  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the best way to report a fault without having to go to offshore fault peeps and go through off the turn off switch on again? My WiFi is horrific, and only affects WiFi intermittent service and it disables. Done all the usuals it's knackered WiFi on router.

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia are your call centre staff ***************? Ones just been an idiot to me sounded like he couldn't be arsed while ones just sent me down a line that rings out constantly for 20 minutes. Both asked me different security questions and one flat out refused

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    Hi at @virginmedia do you have a contact email address for complaints. Your internet service over the past month has been absolutely awful! Pay for 350mb broadband and currently at the moment having it drop maybe 10-15 times a day and lose all connections.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia We've logged a complaint There was an outage planned for all day Tuesday due to issues in our area. The outage lasted THREE days Piss poor service and no contact to warn us about the extension Am monitoring now as lost trust and confidence You may lose a longstanding customer

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Well I was meant to be getting a phone back at 1 to speak to the manager, because of how one of your customer service spoke to me earlier on but no phone call

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia are a bag of ******* shite. Mis-sold me broadband and then then told me I was lying ahaha. It’s on recording ***, go **** yourselves you bunch of *********

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia I probably would have given them the benefit of the doubt and stayed on when moving house but they can **** off. Hope you have better luck next time 👍

  • tonycarroll14 Tony Carroll (@tonycarroll14) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi guys, was wondering if you could please help my Virgin isn't working!

  • FarnworthHarold Harold Farnworth (@FarnworthHarold) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia what a waste of time promised refund for 3 days no internet or tv .no refund then put bill up customer service a joke over 1 hour to get through

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia Exactly the same happened to me just, even had one of the call centre staff say I would've get a dead line when I told her I definitely will. She still transferred me down a dead line. Got told that changing provider isn't a good enough excuse to leave. Its my choice! 😡

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia That's mental, the options for the departments don't make sense either. To change your package, moving home or thinking of leaving us press 4.I press 4,how can I help you, thinking of leaving you, we can't do that here we will have to transfer you to another department.**** off

  • PennyArcade10 Mr Spgt (@PennyArcade10) reported

    @virginmedia Stay connected? I disconnect 5/6 times daily. No reason. Raised complaint, 4 failed contacts later I called Liberty Global. Engineer changed hub. Still the same. About 6 weeks later a letter came. Complaint would close if I didn't contact them by... 10 days ago. Please help.

  • KirstenClareA KirstenA (@KirstenClareA) reported

    @virginmedia All I want is to cancel my tv. That’s it. Yet for 3 months I’ve been ignored. Gareth told me my tv is free so I’m due no refund - which I am for this delay. I pay £58 a month for tv & internet. Why is he saying tv is free? I asked for clarification & he ignored. 3 times.

  • Piney88 Piney (@Piney88) reported

    @virginmedia 4 hours so far invested in trying to call to cancel my contract. Any tips on how to actually get someone & keep them on the phone to help me?

  • gillespiejam James Gillespie (@gillespiejam) reported

    @virginmedia Home. But because its been more than 40 days I'm barred from this option and I'd have to register as a new customer. I have two children, I work from home due to the lockdown. I have called almost everyday to understand my options but still nothing done.

  • KirstenClareA KirstenA (@KirstenClareA) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I have complained several times over 3 months. Phone/official complaint/chat.Someone here called Gareth told me to email him.He suddenly stopped replying & my TV is still not cancelled & you are still charging me. I am sick & registered disabled & asked repeatedly for help.
