  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • martin_avery Martin Avery (@martin_avery) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems with your broadband connections in the NE15 area ?, it’s been rubbish over the last few days

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • Beardyknave Tommy Rotten (@Beardyknave) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @james_cooney @virginmedia I ended up talking to someone else who gave me the deal I was after straight away, such a **** on. If you're able to do something just do it, I have **** to do.

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

  • KTroopA rbetchoo (@KTroopA) reported

    @virginmedia What an absolute nightmare experience just to cancel my contract. I have been on the phone since 2.15pm today for 2 hours now to cancel my contract. TWICE been put through to cancellations and then got cut off. IS there another way - please help!!

  • MisterLeeDaniel Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • CarrieR1204 Carrie Rose (@CarrieR1204) reported

    @virginmedia are any of your customers happy? Your service is extremely poor and follow ups are non existent! Is my business worth so little to you?

  • LeeSealey3 Lee Sealey (@LeeSealey3) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not saying your website is bad or anything but I’m willing to bet a team of blind chimps could code a better site than your tech team. Can’t get past 400 bad request or oops something went wrong. You’re not wrong, being with you is where it went wrong

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    @MissIG_Geek @virginmedia My recent issue with them thinking that Apple are the Controller for all push notifications and that PECR doesn’t seem to apply being a good example. There’s no way they’re right there, but they think they are and refuse to investigate further or escalate :(

  • LauraHo43204561 Laura (@LauraHo43204561) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone contact me and help me to get wifi pods. I am a virgin/02 customer on volt but every time I contact customer services the automated service sends me a text and then cuts me off! I have tried this 3 times. Thanks!!

  • GMatheson5 G Matheson (@GMatheson5) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you not have customer service that is managed. I have been in touch again about my complaint which you are ignoring and, again, I have been hung up on twice by two different agents. YOU ARE NOT PROVIDING THE SERVICE I AM PAYING FOR - this is FRAUD!!

  • Malflagshagger Buy British if you can.🇬🇧🇮🇱 (@Malflagshagger) reported

    @MrMatth68584062 @EvelynS51868235 @virginmedia Just cancel your payment, they will soon ring you.
