@virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

@virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

@virginmedia The complaint should not be closed down as ihe said that a team member would get back to me with a resolution to the complaint and a gesture to me, and then if i was happy with the outcome the complaint would then be closed.

@virginmedia maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

@virginmedia I think my wife would like someone high up to call her. As she is inconsolable at the moment. She has been passed from pillar to post on the phone for the past 90 mins and is still on the phone. My wife has some major health issues and no one seems to want to help.

@virginmedia I’ve had 2 issues in last 2 weeks in Europe and away again tomorrow. You tell me all working yet it doesn’t. We reset everything and you had to escalate issue. Within 24 hours it started to work in Greece. No service in guernsey which means it’s not going to work tomrorow Spain

@virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

@virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

Extremely poor @virginmedia Wi-Fi in SW14 area over recent weeks & this week a nightmare with this morning losing Wi-Fi completely. We are not a priority when phoning & need Wi-Fi to work. Anyone else finding the same problem? Paying a lot of money for bad service!

@virginmedia I don’t know why it being public means you can’t help me?! Any representative from Virgin Media should be able to help a virgin customer otherwise what is the role of virgin media on Twitter? To promote the company name and products rather than actually helping their customers?!

@virginmedia The wasn’t I checked but I’d say it was more of a nationwide issue and because it was off on not many thought much about it
