    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia If they mess me about, I'll simply move. I was lied to, ignored and never resolved with @TalkTalk - and they have the cheek to send me rubbish about how they "miss" me. Try doing anything with 0.3mbs.

  • jasonpblakey Jason Blakey (@jasonpblakey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AaronTheClarke @virginmedia That’s awful. They are a terrible company to deal with. Good luck getting it sorted

  • rich_pemberton Rich Pemberton (@rich_pemberton) reported from Solihull, England

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That’s says no known issues. So I think there’s an issue with that too. Broadband doesn’t appear on any searches it’s like it’s disappeared . There’s an engineer coming tomorrow

    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia I sincerely hope you don't end up with a fault. I was with @TalkTalk for many years until a fault last year. Quite honestly the worst company of any description I have ever dealt with. Totally failed to resolve, now much happier on @virginmedia

  • AngryDallas Andy (@AngryDallas) reported

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the adapter, I rang customer services last night to tell them and was told that would be sent out to me. Told I would receive confirmation of that but just received an email today saying my account is ready for a phone upgrade yet.

  • magicfauvrelle David Fauvrelle (@magicfauvrelle) reported

    @virginmedia Waiting all day today for Engineers to turn up. No ones turned up. Calling your customers service number is useless to get an ETA. Are they still coming? Its obviously night time not sure how your engineers going to do exterior work at night. Had organise access for them.

  • vivhaig Viv Haig (@vivhaig) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all of that and my phone is saying ‘Check phone line’. My land line has been off since last Friday. Ever since it was swapped over to your fibre network and the new adapter fitted to the back of the router. I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving.

  • mejuliemcspirit Jayne (@mejuliemcspirit) reported

    @virginmedia This is not good customer service. I asked for a third sim to be sent by a different delivery company or by recorded to reach me on saturday. I do not feel that is impossible. I was told no

  • FullyScouser Kieron Francis (@FullyScouser) reported

    @virginmedia The internet in our house has began to regularly cut out and refuse to reconnect for hours at a time. As someone who works from home but doesn't own the Internet box, what can I do? (We've done all the standard restart, power off for 30 secs stuff)
