    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

    I staff @virginmedia customer services have taken leave of their senses. I called and the lady asked me how much is your bill every month as part of the verification process I said £27 a month she asked for my email address which I gave and she again asked for my price?

  • R111_Gaz
    Gaz (@R111_Gaz) reported

    @palmertrees @Amy_90_x Well, yes, just like people pay for Sky et al. Point is, its normally an extra fee channel, but not this afternoon, any Virgin Media customer can have it.

  • Gbarch1
    megb (@Gbarch1) reported

    @virginmedia Our service has been down since 10pm Thursday 28th. Latest updates keep pushing reconnection forward to latest info: 1st June 12pm. What on earth are you doing? Clearly not working on Friday-Sunday. Replies have dried up and your Whatsapp is disabled. We pay £123 pm

    David Gerrish (@DavidGerrish) reported

    Misleading email @virginmedia saying I can watch Champions League Final for free. Seems I can’t. Now my son is in tears and he thinks I’m a terrible Dad.

    JCC SOUTH (@JccSouth) reported

    @rpd_pacer @virginmedia @virginmedia customer service is woeful. With them since it was Telewest. Sky are much better and have got good offers on at the moment. Only time they were any good was after a death in the family when they weren't needed anymore! Good luck.

    @virginmedia @Vikk3rs146 Sorry isn't good enough. The link you gave tells us nothing we didn't already know. We want actual answers and some real customer service. All it tells me is my internet is down, well no **** Sherlock the flashing red light and no connection on my computer told me that.
