@virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

@virginmedia But the package I have is old now it doesn't exist. I don't have HD channel for itv2. And pay so much basic phone line and Internet so pay over odds. Price increases on an outdated package. You think 10 years as a customer I could upgrade my package to a current TV one

@virginmedia Yes, rebooted as per advice we receive every time 😒 We've experienced the same issue repeatedly since the "Intelligent Wi-Fi" upgrade. Repeated outages however status always reports that there is no issue.

@virginmedia We have an intermittent service and they were calling to get this fixed. They were advised to call us by you guys apparently. I had been on the chat - not getting anywhere I might add, to get a booster.

@virginmedia I'm talking to one of your team who I hope can sort this. I'm shocked how badly you treat elderly and venerable customers. I think the guy on the phone was embarrassed how this can happen. It's just wrong plain and simple.

@virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact you since 08:30 this morning, six hours ago. I have neither the time nor energy to keep this up. You’re only interested in speaking to prospective new customers. Maybe if I cancel my direct debit you might find the time to contact me?

@virginmedia I will be sending a formal complain to you. The way you can help really is by calling me, to process the complain asap, so this does not take up anymore of my time.

(@BrandonBeck93) reported
@virginmedia trying to reduce somthing in my deal to get the price down, cos we cant handle this level of price hike all at once. the £2.50 jumps were unwelcome, but doable. 15 all at once is just too much. started at 75, now we will be over 100. we just cant pay that much per month right now
