    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • Dani_HeadCase Dani HeadCase (@Dani_HeadCase) reported

    @virginmedia We pay extra for 24/7 support and we get NONE at all. 2 hours on a what’s app to be told to do the basic steps all over again is ridiculous. Then to be reduced to tears on the phone because your agents don’t care. The second time I called their “system froze”

  • hannahfearn Hannah Fearn (@hannahfearn) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down across SE27 even though service status says it’s ok (I’ve checked with neighbours and we’re all struggling). Please can you update on likely length of outage

  • j1ggy_j jiggy jai (@j1ggy_j) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom @MartinSLewis virgin how long am I expected to wait? Considering this is ticket is from 18th Jan. I also believe I have figured out with the problem is as I am fed up of if not being able to communicate.

  • Dani_HeadCase Dani HeadCase (@Dani_HeadCase) reported

    @virginmedia We pay for 24/7 support and we’re not getting it. We’re not getting any support. At all.

  • george_i81 George Ivanov (@george_i81) reported

    @virginmedia After spending another 15 minutes on WhatsApp I've been advised to call the PIC team (?) for the cancellation of my order.... and the numbers 08000643823 or 08001831234 just hand up on me as soon as I select the option to cancel. This is really sad...

  • j1ggy_j jiggy jai (@j1ggy_j) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 That’s the problem. Your team don’t seem to know how to fix or what to fix! Like I said this ticket is from January. That’s 3 MONTHS & counting.

  • Dboy Dan Southern (@Dboy) reported

    @virginmedia But I have a separate problem that I suspect isn’t to do with the area problem and can’t talk to anyone about that

  • hughes_nm neil hughes (@hughes_nm) reported

    @virginmedia Last Wednesday 13th April I was visited by Dave, a virgin media employee not a Comex employee. Dave arrived with his own spade which he had taken out of his shed ( you couldn’t make it up could you??!!) took one look at the job and said ‘I can’t do this, it’s way too big HELP!!
