@virginmedia Okay, we'll try again tomorrow. I'm sure you're aware I've lodged a complaint already as very unhappy with the level of service from your agents. I needed this sorting over a week ago and now Virgin have taken another £129 for another month🙄

@virginmedia for the second time this evening your broadband has dropped out, yet according to the app there is no issue in my area. This is happening far too frequently. You have previously provided me with insufficient means of making a formal complaint. I'd like it now please

@Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

@virginmedia You have offered me deals on live chat that are ridiculous when I want to drop an item from my package. Unless I get offered what you show online for a new customer I’m moving. @virginmedia you have insulted a loyal customer with offering me a couple of pound off me bill
