    @virginmedia can you confirm whether there are any broadband issues in the Bromley Cross area of Bolton as my internet went down at 6pm last evening and will still not connect

  • nevynxxx nevynxxx (@nevynxxx) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia I understand your call centres are suffering, but 2 hours for text chat support and a phone line that 4 menu levels deep hangs up is not good enough. Massively annoyed and time wasted.

    @virginmedia the worse customer services ever! Passed to 4 different departments for 15 mins only to be cut off.

  • maggsheap Maggie Heap (@maggsheap) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia DO NOT listen to their customers. Six times I have asked them to contact me after 6.00 pm only for their staff to ring me while I am in work and are really rude when I say its not convenient to talk. @virginmedia do one and stop harrassing me

    @virginmedia Just had cold call from someone who introduced themselves as one of your technicians and wanted to carry out some diagnosis of our broadband connection. Number was 01249 326377. I am a customer. Genuine call from support team?

  • Hikari_Yamii Josh (@Hikari_Yamii) reported

    @virginmedia how do you have area outages in the same area 2 days apart? How are you that shambolically bad as a company?

  • DellB0II Dell Boii (@DellB0II) reported

    @virginmedia Internet was working yesterday speed was very slow, but was working. Now today no internet at all. Got a notification that the outage has been fixed still not working, getting ridiculous now. @virginmedia

  • 8_Bea_8 Bea (@8_Bea_8) reported

    Absolutely appalling customer service from @virginmedia. They've started my elderly fathers contract before the service is available and now expect him to wait a month without internet. I'll be cancelling it and not using @Virgin again for broadband.

  • Hikari_Yamii Josh (@Hikari_Yamii) reported

    @virginmedia why is no one communicating? I told you about this problem 8 hours ago
