  • MattJ0lly Matt Jolly (@MattJ0lly) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Having difficulty trying to log on to my neighbours Virgin Mobile Account as she’s finding it impossible to log on. Would appreciate some assistance and help. Thank you!

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @harryhpalmer @RWoody1995 @SirWalterSmith9 @virginmedia Their approach of not telling anyone when things are broken, and that in fact the service status page always shows everything is fine. Or telling us afterwards when it’s fixed. Or in any way owning their failures in service.

  • simonfromharlow SfH (@simonfromharlow) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @ChrisOnTheBus @virginmedia *sigh* I’m not a customer and have never used them. I install things for clients.

  • burgess32 helen burgess (@burgess32) reported from Harlow, England

    Absolutely disgusted that @virginmedia feels it’s ok to cancel installing my nans landline not once but twice and give a new installation date of 10th September. For a landline she desperately needs for an emergency pendant.

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @RWoody1995 @SirWalterSmith9 @virginmedia Yes, that is why. Exactly. But I’d still like better customer service.

  • Trotski82 Stephen Trotter (@Trotski82) reported from Stanstead Abbotts, England

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @NeilCastle @benno86222551 @SteinerJar @virginmedia I feel like that’s what my post was. Bear in mind, this is not new. I’ve sent this feedback over and over, and the response is always to give me a ton of work and testing to do, and then the problem resolves itself and they take no responsibility.
