  • shanly1 Shane (@shanly1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I have just been on hold for 40 mins to your call centre and your agent just dropped my call. Please DM me to arrange a call back. Our broadband service has degraded significantly since we upgraded to your 1Gb package.

  • i_am_mickey Michael (@i_am_mickey) reported

    @virginmedia Not as the minute, the issue was last night not today

  • Dom_Whittington Dominic Whittington (@Dom_Whittington) reported

    @virginmedia Just so you know the service from your credit file email has been disgraceful. This is atrocious and unacceptable and we will seek other action if needed.

    @ProdByWalkz I'm on O2 and virgin media. No WiFi all day. Started last night about 11. Are you having the same issue?

  • JamesMorley92 James Russell-Morley (@JamesMorley92) reported

    @virginmedia It’s concerning a payment we appealed. We made an online complaint waited 28 days never heard anything. So I rang around 2 months ago and was told I’d get a phone call from complaints department within 72 hours and never did. No reference number as our account has now been closed
