  • shannonruddock_ shannon (@shannonruddock_) reported from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

    Ben tried contacting @virginmedia because someone has ****** up our account during our house move. He was ignored and could hear the girl typing in the background. He tried saying hello repetitively but no one responded. Not acceptable to treat your customers this way!!!!

    @virginmedia why is broadband installation taking ages to sort out . I agree there was a port issue which was sorted today , but you send me a text to tell my installation is on 15th March ? which is 4 weeks more from what was promised . Absolutely disgraceful customer service !!

  • roadsideromeoh Kush Raja (@roadsideromeoh) reported

    @diyaaaxo @virginmedia Please help.

  • LauraOnABike Laura Iveson (@LauraOnABike) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone just call me or send an engineer out. I’m so fed up of it now, can’t watch anything on my devices outside the room, I just want to cancel my contract, it’s useless and frustrating

  • RektByAlien RektByAlien (@RektByAlien) reported

    I have to say @virginmedia customer service is ******* appalling. Something so simple to sort out, took us nearly an hour on the phone, and we are now having to wait for a technician (which isn't needed) to resolve the issue. Wasting the technicians time and ours. Not impressed.

  • champs1uk Keith Champion #GSBOUT (@champs1uk) reported

    @virginmedia No reply to this? Or no other help than reboot your hub?
