Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.
-
Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England@Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent.

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

Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported@virginmedia I have messaged you team online, replied to their emails and tried calling. But your team told me my package wouldn't change as I moved home then have sent me a contract for 4x as much and then decided to not pass security with me to fix. It's an evil scam

Alan Cripps (@cripps_alan) reported@virginmedia do you ever listen to to your own customer service recorded messages ? They are awful ! Totally unclear what we are expected to do to restart service ! . And why does your customer service team not start until 8am when they are based in India ? Makes no sense
