    @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

    Kev (@victor50) reported

    @virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.

  • kateandhergirls
    Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported

    @MartinSLewis plz help. @virginmedia told me I was out of contract when in fact I have another yr, tried to switch plans via your site & im currently paying £36pm for 500mb whereas new customers can pay £22.99 for 1GB. VM slapping me with almost £400 get out fee. 😭 #virginmedia

  • AndyP1982
    Andrew Parmenter (@AndyP1982) reported

    @EE why can a new customer get a deal £10 a month cheaper than someone who has been a customer for nearly 5 years? Where is the customer loyalty? I’ve now signed up to @virginmedia #customerlost #customergained
