    @virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.

  • alansutch Alan Sutch (@alansutch) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've booked a technician for Thursday since the online service claims there's no problems. I hope they'll be able to fix the box outside, which I believe is the issue.

  • sparkyclarky77 Chris Clark (@sparkyclarky77) reported

    By the way, when I press the button to go through to the team that cancels my service, I don’t want to hear I’ve come through to the wrong team. “You’ve come through to sales” you might want to get your engineers on that. @virginmedia

  • rdcanyon rdcanyon (@rdcanyon) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t know, just says engineer booked on service checker page

  • stephstevens16 Steph Stevens (@stephstevens16) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I’ve had broadband issues for 2 days, when is it going to be fixed?

  • postcardclaire Claire (@postcardclaire) reported

    @virginmedia So the *FREE* benefits of Volt, being both a Virgin broadband and O2 mobile customer… actually will cost more per month. 🫤

  • richardscowby1 Richard (@richardscowby1) reported

    @virginmedia Nobody can help on calls why cannot a complaint manager ring which is what I requested on the complaint form

  • nuttyno 𝙆𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙚 ♫ 🐾 (@nuttyno) reported

    @virginmedia I asked to be put through to someone who could process my cancellation. This was after being on hold for 40 minutes. Then I couldn’t really understand the man talking to me, I said I just wanted to cancel and he hung up.

  • WelshDragonParr Lesley Parr (@WelshDragonParr) reported

    @virginmedia I rang and was sent a text linking me to an online service so 'I don't have to speak to anybody'. This is the online service that didn't work. I want to speak to somebody! That's the point of calling a number.

  • rdcanyon rdcanyon (@rdcanyon) reported

    @virginmedia No estimated time fix and it says an engineer is booked

  • NickDyne Nick Dyne (@NickDyne) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, improvement in proactive monitoring and I had the call disconnect from your end twice. On both occasions it was when I started asking questions about your processes. I am very unimpressed. I will give you a 1* rating because not only is your network poor, so is your service
