  • wotsits4lyf selihdivad (@wotsits4lyf) reported

    @virginmedia Had to raise another complaint as unable to get in touch with anyone to discuss my initial complaint. Promised call back didn’t happen. I’ve not even been with you a month yet and I cannot wait to leave.

  • Teyamade Teyamade🍸 (@Teyamade) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. But still my sim doesn't work. Can't receive phone calls or use mobile data

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported

    @TJA_evonet @Opus_Energy Good luck with that mob. They are almost as bad and corrupt as @virginmedia. I had 10 months of hell with them. In the end they paid me off and promised never to contact me again. They broke it. Just awful.

  • CityOfHushHush ✨🌸call me Vee pls🌸✨ (@CityOfHushHush) reported

    @virginmedia It says that there's no known issues but we haven't been able to connect to the Internet all day

  • BradleySawyer14 Bradley Sawyer (@BradleySawyer14) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had issues with my mobile service since getting it and been trying to get support for months. I was finally given an email address and told to try that instead of calling but now they don’t reply! Any better way to actually get help?

  • Csider53 Nick Salthouse (@Csider53) reported

    @virginmedia Another day and no contact....@virginmedia great service

  • SosaUTD ‏ً (@SosaUTD) reported

    Snap down in International break and virgin media bugging tf out too ffs

  • chaostocosmos Chaos to Cosmos 🇪🇺 🇮🇪 #FBPE #LongME48Years (@chaostocosmos) reported

    @virginmedia As I've already said, calling was no help - hence I'm here - and I'm sorry, 'hopefully' is just not good enough. Surely somebody knows what's going on and can give us some estimation of a lead time?

  • jasonsmith119 Jason Smith (@jasonsmith119) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Hi, this doesn't work. The verification code never gets sent.

  • Elaine3600 Lainey (@Elaine3600) reported from Laois, Leinster

    @virginmedia My sister eventually got through, a new boxis being sent out and if that doesn't work a technician is coming Saturday. Personally, I don't think new box will do it.. A cable appears to be down in next street!
