    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull 🍐 (@itsDanBull) reported from Birmingham, England

    @MrDKOz @virginmedia I asked Virgin's technician about the business package when i joined and he specifically said I wouldn't need it because their fibre service is so reliable it'd be a waste of money to go for the business package. I remember that vividly and it turned out to be terrible advice.

  • WadrupR Rob Wadrup (@WadrupR) reported from Solihull, England

    Just watched the @virginmedia advert they must of used a different provider to get there videos posted as your service is diabolical Like I say monies due next week I cancel direct debit and you will respond with a stupid message.

  • SteveBreave someone random (@SteveBreave) reported

    @virginmedia @colinevo If you looked at the issues people are having & tried to make your system robust enough to counteract them, you may not have such busy phone lines. If you offered decent deals to existing customers you wouldn't have to employ people to lie & cheat their way to remaining with you.

  • davidspencer911 David Spencer (@davidspencer911) reported

    @virginmedia John - The contact methods do not work, other than submitting a complaint which I have done and takes 28 days to respond. I do hope you take this into account when calculating my final bill, otherwise I am off to Ofcom @Ofcom

  • yoshida_kenshin Yoshida Kenshin (@yoshida_kenshin) reported

    @virginmedia I said I had 3 days of total loss of service. It should have kicked in. It didn’t. I complained. It’s not been resolved. Customer service here is a joke. And please explain to me what Education given means in context of a resolution?

  • MillieWynter Millie Wynter (@MillieWynter) reported

    @richardbranson Virgin Media have falsely registered a debt saying I owe money. I have gone through the Complaint Procedure and your colleagues are refusing to correct their error

  • Lindzell_LFC Lindzell (@Lindzell_LFC) reported

    @virginmedia Just that it is probably an issue between 2.4ghz and 5ghz and number of other virgin customers in area. Didn’t change a single thing just said he’d sat outside in road testing signal. I ha e asked for an upgrade to hub 4 but was told is up to management discretion!!
