@virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

@louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

@virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

@virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

@virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

@virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

@virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

@virginmedia Will you please sort your **** out, 7 times my internet has dropped for 30-60 seconds it’s so frustrating pay for the best broadband available and have to put up with this 😡

@virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

@virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

@virginmedia It's still awful. And so intermittent. It constantly cuts out and watching a movie was awful. I ended up streaming off of my hotspot.

@virginmedia Hi nope! They transferred me and hours later nothing so I’ve filled in a complaint form. Shocking lack of service and for something so simple

@virginmedia I do appreciate that but I think the dynamics are a little different when the engineer causes the problem that it would warrant jumping up the queue.

@virginmedia Its a linked issue, a family discount account because I have two phones and broadband. Just spent an hour being laughed at by someone in the Philippines who doesn't understand the law and repeatedly refused to give me their name. No phone means no doctor, no carer...I'm scared

Typical @virginmedia, we spend most of half term out and about, so we will use this weekend to catch up with work before Monday. This is when there is a "network issue"! 😠

@virginmedia It's the hub that's not working! So that's irrelevant! If the main source keeps breaking

@virginmedia Broadband for our whole street is down, your 1st line support was argumentative and refused to listen and is adamant it’s a household issue and not a service area issue, can you get this resolved please?
