@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 My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

@virginmedia I do, about an ongoing complaint and a new query too, as well as this unresolved mobile query. Am supposed to have someone talking to me via text right now but they are very slow to respond! 2 meaningless texts in 13 minutes. Could someone please ring me?

@virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

@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!

Why is @virginmedia's customer service so bad? Been on a call with their customer service and the person on the other end just hangs up the phone because they were asked to transfer us to a different department. Then, we call up again to get stuck on hold for hours.

@virginmedia Poor Wi-Fi connectivity and poor customer service as I constantly get put through to the ‘technical services’ who sit on it for hours and hours and then go home, at which I have to go through the messaging team again the next day and repeat the cycle of being ignored.

@AvaStrahd @virginmedia @Twitch been getting issues for 6 months, it's actually terrible how they are working atm. Two technicians solve nothing. Forum team says I have a high utalisation issue which can't be fixed because VM won't invest into new equipment.

@matelotjack @virginmedia @VMSolutions_ Yeah, only seems to really be an issue on BT Sport HD. I’ll be cancelling in the new year I imagine as based on what I get vs. what I pay it’s just not very good. I’d imagine it’d be much cheaper buying via the BT Sport app / Now TV for Sky Sports if only watching select games.
