    2 calls on landline from Asia, using dummy UK phone numbers, pretending to be from Virgin Media, telling me of a problem with the security of my router. Neither liked it when I told them their mother and father would be deeply ashamed if they knew what their son was doing.

    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia fully and reasonably, the agent response was "oh okay" and put the phone down. How do I make a formal complaint about the atrocious service you guys offer? (2/2)

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

    @virginmedia It's working now. Just would have been good to have been informed and kept in the loop that there was an issue being worked on, the status page was useless, stating no issues!

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

    @virginmedia Thanks, do you have an ETA of when you’re issue will be resolved? Many of us could of purchased this game with a different streaming service if we knew you would be having the same issues with red button as per usual

    Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported

    @virginmedia Oh ive just had a chat with your customer services and they were not just useless but they lied! Claiming my bill increase was a contractual price rise which is utter nonsense seeing my actual pre contract I AGREED to has the price rises April 2027!

  • sirabbey

    @virginmedia how long is this broadband outage in sm1? It’s been ongoing for the whole day

  • biggle1908
    Oracle (@biggle1908) reported

    Looking for some advice lovely people. For twenty something years I have had broadband from BT and TV from Sky. Sky’s renewal is coming in at over £100 per month and am currently paying £62 for BT which is now painfully slow. I have been looking at Virgin Media for both and this gives me a saving of around £70 per month for much faster broadband. What are people’s experiences with Virgin Media. Thanks in advance.

  • KP_1886
    KP (@KP_1886) reported

    @virginmedia Your broadband outages are absolutely unforgivable. We’re paying good money for your internet only to be denied the ability to do our jobs because we have no WiFi. The fix date keeps changing. It’s not improving. Yet we’re still paying. What are you doing about this?

  • KalEl_WBS

    A man in his 20s has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a house in Co Galway during the August bank holiday weekend. A man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after gunshots were reported at a residence in Dunlo, Ballinasloe on Monday 3rd August at around 3.15am.  Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was in the Cúlán Eiscir Riada area between 2.30am and 4am, and who may have witnessed the incident or has camera footage, to come forward.

    .@virginmedia your bereavement team are a nightmare. We’re trying to transfer account from my deceased parent but we’ve been told we have to immediately cancel within 24 hours? Baring in mind we haven’t got anything else sorted to continue? Is this policy you promote to everyone?

  • KalEl_WBS
    simon withers (@KalEl_WBS) reported

    @virginmedia You never reply to messages! Why bother asking to send us a DM. Also what’s the confusion you mentioned?

  • bahallathegreat
    Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported

    @virginmedia It was taken up by a carpet fitter and never relayed it so angry at that and I never had anyone to look to see if everything was running ok
