    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • DannyWoodwad Danny Woodwad (@DannyWoodwad) reported

    @sy_asp @SkyUK @jurassicfibre Virgin media is a totally different line, we're fibre/coax where the rest are via the phone line. I get they need to try and fix it though.

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia I've raised a complaint several times and have been advised (via what's app) that someone would be in contact within a certain amount of hours. This is the third time now that no one has contacted me. Each time I chat with your so called "customer service" they take...

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia One of them does, which shows that I'm being told by your people the complaint will be logged and I'll be contacted back just to get me off the conversation. Having to do this on my Birthday is ridiculous, and getting a response quicker through twitter than your actual advised...

  • Alihh Ali Hay (@Alihh) reported

    @virginmedia where have all your shops gone?! Getting really fed up going to a call centre and being put on hold over and over for the simplest question. Lovely girl but can’t understand her accent. Been a customer for 20+ years. Thinking of leaving…🙁

  • ChantelleEJ Chantelle (@ChantelleEJ) reported

    I call @virginmedia @virginhelp because my internet has gone down for the eleventh time in 3 months. I get through to someone as I can hear them getting a Teams notification in the background- but they don’t speak for over 5 minutes. They then hang up on me. I mean..what?!

  • lesleydavis Southoftheriver (@lesleydavis) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I tried all that and it’s still not working

  • JonR_1971 Jon Rabbett (@JonR_1971) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not an outage as such. It’s completely intermittent every single day. Drop out, back on, drop out, back on over and over again day in day out. £600 a year I’m paying for this!!

  • neonmoon87 Siobhan (@neonmoon87) reported
