    @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    Hey @virginmedia Why are there constant broadband issues in the fy4 area? Regular cut offs. At least half a dozen times so far this month. Contract to soon, so maybe time to switch if you can't provide a reliable service. Ps,your chat bot is also as useless as your broadband.

  • VirginMediaNews
    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    Prince Harry, Elton John and five others have been ordered to pay an initial £9.5 million to the publisher of Britain’s Daily Mail following their failed privacy case. The group had accused the publisher of unlawful information gathering - claims it denied. The judge found there was insufficient evidence to support the claims and said there was a possibility the reporting came from legitimate sources. The £9.5 million payment must be made by August 28.

    @Suzanne46462413 @virginmedia I get that all the time until I realised it was because for some stupid reason they block anyone not in the UK. Are you outside the UK?

    Anyone ever had @virginmedia charge them for a movie they never purchased? Theres no history on my app, box or even an email confirmation of said purchase mind you - just a charge on my bill for £17.99 which they say was purchased with a pin number on the box.
