Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandHey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia
-
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.

-
iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported from Wednesfield, England@virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-

Mike Hill (@mikmikemicky) reported@PeteUK7 @virginmedia That's bad. When my dad died, a company who's bill didn't get paid even offered to be executor's in his estate?
-
Bill Y (@BillY18201250) reported@PeteUK7 @virginmedia #Vodafone did this to me with my dad's estate. 2months left on a 24month. Gimme the money and kit back. Then had the cheek to try and upsell the package during the call. I lost it on that one. Think its time #ofcom cracked down on bereavement account closure tactics.
