🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England@bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, EnglandGood start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time

Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.

Definitely not Elon Musk (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, EnglandProbably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.

Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189.

Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England@virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.
-
johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

Sean Austin 316 (@seanaustin1985) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia I worked for VM as a tech and I wasnt one of them but it was common practice by some rltwchs to feather knock so they could put the job off and blame the customer for not being in..
-
Darren (Dazza) (@scouse9000) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia Yes I would totally agree with that! I had to get in touch with one of the directors to sort my account out! She waved the massive bill if I dropped my complaint!! We had closed the account 5 months before that! Shocking customer service!!

Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@MartinXTweets @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
-
M-O-O-N (@Borgle1) reported@caz_fizz @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin are terrible now. Since the Welsh and North East staff were laid off. The overseas workers are untrained and promise the earth but deliver nothing and cause hours of phone calls for issues that could and should be solved in 3 minutes.
