    @virginmedia the attitude of your call handler this evening when I called to cancel my contract proves me right to go back to @SkyHelpTeam

  • BlytheMatters Ken Hawkins (@BlytheMatters) reported from Solihull, England

    Patience with @virginmedia getting tested again. And of course, when broadband is down my data is being charged

    Hey @virginmedia really pleased you are supporting #SaferInternetDay but it’s a bit extreme to shut down our internet and tv completely!!! No service at all 😫

    @virginmedia Just want to see a service status page, like broadband companies have. 🙂

  • Deblord1 Deb Lord (@Deblord1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia I posted the complaint to the address given on the website. It’s not my account and I have few details to enable me to register online.

  • gezjb gez (@gezjb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia you couldn’t get your customer service any worse if you tried ! Shocking

  • Jordi_Amor Jordon Alexandria (@Jordi_Amor) reported from Birmingham, England

    @KellyGroupLtd @virginmedia Almost 6 months on and my complaint/claim remains unresolved. Despite being advised I would be reimbursed for damage caused to my home after VM install, I remain out of pocket! #poorcustomerservice #npsfail #dissapointing

  • walters_nigel Nigel Walters (@walters_nigel) reported from Birmingham, England

    Still no service @virginmedia in the B38 area this is disgusting and we should have some compensation

  • GiLESzzzzz john giles (@GiLESzzzzz) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @VirginMedia the worst customer service known to mankind. I do not know how they say in business.

  • iamsteadman Mark Steadman (@iamsteadman) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hey, turns out you never DMd me. It was a scam artist and I narrrowly avoided getting my card details stolen (although I did give away my home address before I checked the username). That’s not on you; but thought you should know.

  • ooftbbz 𝕠𝕠𝕗𝕥𝕓𝕓𝕫 🦊 (@ooftbbz) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @NeoThe1_ @virginmedia Ugh ours has been down for about an hour now 🙄

  • Ubiquitouschap The ubiquitous chap. 💜 (@Ubiquitouschap) reported

    @virginmedia Will our notification of cancellation be accepted if we can't contact you? Hope so as we cannot get to speak to anyone from virgin!! Hopeless customer service!!

  • totteringby Scotch Mist (@totteringby) reported

    @virginmedia How would I do that? There is no way of getting through.That's why I want to know how to make a formal complaint so that I can then refer it to ofcom. I'm paying all that money and I don't even have a reliable email service

  • dirty_hb ***** HB (@dirty_hb) reported

    @virginmedia So far •not told contract was extended for change in package •I had to keep contract even though I'd moved •Then I could cancel as I'd moved but..not in fact cancelled now unpaid bills #WeReallyDontGiveAF @virginmedia

  • SkinnyQu33n_ CEO Of JelloCoom.org (@SkinnyQu33n_) reported

    @virginmedia any update on when SO14 is due having their internet back. Had to work in the library today because of your service. An update would be nice.

  • Notwat57 Kevin Tawton (@Notwat57) reported

    @virginmedia I complain about March 2022 price increase and you send me a reply about March 2021 and tell me the price increase is a discount ending - Not correct or true, the fact we lost 2xchannels and never were compensated for that and now face a tariff rise!

  • andy912 Andy knight (@andy912) reported

    @virginmedia keep getting cutt off after an hour , your also ignoring my WhatsApp messages . Please just cancel my contract . Not interested in any deals . Just cancel it . Sort it out

  • Allan96673636 Alan (@Allan96673636) reported

    @virginmedia still four hours wait time for an agent, your company's an embarrassment. You shout from the roof tops how fast your broadband is. Get your customer service faster than 4 hours, you're a joke

  • iestynpugh Iestyn (@iestynpugh) reported

    @virginmedia How can I cancel my contract? I’ve tried for 3 days to get through on your phone lines…

  • jerickan Janet Neale (@jerickan) reported

    @virginmedia It's been 4 days now since my mobile phone has been a working phone. 'Emergency calls only' not good enough. When will this be sorted? Would phone, but....
