    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp I have. They were not great. I did explain that the voice options stated there was an issue. However, your email said it would have been sorted last week. You breached the 6 hour window and the 5 people I spoke to in Timbuktu didn't understand me all that well 🤦#poorservice

    @Benleo @virginmedia I think #Vodafone takes some beating in the crap call centre department, but I feel your pain

  • Bowtomephil
    Phil (@Bowtomephil) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Some are great some are not. I had an issue told them what I thought it was as it happened before. One guy said its not that, came three times, changed modems, cables connectors etc. I told them don't send him , they sent a new guy listened to what I said, fixed what I said.

  • MartHarrison
    Martin Harrison (@MartHarrison) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yeah…the internet speed was great but the rest was totally awful based on my only experience with them…when asked I tell folk to avoid them👍

    @Benleo @CallmeRight1 @virginmedia I had heard they have a dreadful reputation for customer service or lack of it…..

  • IanLythgoe4
    Ian Lythgoe (@IanLythgoe4) reported

    Anyone's Virgin TV STILL not working after 2 days bet we dont get refunded so im paying £140 a month for a **** service @virginmedia

  • JamieReynolds92
    Jamie Reynolds (@JamieReynolds92) reported

    @virginmedia When building a package theres no option for recording boxes? Surely if your becoming a stream service the price should reflect that?

  • ABabySeagull
    ABabySeagull🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@ABabySeagull) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!
