  • fizankhan1 🍁🇬🇧 فیزان (@fizankhan1) reported

    @amiin_khan @virginmedia Their customer service and communication is absolutely shocking. I left sky because they were equally pathetic. Let me know any recommendations on who to go next to.

  • goforsimplicity Sonia 💕 (@goforsimplicity) reported

    No @virginmedia for over 40 min now. And we have this issue almost everyday. What do we pay for seriously... it shows there’s no issues but clearly there’s no internet. #virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • brettclaxton Brett Claxmas ❄️ (@brettclaxton) reported

    @virginmedia I've texted repeatedly. I've called repeatedly. Virgin continues to not sort the problem. When I get promised a call back I do not get it. Also fyi discussing this over here rather than DMing just makes it easier for scammers to contact your customers and try and trick them.

  • M_Driscoll_ Michael Driscoll (@M_Driscoll_) reported

    Hi @virginmedia - eventual spoke to one of your customer services team at 17.30 who couldent help me, when I asked to raise a complaint and to be provided with complaint reference number they hung up on me.

  • MichaelTudor14 Michael Tudor (@MichaelTudor14) reported

    @virginmedia The app shows no issues. I log in to my account in web it shows no issues. I phone 03454541111 I am told there is an issue with no resoluiton@time and no option to talk to anyone.

  • amiin_khan A̶meen (@amiin_khan) reported

    @fizankhan1 @virginmedia Lool I'm with the same service provider, they literally blanked my complaint. I'm considering leaving when my contract is up.

  • JamesFerrier2 James Ferrier (@JamesFerrier2) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Please can you give me the exact cause and issue for incident reference F008677552 please. I'd like to know why so long to fix. Thanks.

  • georgiapeplow_ georgia (@georgiapeplow_) reported

    @virginmedia No, the network was working for about 2/3 weeks then disappeared

  • TheMenFromUGLY Stuart Davison (@TheMenFromUGLY) reported

    @virginmedia My 5ghz wifi signal just stopped working. When I went into the router I found my SSID had been changed to "1" and the password had changed back to the default. Is this a result of Virgin media performing maintenance or have I been hacked?

  • Ssaaiirraa Saira H (@Ssaaiirraa) reported

    @virginmedia Yes its been resolved. When I called the team they were playing a message saying they're aware of the issues in the area so no need to wait an hour to speak to someone
