    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

  • Uitlander
    🕷️🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Uitlander (@Uitlander) reported

    @virginmedia - They need to talk to someone about my account options. They will call me back "later". - They hang up while I am pleading with them to stay on the line.

  • NothingLane
    Richard Bignell (@NothingLane) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Nope, but much the same story. Dumped useless Virgin years ago. Now with @zeninternet. Once you start a contract, the price NEVER increases. They're a UK company, so absolutely no overseas call centres and the tech service has been first class.

  • DjClaireb
    Claire Branscombe (@DjClaireb) reported

    @virginmedia any reason why we have constant buffering issues on all HD channels at all? Primarily sky sports and More 4. Have checked our status and all good. Unable to watch the Hundred ticket today as it freezes

  • je_durrant
    James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported

    I’ve had it with @virginmedia No service since 10 Jul and it won’t be fixed until 17 Aug. They can’t give me a 5G modem despite being joined with O2 and say I should be happy with the £10 p/d Ofcom comp; that doesn’t help me do work. £800 to cancel my contract, it’s a racket

  • HoMcArdle
    Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported

    Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.
