We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

Sunny Russ🏓⚽️ (@RussSunny84873) reportedVirgin media is the worst service provider I’ve ever known. Charging loyal customers more and more every year! Ridiculous!
-

-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@MrGee27 @virginmedia I disagree. Having suffered their appalling service too many times over the last six months, I think the senior management should be marched naked through the streets of Basingstoke and pelted with rotten fruit. Every weekend for a year.

Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported@Ofcom “@virginmedia made it harder for customers to cancel their contracts and then did not fully cooperate with our investigation. ‘As a result, we are levelling our largest ever fine under our consumer protection rules for direct harm to consumers’.”
