    @virginmedia I understand that, I told him I did not want to confirm details and would call in my own time, He was then very rude got angry and abrupt! It actually sounded like a scam. I am interested to know if it was virgin media agent as he needs more training!

    Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately your team were really unhelpful so I don’t know what the issue is. A callback was needed because the BB is not working & your staff couldn’t help me any further so promised me callback to either resolve it or cancel the account

    Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @PeterBayliss @Ofcom Must be a local issue for you - I’ve been relying on @ThreeUK for broadband as my @virginmedia 100mbps fibre line has been epically slow even phone calls made on Wifi calling are bad, switch to mobile and it’s perfect 👌

  • msmithuk22
    Martin Smith (@msmithuk22) reported from Warrington, England

    Another week @virginmedia services down yet again, first they screw up my network up resetting everytbing, failing to listen multiple neighbours have no internet. Then call again and agree outage but don’t expect anything back we only compensate for more than 48 hours #badservice

  • lady_leslie
    Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone get in touch re new installation and BB not working, was promised a call back on Saturday & Sunday but it’s not happened. If it can’t be activated I’m happy to go to another supplier but also need to speak to you to cancel

  • lady_leslie
    Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia CW I give up 🤯 I’m happy with the install date they’ve given. The issue is the service, repeat calls and failed promised along with the 143mins calls to you along with an hour on webchat. Erik tells me the charges for calling are my fault as free from virgin but line not active.

  • dave6018
    David (@dave6018) reported from Leyland, England

    @factuk @SkyUK @virginmedia @Facebook Thanks just annoys me, I pay for full tv service and idiots reselling mean I have to pay more for my legal services

  • Bridgey36
    Bridgeman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@Bridgey36) reported from Eccleston, England

    Come on @virginmedia I am still waiting for you to cancel / freeze my sky sports subscription. This is three weeks since I first contacted you.

  • lady_leslie
    Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Because the install date has only been set today. Because your call queues are lengthy & when you get through to someone they don’t know what the issue is so hang up or transfer you elsewhere. I’ve not just called for a chat.

  • jamesjennings_
    James Jennings (@jamesjennings_) reported

    @virginmedia I just spent an hour 20 on the phone for someone to hang up without speaking to an operator. We are paying extra for a booster that does not work! Awful service and provider

  • whild13
    Chris Whild (@whild13) reported

    @virginmedia Done all this. No different. I find I’m turning it on and off everyday to make a small difference for a few hours before issues start again.

  • cdrider1
    Craig (@cdrider1) reported

    @virginmedia Tried to raise a complaint over the phone. Bill wasn’t credited and complaint only to a manager and refused to follow your complaints process and provide a C reference. Keeps the complaint stats down I guess. 3 calls and about 4 hours to fix your mistakes. Absolute shambles 😡

  • BluesnJazzxx
    just me (@BluesnJazzxx) reported

    @O2 since you joined forces with virgin media, it has been physically impossible to speak to any kind of customer service agent either via the app or over the phone. I refuse to waste any more time trying to contact you to discuss my account and would just like to cancel my

  • cdrider1
    Craig (@cdrider1) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn’t have to - and quite frankly can’t be bothered. I’ve been through everything on the phone and told a complaint was raised and it wasn’t done correctly. Waste of my time to do anything else. You’ve got serious staffing issues.

  • SimonKelly14
    Simon Kelly (@SimonKelly14) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your customer services, to report a fault on my Samsung A52, "There is debris or moisture in the charging port." The person I spoke to, said there would be a £120 charge, for a repair, even though the phone is under warranty.

  • Home_Fires

    FFS @virginmedia why send out a letter with a phone number that isn’t answered and then hang up?

  • xoagg03
    Amy George😜 (@xoagg03) reported

    @virginmedia I’m unable to cancel my plan over the phone or via webchat due to my mother having all the details as she forcefully set up the account in my name any help ?
