  • andrewtlynch Andrew Lynch (@andrewtlynch) reported

    Being barraged by someone claiming to be from @virginmedia (using a real business number), promising to help me with my internet connection if I can turn on my computer . . . Unfortunately they didn't know my customer number or post code. #phonescam

  • TooOldTooCold Pert Soomann (@TooOldTooCold) reported

    @jonmunson @virginmedia They haven't been tooooo bad, free speed upgrade was nice, but the constant existing customer snub for any decent offers is getting kinda old 🙄

  • AndyLGAtkins Andy Atkins (@AndyLGAtkins) reported

    Hi @virginmedia my service has become so unreliable, I can no longer work from home. It's no longer stable enough for VOIP calls. There does not seem to be a way to talk to a person about this. I am constantly routed to your automatic diagnostic checks. Can someone please help?

  • katebarrowclou1 kate barrowclough (@katebarrowclou1) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. With the greatest respect, I do not wish to rely on any Tom **** and Harry to try to help on a community forum - I need virgin m customer service to solve the problem.

  • mandy_unsworth Mandy unsworth (@mandy_unsworth) reported

    Is there a problem with the internet @virginmedia? My internet had just gone now again and hasn’t come back on, i have 2 children trying to do their work. It’s not the first time is has happened, it’s been dropping in and out for a while. Please get it sorted!

  • Tabbers1968 Stats T (@Tabbers1968) reported

    @virginmedia There is a requirement to lay cable. But after three visits and many hours of calls, no-one has updated with an ETD or given any status update, and I'm not prepared to waste more of my time chasing something that is your responsibility, is keeping the customer informed.

  • RNewDatingCoach London Dating Coach (@RNewDatingCoach) reported

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract but there doesn't seem to be any way to get in touch ... No one ever answers the phone.

  • MarcusDeaves Marcus Deaves 🍸 Cocktails (@MarcusDeaves) reported

    @virginmedia Difficult to do that when you’re off-line, but yes, I’ve checked using my mobile phone. Often there are service issues, (the whole of last week & weekend) sometimes there isn’t an explanation. Emailed warning of planned service issues would be appreciated.

  • nicocary Nico Cary (@nicocary) reported

    @virginmedia 12 weeks of outage ...
