    @virginmedia £100 per month for WiFi that is virtually unusable and tv where five of my paid sports channels and three movie channels are unwatchable.Shocking service

  • mbusby993 𝕸𝖆𝖙𝖙🏳️‍🌈 (@mbusby993) reported from Mow Cop, England

    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.

  • williamtm Will Hook (@williamtm) reported from Crewe, England

    @serenium @virginmedia Lots of ISPs don’t support it, not just VM.

  • JuPo71 Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with your level of service to an elderly disabled customer. Drafting a complaint that will be with your shortly.

  • FowldsSimon Santa Sime 🎅🏻🎄 (@FowldsSimon) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @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.

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    shocking service from @virginmedia who first tell me the wrong info & then try charging me 10x more then what they said for cancelling when they do not supply to my new address…

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I know there is a cancellation fee, which I was more then happy to pay when your customer service advisor told me this was one months bill. But then to discover the next time I call that you are actually charging me close to 10x more then this is disgusting.

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia How about your fix your services ? I filed complaints several times, I filed issues, it goes to deaf ears. Help me or I will have to get legal help because I pay for this package but it's not working and I get no help

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with your customer services. No answer on phones and waiting hours on chat.

  • DaleForceWinds Dale Percival (@DaleForceWinds) reported

    @FPSLimits @virginmedia Yeah I’ve heard a few say about the wireless being abit off. But most my connections are wired apart from phones really. Hopefully it’s not too bad!
