    Low and behold... @vmbusiness is down again on the first work day of the week. Makes me wonder how often this happens and I’m normally in the office so don’t notice... I can’t wait to one day move to somewhere where another provider can connect me to fibre optic internet

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @jmarchy @virginmedia Been alright with us so far mate. But the service today has been absolutely woeful. Nobody has been able to give me an answer, so basically I’m currently paying for something I’m not getting.

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia My service is faulty because I don’t have it. We moved home two weeks ago and were told someone would be here yesterday to install. Nobody turned up. And now nobody can tell me exactly when I should expect someone!

  • timpwade Tim Wade (@timpwade) reported

    @virginmedia Partner has lodged a complaint. Still unclear if our account has been cancelled. Unacceptable to be repeatedly subject to the same questions and unable to cancel. We have been loyal customers for years but will not be returning.

  • chillglos Claire Hill (@chillglos) reported

    @virginmedia I wanted to cancel and was talked into staying. Why can’t anyone ring me?? I really don’t have an hour to waste whilst I wait for call to be answered

  • DanielIgnorante El Ignorante Habló (@DanielIgnorante) reported

    @virginmedia That's the problem, I called 2 times at that number and the call was cutted 2 times. On second call I thing I was close to have what I want (renew my 100Mb contract with the winter offer of 27£, we are paying 45!!), but one moment I was put w8ing again and the call was cutted

  • Fuck_Puppy **** Puppy (@Fuck_Puppy) reported

    @CollegeJocks @virginmedia @LutzSchueler I would say time for a new box, demand one, if they refuse you can early terminate with out a penilty as they not providing the service also request back you previous subs, then just take out a new contract and get a new box. Or go to ofcom, its been over days.

  • rightleftdivide Kev (Swansea) (@rightleftdivide) reported

    Regretting my decision to stick with @virginmedia for my broadband. They are awful and their customer service is non-existent!!
