@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

@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 🙏

@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.

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

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

@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

@virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

@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.

Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

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

@virginmedia 1/2 My daughter cancelled her services as she was moving back home. However you cancelled mine instead. Different ac no/address/name/password ? Yet you still managed to go into my ac instead. I was left with no services for almost a week. As that isn’t bad enough, you are now

@virginmedia Hi, I'm not still experiencing issues at the moment however, I did have issues last Tues for ~2 hrs & yesterday for ~4 hours & on both occasions it stopped me from working (from home) but also last Saturday when it stopped me from watching a streamed football match I'd paid for.

@virginmedia It turned out to be an area issue, so they say they have now resolved. We are experiencing issues about every two weeks - I’m unable to work from home because of this & rely on the internet as my mum is 87 & disabled (so use Echo to drop in etc). We have had many engineers out

@virginmedia ALSO, tell me this. Why is it up to this point you haven't resolved my issues with regards to signing up to the Virgin Media account??? This has been an ongoing dilemma with you for over 4 months now. So many of your customer reps have contacted me and asked the same thing

@virginmedia Oh look another price hike in my Broadband package, don't think I even got an email warning me this time. I presume this price increase represents an increase in service quality and I won't be seeing any downtime this year?
