-
V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England@virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service
-
Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, EnglandI think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

-
The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.
-
Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub
-

DC (@dc250705) reported@virginmedia 13 hours until you notify by text that something is wrong…communication quite crap isn’t it. Now told not fixed until 0200
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported@virginmedia If you check the DMs I’ve sent you 42 messages in the last 16 days. You have replied to lots of them. But you have never been able to tell me why the fix is taking so long, whether/when any engineering staff have actually turned up to look at our cabling, or when it will be fixed
-
Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reported@virginmedia If you talk to your legal department they can explain to you the significance of an “address for service”. It’s a physical address, not a link. By continuing prevarication you are exposing your employer to ridicule - and in plain sight. I ask again - please answer the question.
-
Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported@virginmedia @pholmes38 Repeatedly sent messages/emails explaining the issues. You don’t appear to know what you are doing. Awful customer service. Paddy Sweeney

Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
-
Dmh (@Dmhches) reported@virginmedia I am having wi fi issues now, I haven’t been able to access the red button on sky sports for some time now and frankly I’m fed up. Please can you advise on the current wi fi issues and what options I have for exiting my contract without penalty
