Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage.

Angeltt (@Angeltt_tt) reported@PeteUK7 @IDHDRUM @virginmedia Win95 wouldve taken 3 weeks, not 3 months, theyre lying ******* trying to save face for their disgusting behaviour. Theyre predators, mis-selling + overcharging for services they simply arent (+ never) providing + their service as a whole is worse than running on timed dial up.
-
Noely Daniels (@noel33330) reported@JamieGBarry @virginmedia Never understand why companies do this … same goes for insurance companies.
-
Dr Stuart Woolley (@FractalDoctor) reported@PeteUK7 @virginmedia Had exactly the same situation last year with a close relative. Complete shambles that took many mails and waiting on hold on the phone to resolve, then sending back boxes of crap that would no doubt go into landfill. I'd recommend avoiding them at all costs, for anyone.
-
Tino 🐧🌋 (@TinoElduderino) reported@JamieGBarry @virginmedia They will offer you login to the website new deal if you do the chat with an agent or speak to some in the phone if you are willing to lock in for a new contract.
-
🇬🇧 FI is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported@JamieGBarry @virginmedia Leave. Send back the equipment at their cost. Get your partner to order a new contract via a comparison site. Claim cashback. Been there, done that. Totally nuts customer service by Virgin.
