@Paulout @BT @virginmedia I can’t believe how bad BT have been over this. Advisors just seem to want to keep you talking even after taking 20+ mins to get through and then do nothing for you. Proper fed up 🙁

@virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!

@virginmedia Yes absolutely, soon as we landed I got the message saying I was in Greece and could use my mobile exactly the same as in the UK. At no point did it say to check for other countries in case they stole my network! I had been on the same network all week from 26th August

Hey @virginmedia, please install fibre lines in Mow Cop (ST7) so I can get rid of PlusNet. Had to change from Virgin Broadband when we moved, and I never had a single issue. Sick of PlusNet outages now.

@virginmedia Don't worry you're rep is long gone! It was just the worst timing to rock up & block our extremely tight side road 👌🏻

@McGiff @virginmedia I am having exactly the same problem over roaming charges for a country I’ve not been anywhere near a, appalling service and been told tough pay or they take me to court! At my wits end!

@virginmedia Not even a DM asking for contact details to discuss further @Ofcom & @CISASUK have been informed and will be supporting with furthering my complaint. Hopefully my followers will see these tweets and avoid your black Friday sales 👌👍 even if only one person avoids the #scammers

@virginmedia why was I not informed of changes to my package. I’ve got the full house package which included kids tv. Name changed to maxit and now no kids Tv. Thank god we have amazon and Netflix which has kids stuff on. Don’t watch either on Virgin as it’s so slow.

@virginmedia I am not stupid I get that! However, the text I received said welcome to Greece you can use your phone exactly the same as if in the uk so I had absolutely no reason to switch roaming off when I never left the resort. I have kept the texts which state exactly that

Mark Chambers
(@CHAMM24) reported
@virginmedia Does not appear to. The issue I have is the amount of time it drops out. It never did until recently but it has happened far too often lately. Very frustrating when it drops out when we are talking to family in these strange times.

@virginmedia Well after an hour on the phone trying to get through I’ve been cut off! Seriously considering going elsewhere now! Very poor!

@virginmedia Yes, it said no problem. I'm getting nowhere here. It's INTERMITTENT. So if I run the test and wait for it to drop out it might come back at that moment so doesn't show anything

@virginmedia How hard is it to phone someone and apologise for not fitting your equipment on a date YOU gave? Or letting a CUSTOMER know when you will fit what you ordered? Or leaving an elderly lady without phone and broadband?

@virginmedia Every now and then on our hub 2 the signal would drop out! We were sent a hub 3 and since then we are struggling to connect at all, even the connect app says poor but yet with the hub 2 there was no connectivity issues as we were all able to connect to the WiFi!
