    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

    @virginmedia Can you cancel my contract?

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • _samhowell
    ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

    Shauna Campbell (@happymum2005) reported

    @PeteUK7 @LucyGoBag @virginmedia That’s appalling. Though for even their ‘apology response’ to get community noted is quite a spectacular fail!

  • kerriknibbs
    Kerri Knibbs (@kerriknibbs) reported

    @Grumpus04164070 @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Different company but similar issue. Was asked when I wanted my late husband’s acc to cease. Went ballistic. I didn’t “want” & you don’t use the term “cease” in death. Became a long saga.

  • fig2k4
    DerekL0576 (@fig2k4) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Or put a new contract in your partner's name and cancel yours. Done that before, they don't care.

  • mrsluc
    Sandra Robinson (@mrsluc) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I may be alone here, but I got a 18 month contract for less than I was paying for previous 18 months. Offer just came up on my phone. Alone again but I have never had an issue wth @virginmedia

  • Refan80
    Corax (@Refan80) reported

    @virginmedia The fix estimate is not 11am tomorrow and not 5pm today. This is unacceptable, and don't tell me to check the link it tells us nothing. I want an actual human to tell me what is going on. For what you charge the service is piss poor.

  • NJWesthead
    NJW (@NJWesthead) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia 6 weeks after contract to be considered a new customer. I’ll be doing that in August. So I’ll have to send their hub back to them, for them to send me one back 6 weeks later. What’s the point?

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @ProfChocCaXe @virginmedia Nothing personal? How much more personal than intimating you know my mother's cause of death can you be? Having gone through 3 months of trauma watching her die a slow and painful death, how welcome do you suppose your comments are? I am grieving her loss and people like you are the lowest of the low.

  • yamesh
    Yamesh (@yamesh) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry What rubbish - you refused to offer me the same rate as a new customer to recontract. Instead your 'value' offer was £55/month. Moved to Sky for £35.

    @virginmedia What a disgrace of a company terrible customer service. Trying to speak someone is a nightmare
