Poor customer service from @virginmedia this morning. Phoned to discuss fraudulent callers to my landline. First advise was to call #TPS, I carefully explained that I was already registered with them. He then said, let me give you a number. I diligently wrote it down. Who’s that

Really disappointed with @virginmedia call centre staff this evening, asking 10 times in the space of 20 minutes to speak to a supervisor to resolve an issue is not good enough

As well as the hub randomly disconnecting from various home control devices; Alexa, Sonos, Dyson… the @virginmedia TiVo Box now seems incapable of playing BBC iPlayer! This service, despite having the most up to date equipment and checking every setting & connection is rubbish.

So I left @virginmedia over 18 months ago as they tried to rip off a loyal customer and had no customer service experience or knowledge at all. I thought I'd give them another chance just by grabbing a sim only deal as the offer was attracting. say no more, Sim cancelled!

@virginmedia Thanks you for this. I’m at work 12hrs today so won’t be calling. Very disappointed over the past 2yrs of issues. I’ve called customer services multiple times and made two complaints previously. Still not resolved so will be switching.

@virginmedia From Me To You, it’s a Samsung Q700T, but the low sound level has always been a problem. Hopefully we can Come Together and do Something. Don’t Let Me Down, @virginmedia.

@virginmedia yet again no broadband 😡 the service is appalling, pay a fortune for broadband yet spend more time trying to connect than using it,now all WiFi enabled devices need to manually be reconnected (when you fix it) some of which require taking apart cameras to do so😡

@virginmedia @sleepyclegg What you want to do is give every customer in the affected area a month free, your services are down more than a prostitutes pants. Sick and tired of paying for over priced services that are never working. They're down again in North Lanarkshire get it sorted.
