@virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

@virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

@virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

@virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

@virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

@virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

@virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

@virginmedia Which one is it? Spoken to customer services today... said they would credit my account but not my grandads. Was promised a call back in 24 hours at 12.30 yesterday still waiting. Promised a call new years. Still waiting. Not good enough

@virginmedia your service is SHOCKING! How can we WFH when internet is so unreliable and we can’t even get hold of your customer services...?!

@virginmedia Yes & all is fine in my area! Yet still xbox is fine as it updating a game via ethernet but phone gas no WIFi service

Matt Phelps
(@ThatPhelpsDude) reported
@virginmedia All that happens is that I explain over and over again the situation - I’m promised the code will be emailed within 48 hours, or I’ll get a call within 72 hours. Then nothing. Maybe I’ll just cancel my direct debit until it’s sorted - for breach of contract on your part.

@virginmedia My dad is 94 and gets quite easily stressed so i’d like to handle for him if possible. I do have P of Attorney for them. I trued your call centre. The person i spoke to was happy to offer a discount to me on their behalf but not to just cancel. If i stop the DD would that be ok?

@virginmedia Hi, yeah sure. I have had issues with the internet about a month or 2 now. At first I was just resetting the router and it would work again.. in the last 3 weeks it keeps going off and won’t turn on for about 5-20 minutes. I called up and was advised to upgrade my package to see

@virginmedia The outcome of the call was what I wanted. I mean your pour service telling people to sit online for 4 hours waiting for someone to talk to me rather than call your call centres. If I'd called up straight away I'd not have needed to tweet you. You didn't even tweet back quickly.

I'm curious, who are the best internet service providers in the UK right now? I can tell you who isn't! Virgin media. For years we had two internets running and their one turned borderline useless

@virginmedia are mugging it, bad internet, overcharging me £40 a month and not picking up the lines or responding to online chat. Stay away...

@virginmedia I have registered on this service and been told I will get a call within 4 hours. They said this last time and I never got a call back so 🤞
