@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

@virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

@virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

@virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

@virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

@virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

@virginmedia is there any way to speak to customer service given your customer service line is closed? And your online support team is offline?
-
James Parkinson
(@jmzparky) reported
@virginmedia Herein lies the issue! - can't you see that the irony of me making an initial complaint about security getting in the way of providing good customer service - and you replying with that tweet!?
-
Ben Challis
(@Sirbenchallis) reported
@virginmedia I think we have very different approaches to 'customer service'. But one question - can you direct me to where the addresses are on the website? I had to use google. Are there any other numbers without the long delay?
-
Phil clement
(@psclement) reported
@virginmedia Yep apparently none, every time I ring support I’m told there is in fact an issue that’s being worked on. So I assume it the same this time.

@virginmedia That’s there’s an issue being worked on by engineers but the estimated fix date is next week. Even though the first person said there was no faults. And no compensation available for the inconvenience

Having swapped broadband provider, I'd hoped to get away from de-camping from office to lounge (where router is) @virginmedia for video calls. When will the nec. roadworks be completed; a splitter was used to my property Dec 2020 and I am still waiting. Help desk couldn't advise.

@virginmedia can someone PLEASE get in touch with me about my terribly unreliable wifi?! It's been a week and the text service doesn't work, your phone lines are down. I pay too much for fast wifi if I can't use it and will cancel my service. #virginmediaisunreliable #virginmedia
