@virginmedia your online service status says there are no known issues in my area. However when I called just with a broadband issue I was told there is a fault in our area. If your website was up to date I would not have needed to call and queue for 30 mins.

@virginmedia thanks for looking into this in great detail and I only wish that I could go back to the previous version which was fully accessible and user-friendly unlike this version of the app. They shouldn't of updated the app because it wasn't broken in the first place.

@virginmedia Usually I would swipe down with one finger and it would tell me that I’m on the delete option and I just tap delete to erase the program

@VirginMedia the worst customer service known to mankind. I do not know how they say in business.

@virginmedia OK thanks for that and the screen has gone away after I clicked on the sea terms link but I still have the problem of not being able to swipe to delete on individual programs within a folder as this was possible before the update

@virginmedia Hey, turns out you never DMd me. It was a scam artist and I narrrowly avoided getting my card details stolen (although I did give away my home address before I checked the username). That’s not on you; but thought you should know.

@VirginMobile @virginmedia proved to me that they don’t do customer service. We waited a month for a phone sent to a wrong address, & then had to collect it ourselves. We also proved the phone had a fault from the start, but now we’ve been told to claim on insurance and pay £125!

@virginmedia Sorry for my delay as I'm being treated for a heart attack I had on Valentine's day. When I tested and found v low speeds I could not connect to any internet, so I used my mobile 3g service to check for Virgin internet issues, which came back no issues in my area.

@virginmedia They don’t understand what you are saying to them. I had to say my postcode 5 times phonetically. Also on the phone for 45 minutes with no resolution. #badtimes

Intermittent broadband, no phone line and unable to log into the @virginmedia on line account as we don’t exist. Puts the tin lid on A completely crap day.

@BluenoseBeau @virginmedia I have 100mbs supply, over 6 months max received 76.4 for one test soon back to mid 20-30 worst being 0.7 I wouldn't mind so much if it was running at Ave 75%, not when it's seems to be around 35% mark. Oh it's constantly dropping the wifi too!

@virginmedia is actually the worst. Imagine paying money for WiFi which goes off multiple times a day and is slow even when it’s running well🥴

@virginmedia We don't have internet, we have been struggling to get you to give a proper service for a few months already. We changed plans, had technicians over,called you a million times. I can give you my account number to check I'm not lying.

@virginmedia Well you can start by providing the service you are supposed to provide. I'm done calling your costumer service.

@virginmedia I've been complaining for at least 5 months about this, so I guess I can say I've been installed if by installed you mean been a victim of your terrible service

@virginmedia Just spoke to your customer service team who didn't show interest in helping, instead he told me he was terminating the call and then put the phone down....can you please get someone to call me? I am seriously considering putting a complaint in to the ombudsman!!

@virginmedia If I'm have a case open for it right now, so I'm waiting on the results.. but tbh £34 credit for a year or more of underperforming service is a real slap in the face.. I've spent £996 on something I've not received .
