@rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

@virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

@virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

@virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

@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.

@virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

@virginmedia We will see. Pretty terrible start so far, still can’t link my Virgin Media account so can’t see anything which you blamed on an outage even though I couldn’t access it when I signed up - asked the rep to send me text message updates but you’re sending them all to my wife…

@virginmedia @O2 @DisneyPlus what a shambles. Can’t access O2 app to manage my Disney acct, VM no idea why, O2 say app is down as last week’s update to merge it with VM has gone wrong, so wait till it’s fixed. O2 can’t help either as their access is also down #itsm #customercomms
