  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0) (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Yet again an intermittent service in Area 20 BL1 2 this has now gone beyond a joke, paying for a service and not getting it

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • tbradman Tony Bradman (@tbradman) reported

    @virginmedia ‘Average wait times are an hour’ - and what point is there in doing that anyway? I’ve learned that @virginmedia carries on in its own sweet time and has zero interest in providing any service to its customers.

  • nivas2in vas vangaveti (@nivas2in) reported

    @virginmedia I know you will say this , you guys don’t even answer the calls and just imagine how long the complaint process will go. If you can and if you want to help me please get someone from technical teal call me

  • Tallpaul60101 Paul (@Tallpaul60101) reported

    @virginmedia Dont have one, thats how I logged the complaint, I was cold transferred to wrong departments for hours then someone in Swansea said they would raise the complaint. Haven't heard a peep since. And I'm not spending hours on the phone again.

  • xFabss Fabs (@xFabss) reported

    @virginmedia And your call customer support doesn’t help atall because I keep trying to speak to someone and all I get on every option is the robot

  • Wednesday_IC Wendy (@Wednesday_IC) reported

    @virginmedia This isn’t me. This isn’t my house or my router. This is your problem.

  • Rayafadil Raya Fadil (@Rayafadil) reported

    @virginmedia Very bad service! Untrustworthy and poor unprofessional communication !

  • NathalieRaffray Nathalie Raffray (@NathalieRaffray) reported

    Just what you need on print deadline day: cripplingly slow constantly crashing WiFi and appalling mobile call connectivity. ‘No network issue found’ says @virginmedia status finder...

  • sairey666 Steven Airey (@sairey666) reported

    @virginmedia It's been 24 hours and nothing has happened. What a surprise All I want to do is cancel my broadband. Why is that so difficult. Your online help facility is useless.

  • tbradman Tony Bradman (@tbradman) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t even know why I’m bothering with this. As I said, I have no broadband and your Call Centre - on that number - I’d telling me there’s an outage in my area. I’ve called that number every day for 12 days with the same result.

  • educueto Edu Cueto Sola ۞🔻 (@educueto) reported
