  • salfordbeerfest
    Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That doesn't tell me anything. Just that the engineers ".. are working hard to fix it....." The service has been down since 7 last night. And no idea when it will be fixed. With zero redress after 4 incidents in a little over a week. Poor.

    @virginmedia intermittent broadband service in our area for the past week, told it will take another week to fix. Want to change service provider but told must pay a penalty for early termination (for a service they are unable to provide?). Great customer service.

  • graeme1878
    Graeme (@graeme1878) reported

    @virginmedia are you willing to just let a customer of 9 years go so easily like that or was it half arsed by your staff member that all he could do was the most basic and not even try and get my partner to stay with yourselves.

    Lovie35 (@freethinker495) reported

    @virginmedia Just under 2 weeks later and still no resolution. This has now been going on over a month and all the service checker says is they are aware but the date of repair is consistently getting delayed. This is absolutely poor.
