  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • SalesRemedy Terry Carney 👋 (@SalesRemedy) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia Ongoing issues; On ZOOM lag issue. On Netflix during viewing stops, whirls and often crashes. Day to day work, slow load on web browsers, crashes daily even with Ethernet run to office in house. Upgraded recently now £114 a month and still awful WiFi. How do I cancel my contract?

  • BenThapa82 Ben Thapa (@BenThapa82) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    @virginmedia None of this answers the question of what happens when your service goes down.

  • clowee Chloe Hipwood (@clowee) reported from Haverhill, England

    Fancy doing anything about shockingly slow broadband speeds in some rural Tier 4 areas? Video chat for elderly residents in these areas during Christmas should be a given not a luck. @bt_uk @virginmedia @SkyUK . #loneliness #tier4 #christmascancelled

  • simonfromharlow SfH (@simonfromharlow) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @ChrisOnTheBus @virginmedia *sigh* I’m not a customer and have never used them. I install things for clients.

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia My Internet has cut out twice this morning for a few mins. I am in Bishop’s Stortford, Herts. Are you having problems in this area?

  • jharm91 James (@jharm91) reported from Haverhill, England

    @skirglepips @gayxchange04 @virginmedia @CherylHoleQueen It’s probably good to know that the xfactor is so produced that the good and the bad singers are often head hunted and told what to sing for good tv

  • Chezzyp68 Cheron Phillips🇧🇧 (@Chezzyp68) reported from Stansted Mountfitchet, England

    @virginmedia That I still need to have an engineer attend. I keep getting mixed messages! Had to book one for next Saturday. Potentially that could be 2 weeks without a full service

  • STrimnell Simon Trimnell (@STrimnell) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    What is wrong with #virginmedia again tonight wifi slow and signal terrible been like it all week diet it out @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

  • BenThapa82 Ben Thapa (@BenThapa82) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    @virginmedia That’s not what I asked. I asked where I can return your box to. You don’t provide a service to my address. I’ve screenshot this non-response in case you try and charge me for non-return.

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?
