Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

@virginmedia Well if your team would response to my complaint, or even provide the call data when your Sales Rep “Fully Explained” these exit fees in a script and I agreed I understood them. Hopefully the DSAR request will only take the official 30 day period, rather than the 45 Scott said!

@virginmedia A day off work. But not for the Internet which has been down since 7. 32 when the clock connected to the Internet stopped

(@Michael_Hartt) reported
@virginmedia Was told box would arrive next day. So, not really. Now will stay home for four hours on Sat waiting for engineer to bring new box. Seems illogical, right? How do I file complaint, since effort by phone led to retention dept hanging up on me? #VirginMedia
-
Michael Hartt
(@Michael_Hartt) reported
@virginmedia After tech said "you need new box, we will ship, no, now we will require tech visit", I asked for cust service. Was put to retention, who said "we can lower bill in return for inconvenience". Only when I pushed twice on "does this lock in new contract" told "yes 18mo minimum".

@virginmedia This appears to be a forum of virgin users and there is no official post about the current outage. I'll try and call later to arrange one thanks for your help.
