  • queenie64339913 Researcher (@queenie64339913) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate your quick response but there is never any different advice other than testing the router or reset.

  • dohkell Brown. (@dohkell) reported

    @Taimoor05435737 @virginmedia If after waiting for a long time and then going through crazy checks which will be asked for again, we get through to a call centre and speak to a person who has never actually used VM. It's a crazy set up, but cheap I suspect. Total waste if time

  • MonkeyBullocks Matt Bullock (@MonkeyBullocks) reported

    @virginmedia I have a customer support query about your customer support. I'm an "active customer" who never received any equipment (router, etc.), should the Pre-Install Team be responsible for helping me, or someone else? I get different answers depending on the department!

  • DanBarl02044786 Dan Barlow (@DanBarl02044786) reported

    @virginmedia it's still open. Web chat team has said they will arrange a call back in 24 hours. Sorry I was expecting this call 15 days ago. Still don't believe this has been passed back to to complaints department for then to contact me. Can you help on this matter before I go to the CISAS

  • Galhered Graham Jennings (@Galhered) reported

    What is wrong with @virginmedia ? I have raised complaints and get no calls only "we tried to call you" and they clearly have not! The 1gig broadband is a joke. They cant support their latest Hub and help is unhelpful!
