O’Shyllon🖤🙃 (@ayoshyllon) reportedFreaking annoying morning. This guy still ain’t connecting. Virgin media had better come fix this ASAP😒😒
-
John smith (@smith_john33910) reported@LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
-
Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported@virginmedia has to be the worst ISP in the UK. Currently raising a CISAS complaint against them due to how they're terrorirising my elderly mother. May have to take this to small claims too as it's impossible to speak to any UK staff who can resolve anything.
-
Truthwillsetyoufree (@Truthwills26171) reported@RakeLark @handsomedave32 @VirginMediaNews What personal issues, my disgust at the race baiting grifters and the morons who support them? If that’s a personal issue I’ll happily hold it. Where did I say it wasn’t a concern or problem? I stated facts about Virgin Media, & that many agencies can get state funds!
-
David James Pearce (@pearceswan) reported@MariaSale8 @virginmedia If I were you, I would call for technical assistance for some reason your messages are coming to me. I am a Virgin Media Customer not a technical advisor.
-
Johnycantdecide (@ladydaveg) reportedDiagnostic tests suck, the myvm app sucks, your ai at the end of the phone can't tell the difference between zero and three and I still can't speak to anyone. Is there anything you can do right? @virginmedia
-
Chance Walton-Ashmore (he/him) (@AshmoreWalton) reported@virginmedia after asking to change my payment date 4 times and extra on the chat and app. Also being told it’s been changed. Now I’m told it cannot be done due to a system issue and maximum amount of changes have been taken. It hasn’t been changed. Terrible customer service.
-
Dips (@Ndola19) reported@moonpeach212 @virginmedia Hey, VM will not sort anything out. I have spent so much time trying to sort out my issue as O2 failed to apply my Volt benefit. VM claims they have done everything while O2 claim they are waiting for VM confirmation. They drag the issue out hoping you will go away
-
Allen Johnson 🇵🇸 (@AllenJohnson18) reported@virginmedia I have been without internet, phone and tv since Thursday 13 August. Despite 4 engineers from VM and 3 Commex 2000. I have been blatantly lied to by your customer service team who made me wait 5days for an appointment. Sick of Virgin Media
