    Hammerdan (@Hammerdan13) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, but you have sent me down a conversation with a computer. You are now in breach of our contract as you have failed to cancel it or listen to me upon my request. Your customer service is embarrassing!!

  • maiellamipiace
    maiella (@maiellamipiace) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    Oh @virginmedia why bother sending emails with customer satisfaction surveys attached when you have zero interest in taking any notice of what your customers think? If you had, you'd listen to our complaints instead of squeezing as many £££ as possible out of us before we cancel!

    Original Wild (@wild_original) reported from Churchdown, England

    @virginmedia Had an email to say my Netflix A/C has been cancelled even though I’ve paid you my subscription - no one on live chat for almost an hour now to help - anyone there?!

    Aaahhhh 🤨trying to work from home today delivering my virtual Zumba Classes and the internet keeps going down.. got kicked out my own class... #sorryclass #dancewithoutme 😔 #virginmediadown #virginmedia #workingfromhome #cantworknointernet #virtualzumba

    maiella (@maiellamipiace) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia I already did your survey but you knew what I thought when you tried to force me to take on an 18 month contract after my original one ended. You treat customers like a cash crop. I make sure to tell everyone not to use you. You could have kept my business when I move but not now

  • 1grahamfletcher
    Graham Fletcher (@1grahamfletcher) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia There is little point, as you won’t do anything about it, and it’s a waste of my time and effort. I know what you did, you should read the notes on file, and sort the issue. It was embarrassing to listen to and witness what happened today

    @virginmedia Doh just booked a technician and the status page now updated to say there is a service area fault . Do I need to cancel the technician ? Or will that happen automatically?

    @virginmedia hi guys. Out of contract and I’ve received a message to contact you. How best to fix a new deal and router 4?

    Every day around this time by business Virgin Broadband goes down... 😩 Just why? @virginmedia #virginbroadbandissues

  • Gooner_Richard
    Richard (@Gooner_Richard) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia Hi, is there an issue with your online services at present? I don’t appear able to use Virgin TV Go. My TV and broadband services are both working fine.

  • WoodyWitters
    Anya Wood PR (@WoodyWitters) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I am still having issues with my business WiFi so it has not been fixed. I have intermittent service with it dropping out for a good five mins before coming back again.

  • Fun_and_James
    James Clarke (@Fun_and_James) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia hi - I’ve just ordered a family pack of Virgin mobile SIMs because O2 coverage is poor where we live… I’ve only just read about the merger. Does your network still run on Vodafone or are you now O2 also?

  • MichaelAlanHunt
    The Michael Hunt (@MichaelAlanHunt) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @ionasurveyor @virginmedia Virgin's customer service is quite frankly crap

  • Sarah_E_Godfrey

    @virginmedia hi there, our hub 3 constantly has a red light on suggesting it’s overheating but it’s on the floor, uncovered, out of sunlight and not near anything else. Also have connection issues - have tried to fix using link but says I’m not at my address. I am. Thanks.

    @virginmedia after putting in a huge complaint I had an email this week confirming my first payment will be £51.00, I check my bank account this morning only to find you are taking £121.00 out of my account on Monday #gofigure #appaulingcompany #anothercomplaint

    @aliward_96 I’ve never got on with them in the past, poor service but Virgin Media isn’t in my area apparently as I did try and check 😑

    @virginmedia our internet has been down for a while now, can you please check to see how long it’s going to be down for? Postcode area of GL50?

    PMAC (@BigPaul91) reported

    Had 3 @virginmedia engineers round in the last 7 days (for the most part good people no blame) but my broadband is still broken. The Mythical network team will get to me when they get to me … I’ll be off then to a new provider who gives a ****.

  • _kimosabe_
    John James (@_kimosabe_) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting Customer Service I’ve been told for 3weeks HBO max is free with TNTspots only to just been told it’s not now unbelievable service I have it in writing and verbally been told it’s free

  • saabturbocab
    russell elphick (@saabturbocab) reported

    @virginmedia The team were awful, offered£25 and you took £900 over 4 months. Shameful.

  • cymroglyn
    CymroGlyn 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🍾♿️ (@cymroglyn) reported

    @virginmedia You should be keeping an eye out for this sort of criminal activity, creates profiles for most large UK companies so they can reply to any complaints and get the customer to download software so they can compensation…and rob them. Report them to X

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer replaced the Hub. Intermittent internet was still a problem after that but has been good for the past 4 hours. Fingers crossed.

  • finatics999

    @virginmedia terrible customer service, will be leaving after being a loyal 10 year customer.

  • ChaudhryHaroon
    hc (@ChaudhryHaroon) reported

    @virginmedia your agents are rude calling me to try and retain me as a customer but speaking to me in a patronising manner!

  • Pmatthews123
    Paul Matthews (@Pmatthews123) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and told the same as it’s all in 1 package I can’t cancel Tv part and keep the BB until sky sort it out which is after my end date and therefore I will be charged inflated price- all I want is to cancel TV and until switch happens keep the BB surely VM can do this

  • RadioCammy
