  • mayasmoves Maya (@mayasmoves) reported

    @virginmedia is there some wrong with the service? Wi-Fi has been really poor this whole week (service status says it’s fine but it’s been super patchy!)

  • minaislx Aamina (@minaislx) reported

    @virginmedia No one has?????? If you can’t provide what you claim to provide than I should get a ******* refund and so I can move elsewhere cuz your service is not good enough.

  • DavidBSauer David B Sauer (@DavidBSauer) reported

    @virginmedia Was told Virgin Mobile's (@virginmedia) policy is to block contracted data when reaching spend limit. Removing Unlimited data does nothing to protect from overages, and is making my life difficult. Now I have paid extra, in advance of my direct debit, and STILL have no service!

  • lauradocherty84 Laura Docherty (@lauradocherty84) reported

    @virginmedia why are episodes 1 & 5 Brassic season 3 not included in my package but all others are? It says all episodes available from wed 6th Oct but just these 2 episodes say I need to upgrade when I know I don’t 🤬 another fail by @virginmedia sort it out.

  • tvlvt_ TVL (@tvlvt_) reported

    @virginmedia So please tell me why we were told by Virgin to upgrade the broadband to correct the issue only for it to still be happening multiple times within the space of 6 months. Absolute shambles.

  • tvlvt_ TVL (@tvlvt_) reported

    @virginmedia We had this problem in the spring and were told we needed to upgrade our package which we did. In July we then had a 3 day outage and our Hub was replaced and the same thing is happening again, none of our devices can connect to the Hub.

  • iamdougmac1 Doug (@iamdougmac1) reported

    @virginmedia If Virgin was at the property and I didn't want to port it over... a fee would be fair enough, but it's not there. You should foot the bill, not me. I won't be rushing back once you're eventually there, crap customer service to a loyal customer for years

  • minaislx Aamina (@minaislx) reported

    @virginmedia Haven’t tried wired, but WiFi is absolutely **** which is what I NEED. Paying for one of the highest package - 200 something but only receive 10/15 mbps in every other room except the one the router is in. 15 out of 200 is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

  • owlsgirl67 Becs (@owlsgirl67) reported

    @virginmedia It should be back on within 48 hours but they also told me that at 8.30 Wednesday morning. I made a complaint today which has been closed without even an apology.

  • QuintonAndy Andy Quinton (@QuintonAndy) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...some idiot on the phone. Had enough now. Goodbye
