    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I can't keep on rebooting the router. It just disconnected again on wired and wireless and then reconnected again. Prior to today, no issues at all.

  • jays_space3 Jay's Space (@jays_space3) reported

    Getting out of an escape room is easy compared to trying to cancel services with Virgin Media.

  • Legit_CSGO elliott (@Legit_CSGO) reported

    @virginmedia once again. another issue. i have called multiple times and tried multiple chats and been passed around just to simple get a service cancelled. which you have told me was cancelled in writing. then have sent a router and email wishing me the best on my new services...

  • Legit_CSGO elliott (@Legit_CSGO) reported

    @virginmedia already had multiple calls. i get passed around and noone seems to know exactly what im talking about. multiple calls have dropped. i just need to speak to a complaints department which i have tried and they just pass me back to the team who cant help.. have saved chat logs.

  • Legit_CSGO elliott (@Legit_CSGO) reported

    @virginmedia it is long and i do not believe it will all fit in this tweet reply. i can explain in full if you message me directly if you can actually help me but it is long story and im still nowhere with virgin media after days of trying.

  • danieledmunds4 daniel edmunds (@danieledmunds4) reported

    @virginmedia why am I paying over £150 for such a shocking internet service

  • lodgey69uk 🦊 Dave Lodge 🦊 (@lodgey69uk) reported

    @virginmedia The fact is, that I requested a call from a manager and have had nothing which is the main reason we are looking at other options. The customer service we have received over the past 7/8 years has been woeful.

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported

    @virginmedia is there issue with landline ?
