  • CaseyMcCabeee Casey McCabe (@CaseyMcCabeee) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I have tried to get through to someone on your live chat, when I select exsisting customer I get told everyone is busy. If I select new customer I get through straight away. What a way to treat existing loyal customers!

  • MineMurat18 Mine Murat (@MineMurat18) reported

    @virginmedia We cancel & instead of cancelling our contract, you cancel someone else's & try to blame it on us! Shame on you for not acknowledging & rectifying this, for trying to make us pay another month, for refusing us a manager to speak to. Good job Ethan! Lost 2 contracts!

  • benjaminp_ Benjamin (@benjaminp_) reported

    @virginmedia How can I contact you via live chat? I never get the option an I've just been on hold for 30+ minutes waiting for someone to "run some tests".

  • FLiverpool1892 ForzaLiverpool1892 (@FLiverpool1892) reported

    @virginmedia what’s going on!? My whole service has gone down in SL4! Just before game about to start!? #shambles

  • jmce95 john (@jmce95) reported

  • Slave2Grind Slave2Grind (@Slave2Grind) reported

    Seriously, what is @virginmedia problem, been on the phone for over an hour, spoke with 4 People and got no where, hub is connecting, disconnecting intermittently, had enough

  • JMATOG1 JMTAOG1 (@JMATOG1) reported

    ******* @virginmedia gone down just as the football starts

  • william_quirke William (@william_quirke) reported

    @virginmedia We have discussed this already through DM. @comreg @conor_pope. I just can't understand when multiple virgin users lose connection at the same time on different devices in the same region, that it has nothing to do with Virgin's service.

  • potholecityuk Pothole city (@potholecityuk) reported

    @virginmedia A standard copy and paste message. I doubt your engineers are working on it they are probably down the pub watching the football i’ve just been at the location nobody there 😡

  • johndonato84 Gianluigi Donato (@johndonato84) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for clarifying, I was already aware of the process! As no resolution has been offered I have requested the letter! Holding on for 10 more days!

  • _AntzTheGreat Antøniø (@_AntzTheGreat) reported
