    Can’t wait until our @virginmedia contract comes to an end the worst broadband product and with genuinely the worst customer service - avoid always

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

    @Spudsghost @EE The @virginmedia crapness is to do with their router I think it’s useless and can’t send the WiFi through paper thin plasterboard or handle the TV signal

    @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

  • MsWhippet1
    Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

  • LRLettings
    Leigh Rowland (@LRLettings) reported from Pontnewydd, Wales

    @virginmedia my booster did not turn up again today although live chat said it was scheduled, this 2 hours on the phone and 1.5 on live chat, booster should have been with me on the 21st Jan...I need some help please

    @virginmedia I'm fed up of trying to get in touch to sort out my rubbish broadband service, due to the fact you cant keep your end of the contract please cancel mine.

    Berry (@berryleigh) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia I made a complaint January 12th. I phoned on 15th to chase it. I was told you would be in touch and you haven’t been. Your T’s and C’s say 28 days. We are now on day 38! You responded quickly to @SophieEB how come you can show everyone the same respect! Your rubbish!

  • P__TheLetter
    Stu (@P__TheLetter) reported from Bargoed, Wales

    @virginmedia Really need to speak with someone to order a replacement SIM card. Phone lines say customer service is closed & so does the local store phone number. Live chat is taking hours.

    @virginmedia when I contacted u earlier in the year I was told the upgrade to the 360 box doesn't mean a new contract, but yet after months of you harassing me I've upgraded box and low and behold you've sent me a new contract until 2028 , not happy how do I cancel???
