  • GerryO55591134 GerryO (@GerryO55591134) reported

    @virginmedia Having just spent over two hours on a web-chat trying to get resolution (without success) how can I get a copy/transcript of the session?

  • Franklin_Mca franklin mca (@Franklin_Mca) reported

    @virginmedia What a poor model. So far from your retentions team ‘all you can’ equates to not very much and more than £250 a year more than the competition. I wonder why talk talk are much more competitively priced now compared to you.

  • flissaggie Phyllis Charles (@flissaggie) reported

    @virginmedia my daughter and I can't make any calls can anyone help we are receiving?

  • cheznat Chez (@cheznat) reported

    Virgin Media customer service is absolutely shocking what they do is literally illegal.

  • kickarsefreak Kickarsefreak (@kickarsefreak) reported

    @virginmedia I was put through to a very helpful staff member, James Evans from teesside. Very helpful. Called me back and was very informative. However for it to take a good few months for a staff member to actually care about the customer is shocking

  • ntyas171_neil neil (@ntyas171_neil) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is still not resolved

  • GiggleLegal GiggleLegal (@GiggleLegal) reported

    @virginmedia It's due to you very nearly doubling our charges at the end of a fixed period. DOUBLE! So yes, we'll be going to a new provider and soon, if you'll just let us cancel the dratted contract!

  • PamelaD63704636 Pamela Dean (@PamelaD63704636) reported

    @virginmedia do you help with virgin mobile?
