@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

@virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

@virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

@virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

@virginmedia Good evening I was told to expect a call at 3pm this afternoon after I had a problem with an upgrade, its now 7pm and still no call. I am a key worker and had to change my shift to take this call today and I can not take anymore time off work.

@virginmedia Experience your fastest and most reliable wifi ever, is your tag line and yet it's blatantly untrue. I've had practically no service on my mobile for two days and yet Virgin don't even put out a statement regarding problems with the service for some customers.

hey @virginmedia why do you keep customers on hold for over an hour to then hang up on them under the guise of "transferring to the right department"?

@virginmedia but you told me to check the website and the website said no issues... So now I need to call... again, for the 9th time? I think you're on a wind-up.

@virginmedia Why doesn’t someone just send me a direct message, get my details and ring me. Incredibly frustrating paying for a service you’re not providing. Can I invoice anyone for my time and money I’ve paid you for nothing?

@virginmedia I'm having the same problems others in NI have been reporting - very unstable internet service, despite rebooting the hub. Very frustrating now that I depend on the internet so much.
