    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  • RobinB1971 Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  • Stephen12857059 Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

    @virginmedia Nothing. Called back today, been on for over 1 hour and spoke to 4 different teams. My complaint was previously brushed under the rug. Today they have started it again but tbh I've had enough. Just let me walk please. I need internet to work.

  • ollygatorsmudge ollygator smudge Ailbhe Ni hEimhin (@ollygatorsmudge) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but I'm beyond that now. So angry with the attitude of the agent and the poor service. All I asked for was a small gesture. Now all I can think about is leaving. Am looking at other service providers. I was on an 18 month contract and I want out if it now, not Dec 23.

    Honestly @virginmedia are the worst company ever!! 3 install dates and the internet not installed!!

  • thebluemanc The Blue Manc (@thebluemanc) reported

    @virginmedia I would expect your team to be more aware of that then me. Another shortcoming from your customer service team not providing one I guess. Adds to the list of poor service already received @richardbranson come on man, I just want internet, why is it so hard to deal with your team

  • jasonjames056 jason james (@jasonjames056) reported

    @virginmedia Omfgg that's nearly as stressful as overseas, how difficult is it to put people on end of phone, damn bots, might as well go bash my head against a brick wall never known a company so hard to deal with

  • Sar27Robin Sarah Robinson (@Sar27Robin) reported

    @virginmedia Are we going to resolve the issues?

  • p4rag Parag (@p4rag) reported

    @virginmedia It's showing no issues at the moment. But my point is the service has been totally unreliable.. And there is no recourse for the customer! @bugbabe1976
