    @virginmedia We are a customer but this particular cabling just services the houses below.

  • Salma_abdx Salma Khan (@Salma_abdx) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia They have improved but this is a regular issue now. This should be looked into, especially with the prices you charge for the services.

    @geewelchx @virginmedia Mate I was on phone for a hour told them to shove their internet up their ass and going elsewhere Lmao their customer service is shocking so I did it back

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

  • djbowers14 D J Bowers (@djbowers14) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • mrtariqmahmood Tariq Mahmood (@mrtariqmahmood) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia lnternet very intermittent. Router fault. But you won't send replacement so I am changing to Vodafone. Sick to death of the awful service I get from Virginmedia.

    @virginmedia It’s a media account, but it was more about the quality of the call. It’s not the way to treat a customer. Thanks
