    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

    @virginmedia Can you please advise when I can watch Paramount + through VM? I ring and liaise with your advisors through “Chat” and get told it’s on channel 150. Well it isn’t. No where can I find this channel. No one can offer me any help as to where this channel is located.

    1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

    Mark Cherrie (@MarkCherrie) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    So far I’ve had three promised appointments from @virginmedia but sadly three no shows. We’ve had intermittent broadband for about 6 months now and just can’t seem to get the problem fixed.

  • Luciddestiny
    Warren Ryan Philips (@Luciddestiny) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @brooktop68 @virginmedia @bridgetmck We’ve turned the Superhub to Modem Mode and picked up separate WiFi routers. Resolved most of our issues immediately and we rarely get drop outs. Invest in a decent router or Mesh, you won’t regret it.

    @virginmedia @52marathonman Now have to wait until 19th July, absolute rubbish, apparently they had no contact details for me, yet had sent me 17 emails and a similar number of texts! Appalling service, so much for being new business!

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Why? I’ve called over 20 times now. I’ve been promised call backs that never happen I put in a complaint that promised a call back that didn’t happen The pre install team turned up, I fed them and gave the cuppas, they dug up the road but didn’t pull the cable. What next?

    @virginmedia no WiFi, phone or TV in Brighton BN2 Causing major problems with work What's the problem and when can it be fixed? I can't afford to miss any more work

  • churchlard
    Churchlard (@churchlard) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia @52marathonman They are useless, had an installation due on Wednesday of this week, they emailed me Wednesday morning to say they couldn’t instal as they had been unable to gain access on Monday. Never did they mention needing access on Monday, and I was home all day and no one rang bell!!

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia No. Your staff don’t respond to emails when they come back on shift. I’d like to raise a complaint please. Please escalate this to your supervisor if this is something you can’t do. I’ve been waiting since 14th December. Do you feel this is acceptable customer service?

  • etinton

    @cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.

  • tracy_s1
    tracy_s (@tracy_s1) reported

    @virginmedia Now saying that the estimated fix time is 10.05 tomorrow that means 24 hours without the use of tv service we pay for @virginmedia will we get compensation for this?
