    Trying to get through to @virginmedia to ‘renegotiate’ my broadband contract (which is long up). Been on hold for 90 mins over two days (understandable, given our current crisis), but the calls cut off after 30 mins & feature the same, awful hold music. HELP!

    Virgin Media’s shit service strikes again at the weekend...was about to watch a film on Amazon Prime!!! @virginmedia

  • fizzyade Adrian Carpenter (@fizzyade) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It’s been saying no since yesterday. Since the issues with some static IP customers arose. There’s clearly an issue that you are ignoring despite multiple people telling you. One DS and one US and no GRE.

  • PaulLindsay10 Paul Lindsay (@PaulLindsay10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Re the systems down it was an area issue. WiFi no. Lack of communication and customer seevice, no engineer needed!

  • AzukaFred Wang Lin (@AzukaFred) reported from Dartford, England

  • PaulLindsay10 Paul Lindsay (@PaulLindsay10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia has the worst #CustomerExperience #customeservice of any company! No email answer, no call back by manager as promised. And over a 3 month period.....can’t say I’m not patient or haven’t followed up! #Disgraceful #onholdfor12minutes

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hardwired is OK Wi-Fi is always rubbish and so can't connect to watch Netflix you tube it to other boxes as V6 primarily use Wi-Fi and not cable. Poor choice. A total waste of my 130 month and thousands on #4k #oled @LGUK TV I bought

  • jdaykin Jerry Daykin (@jdaykin) reported from London, England

    @MichaeljonF Good question... just having a bit of an iffy connection last few weeks. I have a full on Google WiFi Mesh network... tried to iron out a couple of dubious hacks in the system... plus I’ve upgraded the core hub to the Nest WiFi Router now. Starting to suspect it’s Virgin Media 😂
