    @Bearded365Guy @virginmedia I’ve tried to get the link a number of times but they still have t sent it. Awful service I just want to speak to a person who doesn’t put me on hold and redirect me to another dept who don’t answer, so frustrating

    Not happy with Virgin Media at the moment. No WiFi since Saturday. Tried calling and got nowhere as the call centre is closed. Don't need this during self isolation. Does anyone else have this problem. Not good enough Virgin Media.

    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I've heard negative stories.about them downhere. Again around service. Dread to think what will happen with Flybe, if Virgin supply shoddy service.

    @danslee @virginmedia That’s shocking customer handling Dan. If it’s any help I’ve actually found the guys @TalkTalk pretty good especially on tech issues around broadband.

    Trying to talk to get a change to our @virginmedia account. 5 weeks, none of the promised call back & now they close our account without telling us. If this is how they treat long term customer avoid like the plague!! #customerservicefail #broadband

    @_lliesl_ @ArmchairAdml @globalds Grain They're limited in coverage because they're new, but they have their own lines like Virgin media and don't run on openreach network

    ... (@GrantRfc89) reported

    @ArmchairAdml Just give notice or switch to a different provider. I had similar with Virgin media recently and literally had to have my wife try and open a new account at the address before I got a deal comparable to the new customer one.

    @virginmedia I am in desperate need of help, my tv isn’t working properly, the phone line I been given tells me it’s not available. Once I got through giving it my account number it doesn’t recognise my account number. It’s turning into nightmare. Can you help

    @virginmedia Many hours now with no TV on any channel. Unacceptable when your service is so expensive.
