  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

    @virginmedia I've done all this. The issue is still remaining intermittantly.

  • Veraithy Veraithy (@Veraithy) reported

    @virginmedia Have checked the service and everything seems to be fine haven't called up yet though

  • gibson0410 Gibson (@gibson0410) reported

    @virginmedia So another platform that virginmedia can't help customers on, seems to be a pattern evolving here, the platform that your company says to use doesn't work and clearly visible from my experience and having seen loads of reviews, something has to change

  • stevelewis333 Steven Lewis (@stevelewis333) reported

    @virginmedia No, they said it's because of some permission issue but the whole job is on our land so that makes no sense.

  • citizen40352359 citizenA (@citizen40352359) reported

    @virginmedia 72 hrs and no resolution .....

  • erm2urm Urm (@erm2urm) reported

    @virginmedia The strength of signal that VM promise was nowhere near what I pay for. I did the usual turn off etc to no avail. The signal is now at 300 mbps, whereas its usually around 700+. Still a way off from up to 1000 mbps as advertised.

  • MarkBoy88635834 Mark Boyd (@MarkBoy88635834) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on? Using the internet via 4G it says there are no problems in my area, but when you phone up, it is a known problem, but there is intermittent service. This is not so as no internet for at least a week. Als told no fix until 15 March. Help please.

  • 1234hsgsauaban Amy Kelly (@1234hsgsauaban) reported
