  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

  • Queenof_Speed Diana V 🇮🇹 (@Queenof_Speed) reported

  • debbiebanfield debbie banfield (@debbiebanfield) reported

    @virginmedia i I’ll was just in the middle of a chat and the website went down. I still need to talk to someone regarding my bill

  • HelenHilliard4 Helen Hilliard (@HelenHilliard4) reported

    @virginmedia Massively let down by virgin. Daughter on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Totally and utterly hacked off. Constantly promised emails and calls that never happen. Useless is sn understatement

  • AdeMitchell Ade Mitchell (@AdeMitchell) reported

    @virginmedia I can't check the service status web page as it isn't available due to work being done on it. You should really know this. 🙄

  • jono_one john o'neill (@jono_one) reported

    @virginmedia Then the second time someone picked up the person wouldn't help me or let me speak to a supervisor

  • olimortimer Oli Mortimer (@olimortimer) reported

    @virginmedia Bit poor that you don't compensate under 48 hours, especially with people relying heavily on 100% uptime due to working from home. Maybe give a bit more notice than the evening before downtime is planned, to allow customers to prepare?

  • misssmiley32 Sarah Miles (@misssmiley32) reported

    @virginmedia I have just called the number and there is no known issues in my area, so how come I don't have Internet? I have reset the router as well so please don't ask me to do that.

  • Aaron_PS3 Aaron Irvine (@Aaron_PS3) reported
