    This time last year I was working a delivery job just to survive and pay my car insurance/mobile bill and basic food shops. Fast forward a year. Now working 2 brilliant jobs with DIY SOS and Virgin Media, which I never would've got had I quit on Irish Football Fan TV.

    @virginmedia my phone signal has been getting worse since you joined 02 and now I'm In Carlisle for the weekend and I can't get any data or if I manage to it's not loading properly how can this be fixed

  • R_Wilcox89 Rick W (@R_Wilcox89) reported

    @virginmedia your a joke of a company! You send my grandmother a new SIM card due to the “network” improvements. She calls to activate it, you then all of a sudden set her up with a new number and charging her for a 2nd line! As you give her a new number! 0 customer service!

  • CCX_Maynard Tom Maynard (@CCX_Maynard) reported

    @virginmedia really helpful emailing me to say my services are sorted and back online when I'm still staring at the broken Internet and no TV service. Also your helpline that just hangs up on customers is terrible #crapcustomerservice

  • elan4872 Roy Ellaby (@elan4872) reported

    @O2, evening. Today, I’ve been mis-sold an O2 Volt SIM card by a Virgin Media operator. Tried ringing Customer Service to cancel but lines say closed. What are the opening hours for cancelling the contract please and what is the correct number to call?

  • jmcoleman1989 Jonathan Coleman (@jmcoleman1989) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is getting worse! B31 showing no issues, but wired connections keep intermittently cutting out for a few seconds at a time - enough to cause sites to close etc also getting half the speed would expect when actually working

  • MrRichardLJones Mr Jones (@MrRichardLJones) reported

    hi @virginmedia Is there a customer retention team I can speak to? Live chat is taking hours.
