    @virginmedia So where does this put me (and my wife who has the same issue) with our contracts! Are you saying we can terminate without penalty given the circumstances?

  • 84DM Dharmesh Mistry (@84DM) reported

    @virginmedia Can you let me know how you are going compensate me as I am having to use my mobile data to WFH as virgin media have cut me off. I would like to make a formal complaint please let me know where I should write to

  • GunsForShow87 Joe Westney (@GunsForShow87) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for coming back to me. Yes the service checker was what told me it was down but with no reason why. The estimated time to fix was over 15hrs but fortunately the issue was resolved in around 3hrs.

  • markwoturner Mark Turner (@markwoturner) reported

    @OpenreachHelp @SkyHelpTeam day 12 of no internet. I’ve made countless phone calls to try and get this fixed and have had to resort to taking out a 30 day @virginmedia contract as internet essential for WFH over school summer holidays. Wish I never left them in the first place.

  • RobertR34431841 Robert Ring (@RobertR34431841) reported

    @virginmedia This is why your customer service is so terrible. You leave a pensioner without the use of her phone and without the ability to pay bills due to aggressive collections agents! It’s an absolute joke!!!

  • darewithdata Dáre • tangping (@darewithdata) reported

    Looking to change broadband providers and it seems #onestream have the best deal in my area. But there are so many negative reviews about the customer service, I’ve already suffered with #VirginMedia

  • lulu_spellman1 Lulu Spellman (@lulu_spellman1) reported

    @virginmedia It’s today though@im not hopeful the issues will be resolved as the second line hasn’t been installed and your sending an internal install engineer again. I will be submitting a full complaint as will my daughter who holds the separate account. I need help to resolve not a link
