No, I didn’t get any estimates. Just a generic “we’re sorry you’re still having issues, our engineers are currently working on it but it’s taking longer than expected” (something along those lines at least).

@virginmedia Our internet has been down completely since early this morning (not intermittently like the automated message is suggesting) and I still don’t know if it’s a problem in the area, or just our own property.

It is beginning to look like @virginmedia have fraudulently sold us a package that was not available to me due to the many reasons that your various customer service team members mentioned before they hung up by putting me on “hold” and made me ring back...

never normally tweet about this stuff but can’t let this one go. just had the absolute worst customer service experience with @virginmedia. horrendously snappy, rude, and impatient (even sighed at having to deal with our problem!)

@virginmedia Keep having problems where, every few days or so, the booster loses connectivity with the base unit, resulting in it outputting no internet connection. On top of that, the speeds are less than half that of the main router (350 - 500 Mbps on our Hub vs 150 Mbps from booster)

@virginmedia It’s been going on for months, I have had all new boxes and hub but it still goes down. I have been told to keep my local engineer up to date. There is nothing the help desk can do we have tried everything

@virginmedia I have 0.65 mb download speed. This is ridiculous. I’m having a lot of problems with your service. I was told if it dropped below 65mb I’m entitled to compensation. Can you please Dm me to resolve issue.

@virginmedia Poor latency so communication/online gaming is severely affected. Engineer came out to check levels which were fine. Everyone who has looked into it has admitted it looks like high traffic.

@virginmedia Another week has went past and the issue is still not fixed. Engineers now ignoring calls and they are the only ones who can fix. Utterly disgraceful

@virginmedia Happened again. Was told it was a signal issue and would be fixed. Clearly hasn't been. This is extremely poor service.

@virginmedia Possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with. Cut off twice. I only wanted to buy a new remote. Absolute shambles of a company. Disgraceful customer service.

@virginmedia Your broadband has been really bad for long time now. It says that what I have is good enough for multiple devices and streaming which is doesn't even allow now , just spinning can't watch anything. What is going on?

@virginmedia Have virgin media & couldn’t stream music for over an hour earlier because internet is so bad, worst service ever. Even got sent their booster, useless. If the signal is inconsistent a booster has nothing to boost. Worst company

@virginmedia The service is supposed to be back, what I don't get is why maintenance on the box on the street to improve my internet leaves me with none.
