  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Not sure what this will do. There has been regular outages in the area for over a week. Your call centre told me today that this should now be fixed and will not reoccur. We will see if this is the case when the service eventually returns.

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia so my services, since being installed have not worked more than they have worked. As first impressions go this is very bad. If this isn’t fixed by this afternoon I will cancel my services as im still within 14 days cooling period.

    @virginmedia Only way you can restore my faith is if you close down for good you are a disgrace of a company. And I have been dealing with chief execs office and that is where the lies are coming from so don't see how ringing cilustomer services will help except waste more of my time.
