  • BorlaseDave Dave Borlase (@BorlaseDave) reported

    @virginmedia I'm fully aware you want me to use webchat... I've explained a number of times why that hasn't worked for me. Your not offering help and support... If you were, you would give me an email address of a manager. All you currently doing is offering me a system that doesn't work!!

  • stalibs33 Saimah (@stalibs33) reported

  • m1xzg Robert McKenzie 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 💙💛 (@m1xzg) reported

    I've loved moving from virginmedia to @fibrehop but every couple of months I run into an issue where their radius servers **** the bed and I can't authenticate anymore. This usually happens overnight but always requires me to call and log a ticket to get fix. Super annoying.

  • AverilLeimon Averil Leimon (@AverilLeimon) reported

    @virginmedia No. Absolutely no customer care other than recorded ‘ we are sorry for problems in SE3’
