NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

-
Told You So (@TYS20212) reported@Oxford_Life @virginmedia The new tv box is absolutely abysmal, the worst “upgrade” in history. If it wasn’t for lack of high speed broadband alternatives here we would be off like a shot.
-
Rob Sharman ⭐️⭐️ (@sharman_robert) reported@virginmedia appalling customer service, you either speak to a bot or a moron on a messaging service…they still haven’t fixed any of my issues I’m done at this point
-
France🇫🇷 League1+ 4K IPTV (@iptvfarnce70351) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV offers: * 300,000+ live channels * 65,000+ VODs * PPV ev
-
Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported@virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.
-
Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported@virginmedia absolutely terrible wifi this afternoon this is not the service I’m paying for !!! Really fed up of this
-
Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia @CriticalRole @LessThanJake I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
-
Cambridgewater.x (@cam_bridgewater) reported@vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness . Just "upgraded" to Voom 1 gig from 500. Speed slower than previously. Called technical .. they did some fault clearing and told me to reboot router, now I have no internet at all. Technical can't help reverse the error as they don't have full access .. unbelievable. Worst service ever. How can a technician make things worse and then tell me an engineer will be with me Monday ..
-
rssconsultant (@rssconsultant) reported@virginmedia your customer service agents on chat are utter crap. Taking 5 mins to reply to every response. Incompetent!
-
Un (@unknown74user) reported@virginmedia Do you have any English people working for you who can hold an actual conversation and help with my request? Or should I just cancel my direct debit and wait for you to try contact me instead? Everything about your system sucks
-
Tamblo (@RonTamblo) reported@virginmedia Virgin media is the worst business to get answers from . Either trying to actually speak to someone rather than a Bott who doesn’t understand. Trying to upgrade due to constant messages saying my box needs upgrade and getting no help is a joke !!!!
