Brett (he/him/his) (@Bretti97) reported@mojopin1983 @virginmedia Be careful Tony. Virgin media just got a massive fine because for making it unreasonably difficult for customers to cancel their contracts
-
Mark 🇬🇧🏴 (@MrMarkW67) reported@virginmedia I’m really struggling with my Wi-Fi coverage at home. I have a security camera mounted right above my window, but it constantly drops connection due to weak signal. To make matters worse, I get virtually no Wi-Fi signal at all when I am sitting in my back garden, which is really frustrating. Given how close these areas are to the house, I shouldn't be losing connection like this. Could someone please check my Hub settings/signal or advise on getting Wi-Fi Pods to fix these dead zones? Thanks,
-
John T (@John48231) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Keep complaining, I got mine down to £30 for 350mb
-
Phoenix Rahman (@Phoenixrahman) reported@virginmedia @RA0307J No companies know how to treat loyal customers anymore. Was with VM for over 20+ years. They acknowledged that but they did not try to keep us. Glad I moved away from them. Companies are all about greed now
-
🇬🇧🔥 FIRE is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported@CompoundingISA @MartinSLewis @ao Such short sighted customer service experience. I's like dealing with Virgin Media 10 years ago. I had to tell them 2-3 times that yes, I really did want to cancel. Thankfully, I was only on hold for a few minutes.
