  • welchris Chris Welch (@welchris) reported

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone human. Constant issue with wifi

  • optimusjrprime - (@optimusjrprime) reported

    @virginmedia actually a disgrace. claim to have fixed the wifi issues in my area but all you did was reduce it from cutting out regularly from 7.30pm onwards to now having a tonne of packet loss exclusively from that time onwards. what’s actually wrong with your service, awful.

  • TechnikAli Ali (@TechnikAli) reported

    @virginmedia how is it possible that every call we've made to virgin customer service has made our situation worse when trying to move house? You've left us without internet for two weeks

  • clazzy70 Claire Sinclair (@clazzy70) reported

  • ShaunHargreave2 The Bogey Barber (@ShaunHargreave2) reported

    @AMasiey @British_Airways If they're anything like @virginmedia you've no chance been trying to cancel my contract for a week and just keep getting past from pillar to post or just put on hold for an eternity or even worse when I do get to speak to someone I get cut off & have to start again.😟😟
