    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

    Anybody else's @virginmedia Box absolutely **** when changing channels just goes to a black screen or sound or vice versa?

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  • PunkBroadcaster ebs (@PunkBroadcaster) reported

    @virginmedia Hi guys, I can't seem to get through to you by phone or online chat. There's been a direct debit set up but the bank account name is wrong - I don't want a direct debit to begin with but I assume it's due to a new account? Please help so my payments go through!

    @virginmedia You can see from my previous tweets, internet is ridiculously slow. Even though I pay for fibre, drops out constantly and doesn’t reach all areas of my house. Enquired numerous times about whether you do boosters and have been ignored. Worst customer service I’ve ever had.
