    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

    @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.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia That's bad. When my dad died, a company who's bill didn't get paid even offered to be executor's in his estate?

  • SharonHerbert
    Sharon (@SharonHerbert) reported

    @GeoffJonners @virginmedia They did this to us - went from £124 to £211 so we did the switching service with Sky. Virgin then called to offer us the same package for £74. Too late I’m afraid! 👋

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia contact the ombudsman directly virgin media is useless they signed us up for their stay connected service w/o telling us and kept sending us bills when we didn't even have their equipment basically the ombudsman is the best way to get them to stop harassing you for money

    Gerwyn Holmes (@GerwynHolmes) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia It’s all about the money they make on people who can’t be bothered to switch. Dreadful way to treat loyal customers.
