-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@VirginMedia We’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. This is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently.
-
Amber Carter ⎊ (@ambo1992) reported@virginmedia been trying to get through on live chat all day, it now appears to be completely broken. WhatsApp option doesn’t work either. Please can anyone help? Impossible to get through by any means

Emerfly66 @CLLIreland @LCovidirl. #Free Palestine (@Emer49034181) reportedNot only that but they said they’d call me to discuss next steps . What next steps @VirginMediaIE ?!! What could I possibly contribute to solving the issue. This isn’t good enough @virginmedia. I have friends also experiencing problems with VM .

-
Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported@bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.
