    When you cancel a direct debit pending an overpayment query, an extortionate figure is taken by them, you get charged £7.50 for late payment, you are on hold for 45 minutes and then they say the direct debit wasn’t cancelled 👀NEVER CHOOSE VIRGIN @virginmedia @SCOAF_UK

    @anthonyboutall @virginmedia If I were you I wouldn't even bother with this **** company their broadband is an absolute piss take

  • Ashley78224698 Ashley (@Ashley78224698) reported

    @virginmedia Hey guys, currently getting less than half of the advertised speed (much, much less!), getting super unstable ping (getting averages between 20-80ms, maximum upwards of 250ms), and getting disconnected intermittently. Can't get through to your phone support. Help!

  • timjrochester Tim Rochester (@timjrochester) reported

    @virginmedia From your customer service chat: “I'm afraid that as there is no option available to update the complaint from your end” So your previous public message was patently false…

  • KAsventure1 KA’s venture (@KAsventure1) reported

    @virginmedia They sadly are not helpful, I’m going to take it further and get a clause out of my contract as customer service is shocking (not you as you have been helpful)

  • nlmo3954 nlmo3954 (@nlmo3954) reported

    @TheSimonDodge @virginmedia I got that last year. And the solution was to get new hub. Issue gone. But it is appear agin. The green WiFi start flashing and the WiFi gone on all devices nonmater what. Cable and resting not helping. But the enthernet work so far fine.

  • cdexeastwood beasty easty (@cdexeastwood) reported

    @ShanahanMary @virginmedia Run while you still can. As I continue to spread the word of this horrible experience, I’m finding there are more and more customers like me who are victims to their outrageous charges

  • lauradocherty84 Laura Docherty (@lauradocherty84) reported

    @virginmedia what is wrong with your intelligent Wi-fi pods… as soon as I switch them on they instantly kill the network speeds 🤬 Your routers just don’t have the range to cover a house, but these mesh pods are a joke. I have x3 to try cover dead spots but they just don’t work

  • SusanHa85471577 Susan Harrison (@SusanHa85471577) reported

    @virginmedia There were no extra charges. There is nothing outstanding on my account. It is £0. The accounts paid up to date. The service is not suspended but the message still says your service is suspended because you are over your credit limit

  • Michael_Hartt Michael Hartt (@Michael_Hartt) reported
