@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!

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

@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.

Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

@virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

@virginmedia Can you explain to my how I can agree an upgrade with one of your representatives to a greater broadband speed and add TV services, wait in for the installation, nobody attends, call back and be told that nobody knows anything about it?! Appalling service as usual 🤬

(@ssjjsd) reported
@virginmedia Have you not seen any of my Tweets? I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes, spoke to 2 employees who just put me on hold, totally unacceptable, I want a different way to cancel or I will use Ofcom, Twitter, Facebook until someone contacts me and tells me how to cancel my service.

@virginmedia I don’t understand. My question is relatively straightforward. You have said that a fix is underway by approx feb 18. I would like to understand what they are fixing. Local broadband or tv media services.
