@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, 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 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 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 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?

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 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 I requested this but unable to help as my account is closed! I don’t know why I should be liable for a debt that you don’t even charge any longer! For something out of my control.

@virginmedia Can't seem to sign in now. When I called 150 they said they'd erroneously removed my services but would take 24 hours to get them back, how can that be?

@virginmedia Shouldn't you have technical minded people on your support services? Surely this shouldn't be up to random people on the Internet to come up with a solution?

@virginmedia Are your teams able to check whether specific ports have been blocked that may restrict access to vpns? Specifically udp500 and udp500? I have already spoken to my works It team who believe it is an issue with the ports.

@virginmedia The fact that it’s been on going for months with no resolution .it’s highly unlikely that it will be over in a week . Apologies but you’ve been completely unhelpful

@virginmedia Yes it was. All set up now so we have to live with it. Took forever and I will never get my recordings or the waste of time back! No one can tell me exactly what we have gained from it!

@virginmedia @theshortblue Trying to cancel service because of no service on 1st day, the read appalling number of negative reviews on trustpilot. Customer service were terrible and started trying to tell me i haveto pay 3 or 4 hundred pounds to cancel early even though i am in the 14 day start period.
