  • siomhaithmhic Irene Megaw (@siomhaithmhic) reported

    @virginmedia She shouldn't have had to do that. Issue solved now as she is now in a care home! Not easy for an 81 year old to get a new number!

  • tochianu Tochianu (@tochianu) reported

    @virginmedia I just joined and the internet is intermittent and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cover the whole house. It’s disruptive to my work and everything else. I didn’t have these issues with my BT. It’s meant to be faster and I’m barely experiencing any benefits

  • jennidurant22 Jenni Durant (@jennidurant22) reported

    @virginmedia So another seven hours? Like I said initially an absolute joke of a customer service department. Are you going to pay my phone bill for all these calls? Pay my time for all the time I've waited? My hourly rate is £50. By now you owe me more than your cancellation fee

  • living_cheerful 'Big Al' 🇺🇦 (@living_cheerful) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Problems with Internet and no engineer avaliable for 9 days! Quick to take money, really slow to sort problems. Time to change provider I think.

  • YeOldeMMRF A miserable motor racing fan (@YeOldeMMRF) reported

    @chrislepkowski @virginmedia I've had no problems with it at all since investing in a WiFi mesh system. I find I'm also getting close to the speeds they're advertising too. It's revolutionsed WiFi here.

  • chrislepkowski Chris Lepkowski (@chrislepkowski) reported

    @stevewollaston @virginmedia Flaming hell. Just noticed we have an issue in the whole area...
