  • DixieJessop Alan Jessop (@DixieJessop) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Hi there My 92 year old mother in law has been without her landline phone for over a week She has been charged £99 for engineers to visit but not fix it It is linked to a panic alarm as well This is unacceptable?

  • vanessa_sherie vanessa (@vanessa_sherie) reported

    Wtf is going on with my @virginmedia @richardbranson if this ain’t working by the time arsenal kick off at 7:15 I want my £50 back for sky sports package pronto .

  • lpz3 🌈Thoughts Aloud!😷 (@lpz3) reported

    @virginmedia I accessed that using paid for @giffgaff data when your broadband was off in our area for 4th time in 6wks (or less). @Ofcom - is there any scope for auto refunds when a service is not reliable? The 24hr loss of use thing is pointless for us as its off for less - but often!

  • SamStallan Sam Stallan (@SamStallan) reported

    @virginmedia Our home set up was 4 days late arriving and we can't even use it as the engineer date was moved to a week later. I do hope our bills won't start until the service is up and running or I will be cancelling. Oh and the chat service is terrible. No one replies.

  • davidledgard david ledgard (@davidledgard) reported

    @virginmedia I want to complain about the service...... Internet off again ....... why will it take nearly 2 weeks to get back online ???????

  • ItsSinneh ★𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐒★ (@ItsSinneh) reported

    @virginmedia **** you, your shitty WiFi and your joke of a company.

  • nicola_jane98 Nicola (@nicola_jane98) reported

    Virgin Media has the worst WiFi on earth. I think a sting and tin cans work better than their WiFi.

  • charliejhadley Charlie 🧑‍🎤 (she/her) (@charliejhadley) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve opened an official complaint but now I’m waiting up to 72h for reconnection despite it being completely your fault. From a data security point of view this is a mind boggling error. What’s even the point of having security on accounts if this can happen?

  • LinseyElliott Linsey Elliott (@LinseyElliott) reported

    @virginmedia @amieerundle @virginmedia u pay to watch live,great you are reshowing it, what's the point in paying £26 to watch it the next day when u can see updates for free.People paid for the full fight, not just the main event.Undercards are just as important.Its a joke,not accepting this poor excuse.

  • MRamsey1974 Martin Ramsey (@MRamsey1974) reported

    @virginmedia Is this for real??! I paid to watch the event live!! If you paid £25 to see a show in the West End and the performance was ruined by technical issues - would they tell you, it was ok for the last song and it’s being performed again tomorrow if you want to watch it again? #refund
