@virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

@virginmedia It's always 47.37 when it should be a straight £47. We do everything online and never get paper stuff to do with our package or billing

@virginmedia Well if your team would response to my complaint, or even provide the call data when your Sales Rep “Fully Explained” these exit fees in a script and I agreed I understood them. Hopefully the DSAR request will only take the official 30 day period, rather than the 45 Scott said!

@virginmedia I've gone through your currently available online help multiple times, none of it helps. Both on wired, and wireless the speed is subpar, and connection quality unacceptable. I have done the usual (off and on, all the excess stuff), with no improvements...

In all fairness to those that have @SkyUK broadband. It is an awful service. We suffered nothing but outages so we changed to #virginmedia as soon as we could. Went from around 35Mb to 200Mb then upgraded to 350Mb before I went onto Gig1.

@virginmedia Yes, it just says you are aware of an issue and it won't be fixed until 16:00. I can't work at home without internet! What is the actual issue?

@virginmedia After tech said "you need new box, we will ship, no, now we will require tech visit", I asked for cust service. Was put to retention, who said "we can lower bill in return for inconvenience". Only when I pushed twice on "does this lock in new contract" told "yes 18mo minimum".
