  • MadRabbitLady75 Hannah McKay (@MadRabbitLady75) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia They answered, established they couldn't sell me a new product then told me to phone back in the day my contract ends and immediately hung up.. If it was clearly stated online in your info "don't phone us to cancel until your contract ends" I'd have saved 35 minutes of my day..

  • Joe95976011 Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Is there an issue with accessing emails? I can access my @blueyonder emails but my wife can't. When logging into the VM site a message appears "your mailbox is not available at the moment" Awaiting urgent emails. Thanks

  • CryptoDan2k CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @Huawei21327032 @virginmedia They tried to charge 30quid a month for piss which isn't the issue it's a mix of virgin media kit and also the line. Spent 2 gars studying CISCO networking CCNA and they think I don't know what I'm talking about

  • StuartWilksHeeg Stuart Wilks-Heeg (@StuartWilksHeeg) reported from Seaforth, England

    I literally cannot distinguish between real @virginmedia customer service calls and the scammers. And this isn't because the scammers have suddenly got very good.

  • MadRabbitLady75 Hannah McKay (@MadRabbitLady75) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia After over 4 hours on chat it's dealt with thank you...... nearly 5 hours in total to terminate my services.....

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It’s taken 4hrs to get your incompetent team to cancel the package properly. Now there is just the matter of the Overdue bill and the final bill.

  • KeithJBolton Keith Bolton (@KeithJBolton) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia WA9 4SA no Internet. Says no issues in my area but obviously there is

  • MissDonnaCooke Cookie (@MissDonnaCooke) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia @its_coco_do Well I've clearly been forgotten conveniently after calling telling an agent I want to cancel my order and being cut off. Promised a call back. Nothing. Every time I call I get dropped. Ridiculous

  • jonathansc Jonathan SC ن Esq. (@jonathansc) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Thank you for the update - how can you more that 12 hours after the incident occurred only just be sending an engineer to try and fix @virginmedia

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia not used my package for 4 weeks. You said you would send someone out to reconnect, which never happened, you keep passing me to different departments. you still have the cheek to send me a bill. Still waiting for the free return package to send your equipment back

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Turns out your team didn’t cancel my package, like I wanted. Absolutely 🤬 joke.

  • cbray72 Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi Just to let U know I got a automated Landline phone message 2day from Phone number 020 7097 1695 Saying to press Option 1 Saying That my internet provider service will disconnect my services within 24 hours it’s a scam I didn’t even attempt to press option 1.

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 30 day cancellation is nearly up, just waiting on the returns packaging to arrive. But don’t see why I have to pay £150 for a service I’ve not been able to use for a month

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Can this be done while the Wi-Fi is down? We recently lost FOUR days service but "hadn't complained properly!!" So couldn't claim!!

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Chatting to your customer service team, she blaming me for disconnecting the chat but it’s you lot

  • MissDonnaCooke Cookie (@MissDonnaCooke) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry really trying to be chill but this is horrendous customer service. Cut off after 40 mins, call back which I answer immediately and cut off again. No further attempt from your team to contact me. I've told them i want to cancel my order can you please confirm?

  • GillChantler Gill Chantler (@GillChantler) reported

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK Hey @virginmedia I am being charged £59.25 for my monthly broadband as I've come out of my old deal and am being charged this crazy expensive new rate. I wish to cancel. In the UK you have a cooling off period of x14 days.

  • ianinsurbiton IAN IN SURBITON (@ianinsurbiton) reported

    @virginmedia No. I've wasted too much of my time. Your CEO will appreciate my email as it highlights areas of concern for the safety of those with emergency phone systems. Well he will or the investigative journalists will.....

  • candissplays Can (@candissplays) reported

    @virginmedia has one of the worst customer service lines lmao i swear

  • Clem20886422 Clem (@Clem20886422) reported

    @virginmedia - 1 hour on the phone this morning to get through. The customer retention department promised a call at 4.30pm today - no call, or contact. Joke.

  • TilsLatimer Tilly Latimer (@TilsLatimer) reported

    Currently suffering absolutely appalling service from @vmbusiness, who seem not to care that my business has been without internet since Sunday. @vmbusiness you're supposed to fix issues within 12 hours. Currently telling me an engineer can't come out until Saturday. Useless.

  • samwhite1992 Sam White (@samwhite1992) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I can login to my account but can't access my emails

  • samwhite1992 Sam White (@samwhite1992) reported

    @virginmedia Or this message "Oops, we've ran into a problem. Wait a minute and try again. If this doesn't work, please come back later. (Code: DEF01)"

  • Tweety5512 Teisha Ryan (@Tweety5512) reported

    @virginmedia then today texted twice and told the engineer is on site to fix the issue, estimated repair time 18:00. Few hours later another text comes to let us know the good news, problem identified, an engineer is on the way, estimated fix time 30/01. the outrage continue
