@DavidAHSleath @virginmedia I love the customer service when they just end the call half way through trying ‘to help’ I once spent 5 hours back and forwards with the every part of the business... engineers... blah blah blah... still was no better! Until I managed to get through to Scotland! 👍🏼

@virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

@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 Hi, Thank you for continuing to help me. I have brought the device down to my living room (where the hub is) and it works fine. I can’t help feel like I am completing tasks just so Virgin Media don’t have to sort out an issue. The devices work downstairs, hardly do upstairs 1/2

@virginmedia I was quoted £75. It was absolutely, definitely £75!! I find your customer service dreadful. Not just this time but I find I want to throw my phone at the wall everytime I call you so I’m not sure I want to stay if it’s going to be like this !!!

@virginmedia 8 intimidating calls from people supposedly calling from your Technical team saying I have a problem with my internet. Can’t reach by phone and still waiting 1 hour later for live chat. Disgusting customer service!???
