  • princess_boo148 Laura Stevens (@princess_boo148) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That's achieving nothing. What's the point in WiFi if it's not gona work. Can't get through on phone and get any help at all. Absolutely appalling service and il now be taking this further

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia This was the same as me and drove me mad and my bill kept increasing and no wifi, eventually went to BT and they are great and quarentee wifi in each room. No trouble so fars.

  • ibrocksom Ingo (@ibrocksom) reported

    @virginmedia why can you never see offers or Upgrades on your acc, it beggars belief that this hasn’t been sorted yet, ridiculous

  • phall851 Peter Hall (@phall851) reported

    @virginmedia our WiFi service has changed. Range/reliability is shocking. Countless calls to call centre with no resolution, except to try to charge me more for a service I had. Been with you years. Really shoddy service.

  • HoundourXI Houndour (@HoundourXI) reported

    Virgin Media have the worst WiFi I’ve ever experienced
