  • Victori41679911 Victoria (@Victori41679911) reported

    @virginmedia we are the victims of fraud from within Virgin. We have contacted your staff 6+ times to resolve this & still we await a reply. We’ve cancelled bank cards to protect ourselves as you clearly have no intention of resolving it. Please help!

  • estherbeadle Esther Beadle (@estherbeadle) reported

    @virginmedia You don’t need my help to get it addressed and I think it’s pretty shocking VM keeps asking. Someone in VM needs to do their job and revise how reported bereavements are dealt with instead of asking actual bereaved people who have their own jobs to do it for them.

  • realjtk James T Kelly (@realjtk) reported

    @virginmedia Think I need a new router. Internet isn’t working properly on WiFi but your tests show there’s no connection issues. I’ve done everything including a factory reset and it’s still not working. I rely on the Internet for my work, so I need it sorting ASAP.

  • humy8 Humy Zaman (@humy8) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you ZR. I do appreciate your efforts. I’m sure efforts are@being made by the technicians but sadly not by customer services or your website/recorded information people who’s right hand doesn’t seem to know what it’s left is doing.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  • NunquamD Nunquam Dormio (@NunquamD) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. And apparently you aren’t going to fix it until 10:00 tomorrow.
