@virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

@virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

@virginmedia @83_soph This is David - Sophie responded to my orig tweet. I have now sent my complaint through to VM Complaints, Sunderland. Hopefully something positive will come of it. Can’t believe the mis-sell by your sales team. Not earth shattering but very annoying.

@virginmedia After all the time spent dealing with the issue I took the Agents (both!) advice and paid more for the Sky Movies so that it wouldn't affect my existing Contract (made crystal clear!) and they advised me to call back to give 30 days notice to cancel the Sky Movies I am now told

@virginmedia - another triumph! I couldn't solve my slow broadband using your website and now you've sent me a survey to fill out about my experience - but the survey link isn't loading. Magical!

(@chris_doyle86) reported
@virginmedia we were told that our self installation box was being sent today, cancelled our previous package so they didn't overlap. You text ON THE DAY to say there's an issue with suppliers. Can you not reactivate the previous boxes? Over an hour to speak to someone is a joke.

@eric_hawkins9 I keep getting calls from 'virgin media' on my mobile. It's odd that they can never tell me the phone number on the account. I always try account verification with cold calls.
