    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

    @virginmedia £27 up to £32 without a letter, text, email or anything is a bit rude, can you explain why?

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia The only call i have had was 2 calls from the sales to team to offer me a black friday deal, when i asked were they calling in response to my compliant they said they were unable to help with that as it was not their deptartment

    @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!

  • Sajeed_B sajeed xec (@Sajeed_B) reported

    @virginmedia I have been experiencing issues with my broadband since November and the customer service has been horrendous how do I go about getting actual assistance.

  • EmmaRoland3 Emma Roland (@EmmaRoland3) reported from Firhouse, Leinster

    @virginmedia I joined you for a €30pm deal. You just sent me a bill for €239 this month. I contacted your customer care team about this 2 weeks ago and it’s still not solved. How dare you... sort it out today. Don’t ever attempt to go near my bank account for an unagreed amount

  • w123ckc Chris Chatfield (@w123ckc) reported

    @virginmedia It is now my 13th day of having no broadband or TV. I have finally been able to talk to a manager, who couldn’t re-connect me. My problem has now been “escalated” to a senior manager. Again nothing has been done or resolved. #virginmediauseless

  • katiepaterson25 Katie Ackerman (@katiepaterson25) reported

    @virginmedia lol your customer service is beyond shite :) x

  • piperj50 Sheila Bell (@piperj50) reported

    Anyone else had problems with cancelling their @virginmedia account?? Seem to be going round in circles here.

    @virginmedia seriously, is there an outage in limerick area or is it just my modem turning on and off all afternoom

  • EJC1234 Emma Conway (@EJC1234) reported

    @virginmedia 3 How can you charge a customer extra for a box they already have? All you have to do is reconnect it as it was your fault it was dis connected. Why are you bringing up charges out of the air? Now you are saying if I cancel my broadband and phone line it will cost!!!

  • NattoBri Natalie (@NattoBri) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been intermittent all week! When we called today we were told there’s a fault in the area ( however when I check says no fault) then we were told to reboot , which we did and now no internet and won’t have any until 23rd earliest, we have had issue after issue since Dec
