    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

    @virginmedia Think I have but any more problems I will give you a yell

  • neeta68 Anita Whelan (@neeta68) reported from Gateshead, England

    16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

    @virginmedia The thing is you never told me the day you were coming. All I knew was the internal house installation was the 2nd February that was it. So why should I pay for the lack of communication from your third party external omni connection company?

  • couiza Cat B (@couiza) reported

    @virginmedia I am in REAL trouble.I need to speak to you urgently cannot go via your normal phone process because this involves running a check on my equipment and if it does not come back on then there is a REAL problem as I am temp disabled following a bad accident Please help.

  • StephenD1402 Steve Williamson (@StephenD1402) reported

    @mschakraverty @virginmedia They are shocking. Called them up constantly for a week as speed was great standing 2m away from router. Anything further than that was terrible. They offered me 2 boosters, but I had to pay around 10/month for them.
