@virginmedia OK thanks for that and the screen has gone away after I clicked on the sea terms link but I still have the problem of not being able to swipe to delete on individual programs within a folder as this was possible before the update

@VirginMedia the worst customer service known to mankind. I do not know how they say in business.

@virginmedia is actually the worst. Imagine paying money for WiFi which goes off multiple times a day and is slow even when it’s running well🥴

@BluenoseBeau @virginmedia I have 100mbs supply, over 6 months max received 76.4 for one test soon back to mid 20-30 worst being 0.7 I wouldn't mind so much if it was running at Ave 75%, not when it's seems to be around 35% mark. Oh it's constantly dropping the wifi too!

@VirginMobile @virginmedia proved to me that they don’t do customer service. We waited a month for a phone sent to a wrong address, & then had to collect it ourselves. We also proved the phone had a fault from the start, but now we’ve been told to claim on insurance and pay £125!

@virginmedia They don’t understand what you are saying to them. I had to say my postcode 5 times phonetically. Also on the phone for 45 minutes with no resolution. #badtimes

@virginmedia thanks for looking into this in great detail and I only wish that I could go back to the previous version which was fully accessible and user-friendly unlike this version of the app. They shouldn't of updated the app because it wasn't broken in the first place.

@virginmedia I have already called that number this morning. They told me there was no available deals. I've put a note in my diary to call back on the 16th. I'm not holding out much hope though considering the poor experience I've had today. I wanted to sort it today on my day off.

@virginmedia I'm an existing customer, I've been with you for coming up 2 years. The colleague I dealt with was so unhelpful and just told me to call back on the 16th. I have a back up plan anyway as I've just spoken to sky and can get a 80mb for £25. I can afford the 20mb loss for £34 saving

@virginmedia Usually I would swipe down with one finger and it would tell me that I’m on the delete option and I just tap delete to erase the program

@virginmedia Sorry for my delay as I'm being treated for a heart attack I had on Valentine's day. When I tested and found v low speeds I could not connect to any internet, so I used my mobile 3g service to check for Virgin internet issues, which came back no issues in my area.

@virginmedia Hey, turns out you never DMd me. It was a scam artist and I narrrowly avoided getting my card details stolen (although I did give away my home address before I checked the username). That’s not on you; but thought you should know.

@virginmedia Sorry I am confused. Can you please answer question. Do you regularly have capacity issues. Unable to coupe with the broadband demand at peak times?

joella
(@rick_macauley) reported
@virginmedia But your company never applied for permission to lay cables, we didn't want to leave it's your fault not ours so why should WE be penalised

Amy
(@amyfulton33) reported
@virginmedia Oh where do I start! We can’t get virgin at our new house even though we should be able to (virgin need to move box), your customer service has been atrocious - passed around, disconnected more times than I can count, told I’d get a call back and never did, the list goes on!

@virginmedia I want to cancel along with hundreds of other people who are fed up of Virgin! But who has time to sit on hold to speak to yet another handler who has no record of the previous conversations and to have to explain yourself all over again!

(@tb285) reported
@virginmedia @darrancooper83 This is an issue that many people seem to have reported last night as well. It's an issue across BT Sport content (channels 1, 2 and 3) although bizarrely BT ESPN is working which suggests there is a fault at your end rather than BT

@virginmedia You are waisting my time. There's no point of replying if you can't help or escalate to a senior manager. Sums up virgin staff contredicting each other. Please get somebody to call me today. I want the service I was sold with the boosters, and a continuous signal.

@CBeebiesHQ I’m with virgin media and it was just the chuggington programme, was it the episode itself? My boy was watching programmes before with no issue and once chuggington finished the audio was as normal

@virginmedia The ping is still higher than normal this has been going on for 3 days. I restarted my router last night and still had a problem. Why I do a speedtest it show wildcard networks.
