    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

    When you cancel a direct debit pending an overpayment query, an extortionate figure is taken by them, you get charged £7.50 for late payment, you are on hold for 45 minutes and then they say the direct debit wasn’t cancelled 👀NEVER CHOOSE VIRGIN @virginmedia @SCOAF_UK

    @virginmedia are your call centre staff ***************? Ones just been an idiot to me sounded like he couldn't be arsed while ones just sent me down a line that rings out constantly for 20 minutes. Both asked me different security questions and one flat out refused

    @virginmedia I need help with getting a number so I can call up and cancel the subscription we have. The broadband has been terrible for over a month now. Was told last week there was an issue with the router and we would receive support and have had none and it’s impossible to get though

  • psanders1976 paul sanders (@psanders1976) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you firm of cowboys answering the phone to your customers , absolutely disgusting customer service keeping people on hold for over an hour then cutting them off

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    It seems my @virginmedia goes down on a weekly basis at the moment. Usually on my days off...🤬

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia Exactly the same happened to me just, even had one of the call centre staff say I would've get a dead line when I told her I definitely will. She still transferred me down a dead line. Got told that changing provider isn't a good enough excuse to leave. Its my choice! 😡

  • Cryingfreman Carl (@Cryingfreman) reported

    @virginmedia Well, waited in all day for the equipment to be picked up as no estimated time given, nobody turned up. A fitting end to a incredibly poor experience.

  • tonysherlock Tony Sherlock (@tonysherlock) reported

    @virginmedia help with broadband dropping out.

  • lesley_macaulay Lesley Macaulay (@lesley_macaulay) reported

    @virginmedia "Roaming call to service number" an 0844 number

  • Rabc26269371 Rabc (@Rabc26269371) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn't have to chase up a complaint. If advised it would be investigated & reply issued within 28 days! Its well over 8 weeks now. VM have had ample time. I will escalate to OFCOM

  • Alex324350311 Alex (@Alex324350311) reported

    @virginmedia I submitted a complaint over a week ago and it’s not showing in that link, I’ve just gone and submitted the complaint again and just checked that link and there is still nothing showing in there !!

  • BethShinfield Beth Shinfield (@BethShinfield) reported

    @virginmedia And you still don’t recognise the only email I’ve ever had in the last 20 years so I can’t log in and make a complaint either. I’ll try by post but you still haven’t bothered with my cancellation letter yet

  • Dougstar007 Dougie (@Dougstar007) reported

    @virginmedia I’m Very sorry too, but I’ve not agreed to any new contract at anything other than £70pm which is clear from the recorded telephone conversation that the second dept is looking into. I would much prefer if you could have someone call me when they are up to speed with the issues

  • LordTets Stephen Waite (@LordTets) reported

    @virginmedia No, I had the June bill which I was expecting to be high. The problem is your call centre told me yesterday there was a problem and they couldn't honour the deal

  • StephenBradley5 Stephen Bradley (@StephenBradley5) reported

    @virginmedia the WiFi has been off for more than 6 hours now! Any idea when you'll restore the service?

  • mjcooper83 Mike Cooper (@mjcooper83) reported

    @virginmedia No the work was on Tuesday and didn’t affect me, but last night the connection was rubbish, on and off (more off then on) status on your site said fine, but clearly it wasn’t and sites like downdetector showed loads of issues
