Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

-
b (@ihavejordans) reported@BobbyMan747 @Virgin Personally i was thinking of making the switch to Virgin Media, but the last couple of weeks i have been hearing a lot of this. I thought they had sorted out their issues, but it appears they haven't.
-
stephen lane (@ppglane) reported@waterjetcut @MichelleBeckett @virginmedia Virgin just got a £28 million fine because they knowingly didn't cancel contracts .
-
RednalNut (@RednalNut) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia Ofcom fine Virgin Media £28 million. But fail to regulate. Where does the money go? There are regulatory bodies for everything in the uk, Water, Energy, Communications, Banking, Health Care. Do they actually do anything?
-
Bigphuco 💧 (@Bigphuco) reported@virginmedia again virgin media down again and asking me to book an engineer for Tuesday. Absolutely ridiculous and to think u wanted to charge me £80 for a renewal on my contract!
-
Dr Rajab (@RajabGhandour) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia All are same cases. They are horrible to deal with and you end up in constant loop with them!
-
Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing
-
Gold (@MoonwalkOnGold) reportedBut then again I saw a news report about @virginmedia customers this past week so I'm not surprised @VirginAtlantic is just as bad. Terrible!
-
Kathy Miller (@KathyMi25429227) reported@virginmedia Please cancel engineer visit that I did not ask for...I do not have time to spend another 25 mins on hold
-
estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported@LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.
