    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

    @virginmedia New one is I was hoping to sign up to some sort of TV package, but when logged into my online account it gives me a "oops" with no option, so I need to talk to someone. Experience with the number you have given me has been poor, I want to avoid it!

  • GuseensLV Gusts Golubevs (@GuseensLV) reported

    @virginmedia its running fine for few days and then its **** tell me whats going on? you telling its Fibre Broadband it feels like unrelayable DSL

  • Kairo_EL_Masry 'Kairo' (@Kairo_EL_Masry) reported

    @virginmedia I absolutely hate your broadband. It’s the worst. I need to terminate my contract. This is not what I signed up for.

  • Stuart_McDonagh Stuart McDonagh (@Stuart_McDonagh) reported

    @virginmedia my broadbands been down since 1pm and I've been waiting all afternoon for an engineer to contact me, when I phoned at 2.30 i was told I'd be contacted within 4hrs but I'm still waiting! This is unacceptable I work from home and need this sorted ASAP!! Please help me!

  • adollarmore Anne Dolamore (@adollarmore) reported

    Well done @virginmedia On Friday no internet and tonight no TV. But your 'technical' support tells me our box is 'f***ed' but you'll replace it for free. Don't make me laugh. Of course you'll replace it for free. It's your faulty equipment.

  • ClaretAndBloos MÅTT #AutismAware #GSBOUT (@ClaretAndBloos) reported

    @harvey_garry @virginmedia Yep. Had to bin Sky BB half way through contract for exactly that reason. In the end I ended up paying £60/m for fibre to the premises broadband (500Mbs) and although it’s expensive it’s superb. I’ve had ONE issue in a year and that was cos of high winds.

  • Emsilouise Emma rowledge (@Emsilouise) reported

    @virginmedia was meant to be having new cable put in today your technician arrived at half 8 and says he would be back and never returned!! Great to have waited in all day for nothing!!

  • adollarmore Anne Dolamore (@adollarmore) reported

    And @virginmedia you ask if I will fit the replacement box myself without need of a technician. I wonder why ? Cost saving measure possibly? No I damn well won't. That's like paying for a meal in a restaurant and being asked to do the washing up!

  • harvey_garry ⚒ Garry Harvey ⚒ (@harvey_garry) reported

    Absolutely appalling customer service from @virginmedia today. Get me out of my contract, I’ll go somewhere else 😡

  • richardayris Richard Ayris (@richardayris) reported

    @virginmedia I cancelled my service with you a month ago but still not received anything to send the equipment back. Is it coming?

  • podgeypoj86 Laura Rogers (@podgeypoj86) reported

    @virginmedia I have, it was equally as slow! Any suggestions?
