-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.
-
Nathan (@nathangreen101) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, EnglandHi @virginmedia is there a particular reason your engineers phone to say they are here but never actually turn up?
-
Kelly Walsh (@Kellywalsh758) reported from Stockport, England@virginmedia Iv asked lots of questions that have gotten me no where. To be hung up on over & over. They gave me a date of 17th December for it to have it installed no reasons as to why nothing explained I just think it’s a joke and the costumer service is dreadful. To have to wait 6 weeks!!
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)

Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?
-

Smyth Harper 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.
-
