  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

  • siomhaithmhic Irene Megaw (@siomhaithmhic) reported

    @virginmedia She shouldn't have had to do that. Issue solved now as she is now in a care home! Not easy for an 81 year old to get a new number!

  • tochianu Tochianu (@tochianu) reported

    @virginmedia I just joined and the internet is intermittent and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cover the whole house. It’s disruptive to my work and everything else. I didn’t have these issues with my BT. It’s meant to be faster and I’m barely experiencing any benefits

  • jennidurant22 Jenni Durant (@jennidurant22) reported

    @virginmedia So another seven hours? Like I said initially an absolute joke of a customer service department. Are you going to pay my phone bill for all these calls? Pay my time for all the time I've waited? My hourly rate is £50. By now you owe me more than your cancellation fee

  • living_cheerful 'Big Al' 🇺🇦 (@living_cheerful) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Problems with Internet and no engineer avaliable for 9 days! Quick to take money, really slow to sort problems. Time to change provider I think.

  • YeOldeMMRF A miserable motor racing fan (@YeOldeMMRF) reported

    @chrislepkowski @virginmedia I've had no problems with it at all since investing in a WiFi mesh system. I find I'm also getting close to the speeds they're advertising too. It's revolutionsed WiFi here.
