    @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

    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.

    Lilzura (@NavaronePage69) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia Yep they hang up constantly and pretend the call dropped or something if you ever bring it up. Virgin don't have nearly good enough of a WiFi to treat people that ******

  • JimSterling
    Commander Stephanie Sterling (@JimSterling) reported

    Got further this time but when they said they'd transfer me to their pre-installation cancellation dept. it hung up again. Jesus Christ, @virginmedia you are *really* horrible at this.

  • Burgeeez
    Steve Burgess (@Burgeeez) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I can’t seem to find a link to the chat messenger service, can you please advise? Haven’t got time to wait on a call to then get hung up on again and this has proved most successful in the past. Thanks

  • AQueerPanda
    Zinda, his face black, his eyes red🖖🏻 (@AQueerPanda) reported

    @JimSterling Virgin Media are the single worst customer service experience I've had since TalkTalk straight up lied to me about buying out my ISP, I've had a good few meltdowns from stress with it. Good luck getting it sorted, you'll need it. I wish other ISPs offered such competitive speed

  • evilgeniusuk
    (insert funny name here) (@evilgeniusuk) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia if you need the connection for business (which obviously you do), I wouldnt touch Virgin Media with someone elses barge poll never mind my own. They are absolutely dreadful and they dont care. Their routers are shite, their tv boxes somehow worse.
