    Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

    kevws (@kevwgs) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Awful. When my Nan died Barclaycard wrote and said she had to pay her bill. I'd already told them she'd died, but rang them again only to be told "we still need to speak to her". I replied "well you'd better know a good Medium because her ashes are in my hallway". Utter idiocy.

    Rene Batsford (@renebatsford) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia My broadband services have been shambolic for nearly 2 weeks - Called support yesterday, was told wait a week ?! - apparently there is a major issue with the newer home routers - I logged into the app today and it did a force reset - still appalling service WTH!

    @virginmedia many customers in Broseley are struggling with intermittent issues with internet service (this was before the heat 🥵) Your online service status test doesn’t appear to be working and can’t find our kit (we are using it, it’s here!) please sort the issue.

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Call them and threaten to leave. The Retention/Sales Team will cut you a deal. But don’t get sucked into taking the VM movie bundle - the movies they offer are crap.
