Mike (@Mikefromtheuk) reported@Benleo @virginmedia They are truly terrible. If you simply want an internet connection and you don't have any problems, you might be okay, but as soon as anything goes wrong you hit their awful customer service. I had intermittent problems and it took months to get resolved, I then went to Sky asap.

Pirate (@pirate1100) reported@Benleo @virginmedia @virginmedia are terrible, I stopped the television & phone package years ago because of bad customer service. I only have the broadband now & although the broadband is really good the price is extortionate if you don’t keep signing up to a contract, so I’ll be cancelling that.
