@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

@virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

@virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

@virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

@virginmedia instead of me wasting anymore time waiting for a "manager" to phone. I'd appreciate if someone could contact me regarding my package and why you are trying to overcharge by 50%. Absolute disgraceful customer service and attitude towards existing customers.

@virginmedia No, I’m calling into the centre now. Sick of thinking about this stupid bill every other week. I’ve literally called around 7 or 8 times only to be lied to every single damn call! How hard is it to do the right thing?! Taking this to @financialombuds or @Ofcom today. Sick of it!

@virginmedia i got a new router and off they went. only the first time something was addressed but it clearly wasn't what was causing the issue. since then I still had the issue and had various new routers.

@virginmedia I need to be contacted by phone and text on my trip. I also need my voicemails. If I don’t switch in roaming I can’t get these. Virgin’s data fees for the U.S. are vastly more expensive than your competition. I never had this issue with my o2 or Vodaphone contracts.

@virginmedia I called today to cancel my Virgin broadband. The reason I am cancelling is my wife sadly took her own life on our house on 16 March, and so I have had no choice but to move out of our house and in with my parents. Despite explaining these circumstances to six…

@mikey_kay1 Mrs G went for Virgin Media Wi-Fi because of the kids Xbox etc & it’s only about 8 ft from the router. I’ve played with all of the settings & tried everything. Just taken it off the wall and it didn’t even capture that Think I’m about to have a Falling Down moment! 😡
