@virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

@virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

@virginmedia @Scottish720 What goods is an apology? Let me cancel my contract early. I’ll be looking into my rights and where is my discount? I won’t accept this and it will not stop here. I am on probation in a new job! Do not cost me my livelihood

@virginmedia your internet goes down every couple of weeks, we’ve had engineers coming out and it’s gone down againtoday. you can’t send an engineer until Friday. What’s worse is when we called up you tried to sell us a premium service so we wouldn’t wait as long for engineer!
