@virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

@virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

@virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

@virginmedia I have contacted all your teams for help, no one can help me, they can’t add broadband and TV services onto my account. I have spent 15 hours this week talking to people trying to sort this out, if I don’t my services working by this afternoon you can cancel my order #frustrated

@UBSixT @virginmedia Had a similar problem after a house move last time I was with Virgin Media. Could only offer much slower ADSL, no TV and expected me to pay more for the privilege. Was locked in so had no choice for a year. Shocking!

@virginmedia why is it when I ring your contact centre number I have to enter a virgin number or account number? I'm not a customer but I'd like to speak to someone???

@virginmedia The preinstall team didn't give him chance to open a complaint, just kept stating there was a blockage (as previously said, there is no blockage now) and there's nothing they can do. Said they would speak to their manager and hung up on him.

Further to @virginmedia tweet Lady tells me EVEN if I get in touch with Middlesboro call centre they did say the amount I agreed If their guy HAS SET THE PACKAGE UP AT £5.75 MORE per month. That`s it I have to accept it or cancel. How are these companies allowed to exist? FARCE!
