  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • delfender D Fender (@delfender) reported

    Multiple houses in our estate @virginmedia has been down since yesterday and yet they won't accept there is an outage problem so we are all having to wait for individual engineers to come out. How many houses have to be without internet before you accept it's not a router issue?

  • budgie1001 KT🍒 (@budgie1001) reported

    @virginmedia this really is not good enough. This happens all the time. The phone can work fine one min and then cut you off mid phone call another. I am beyond digusted with this - what is there is an emergency and they need to call 999?! They are elderly and unwell!!

    @VirginMedia - Please get yourself sorted out!! It's been over a week, the link to your bundles doesn't work. I have VirginMedia and get "Bad Request" when I try to get on your web page!! I'm getting ripped off with 'out of contract' fees and can't see your offers.

  • lorrainemuir Lolly74 (@lorrainemuir) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but no I’m with talk talk however it was virgin media open reach guys out installing cables within the area. Can’t get an engineer out till Wednesday and I work from home. It was just the attitude of the manager &the fact the engineers spoke little English so couldn’t help
