    @virginmedia The issue is some of the ports in the back don't work, we get occasional dips in the internet's which some days don't reach the amount we pay for and the webpage says we can upgrade our hub but can only be done on the phone to see we can't get hold of anyone.

    @virginmedia more of your appalling customer service!!!! Spend over 90 minutes on your chat help “service” trying to resolve an issue and your agent takes a break. When he returns and I don’t reply as I’m getting lunch I get cut off. And guess what?

    @virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.

    Yeah I'm just gonna point out that I couldn't give a **** about the boxing Boxing is a sport that's become corrupt like the Brazilian government, money driven like a Latin American drug lord, so yeah, I'm not paying £25, on top of the £126 I pay to @virginmedia every month

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I “chatted” last week. Your only solution was me paying for a service I cancelled. I “chatted” yesterday to both departments that could apparently help. Neither could unless I paid for a service I cancelled. More chat? Which department this time??

    @virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?

    @virginmedia New contract Jul 31. Netflix completely broken, web throwing errors, and profile is showing an incorrect phone number that isn't mine. Called, used WhatsApp, zero help. Logged formal complaint and got a generic 28-day wait. Unacceptable customer service. Fix this.

THEN HERES PROOF THAT COMPANY ARE A BUNCH OF CRUEL UNETHICAL IMMORAL SCAMMERS YOU DONT THINK IF THEY CAPABLE OF DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY CAPABLE OF DOING TO A WOMAN THEY HATE AND NO DOUBT JEALOUS OF here’s some confirmed validated real evidence NOT THEM BEING FRAMED that the staff at Virgin media call centres were all pardoned allowed to scam MILLIONS of their customers Here is proof Copied and pasted from Google please refer to articles in the press that confirm this what I’ve tweeted here If you think moral decent people do this to their customers scamming them in a cruel cold way SEEK JESUS  Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by Ofcom in July 2026 for deliberately making it difficult for customers to cancel their contracts and switch to rival providers. Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS
