    @DalGarcha @virginmedia We have had no, or hardly any internet for nearly two weeks. Pathetic 'service's.

  • BarnsleyBotts James Bottomley (@BarnsleyBotts) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Shame your customer service agents on the phone don't seem to feel the same. You cancelled my TV & BB before agreed date, agreed to re-instate which turns out to be a lie as now refusing to unless I agree to a long term contract. Astonishing awful treatmeant

  • marksuttonbike marksuttonbike (@marksuttonbike) reported

    @RUTrainingToday @virginmedia Also Talk talk. Probably worse still. And to be totally fair, I was once on BT and the engineer literally told me they play pass the problem parcel at the junction when one person complains by just switching wires around. At this stage I have no reason to doubt that.

  • BirtlesJames James birtles (@BirtlesJames) reported

    @virginmedia I’m getting slow wifi speeds in all areas apart from the living room where the router is.

  • xokw Katie Watkins (@xokw) reported

    @virginmedia Yes the same issue!

  • RUTrainingToday James Smith (@RUTrainingToday) reported

    @marksuttonbike @virginmedia Nightmare, just gone over to @virginmedia and all I have heard are bad things.

  • DuncP Dunc Pine (@DuncP) reported

    @virginmedia Off and on for over a year - whenever we’ve tried to sort account systems seem to be down and support tried updating software which made no difference- box is very old now

  • marksuttonbike marksuttonbike (@marksuttonbike) reported

    @virginmedia Since we are back at the beginning, no further along the road with your suggestion to spend another hour of my time on the phone fixing your problem, will you cover my phone bill this time?

  • rgee0 Richard Gee (@rgee0) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying convey that your website and chatbot appear to be out of sync. Chatbot provides info and links that don't work, which seems to be a bit of a problem when all upgrade paths are funnelled through the chatbot. Even the 'Chat Now' button is a no-op

  • alexmc4 Alex M-C (@alexmc4) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia please help me with this, I'm now at a total loss at what to do after spending all day yesterday on the phone to Virgin being promised things which didn't happen. I'd like to leave now

  • IanWatoop IanWatoop (@IanWatoop) reported

    @virginmedia Appreciate you following up. It's on back on now but yesterday morning was a nightmare in Exeter with the internet off from 8-10. Was not in the mood for one of your ads popping up after having to cancel several important meetings yesterday morning.

  • jjlfc1892 John Johnston (@jjlfc1892) reported

    @BigLiz77 @virginmedia Piss poor service again by virgin media. Standard that
