  • FplFranco FPL Franco (James) (@FplFranco) reported

    @virginmedia I am still experiencing these intermittent drops in connection and once again an engineer has not turned up because of a wider issue not related to my drops in connection! I'm getting very frustrated, the issue has been happening for weeks and isn't related to the outages 😡

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported

    @virginmedia Just got through to someone at your customer service who was absolutely disgusting and rude , wouldn’t help an cut me off . Take this message as my notice 👍 cheers

  • PhotoExpozure Andrew Jones (@PhotoExpozure) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusted with the service on WhatsApp. Just going around in circles with the whole conversation. I have already registered my interest and yet was told an engineer would need to visit. No date give. But then was told the services are not in the area.

  • jonduffie84 Jon Duffield (@jonduffie84) reported

    @virginmedia I plan to speak with someone tonight as I will be contact my back to stop the payment. I'm sure if I don't pay u will be able to talk to me then for a resolution

  • wjanderson91 Will Anderson (@wjanderson91) reported

    @virginmedia John, Can you please find a way to contact me directly as I don’t have enough characters in a tweet to explain the ways in which we have been let down by @virginmedia

  • RodolfoZorrilla Rodolfo Zorrilla (@RodolfoZorrilla) reported

    @virginmedia useless customer service staff, requested return box 3 times to collect the old crappy superhub and never came, charged me £40 pounds for that. Imagine how many customers getting charge for your own mistakes.
