@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!

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, 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!!!!

@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 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 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 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 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 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.

@virginmedia I have been in contact with someone. But I originally tried to notify you of my intential to cancel my contract on 29/4, but was told I couldn't do it as it was outside of 30days of the end of contract (08/6), so to notify at a later date. But am being told that I have to give...

@virginmedia I have already made a complaint and still waiting for the internet to be fixed. Is there a way to know why you can't fix the issue for more than a month?

@_100Countries @virginmedia With my dealings it's rare if at all companies ask for routers back. They're paid for with your contract or classed as "free" cancel the DD as if you don't they put you on a rolling contract

@virginmedia I’m up to date with payments that I owe. But I’m not paying for what I haven’t used. I cancelled in November and am still being told I am using the service. I’ve spoke to many people on the what’s app messaging service. But keep getting messed about. This is for media

@virginmedia They fixed whatever was wrong in the box down the road but never told us what was wrong. Asking the team through call or WhatsApp was useless. I got the general blanket statements.

@virginmedia Well I've tried making an account. Waiting for an email to verify but who knows how long that might take. Also waiting on a phone call, being told there's no issue here but also that they're sending an engineer round. BUT it's booked for Wednesday. Great.

@virginmedia we were meant to get our broadband installed today as moving home. Engineer said he couldn’t do it due to outside cable not being connected and that we would get a call as Avon media would need to come round in the next 2 days to fix. Now office is telling me 25th.
