    @virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

    @scottcvrroll @virginmedia It's mental like, I know there's shit going on but when everyones at home you'd think they'd try to get on top of it asap.

    ... (@GrantRfc89) reported

    @ArmchairAdml Just give notice or switch to a different provider. I had similar with Virgin media recently and literally had to have my wife try and open a new account at the address before I got a deal comparable to the new customer one.

  • Trebor0501

    @virginmedia Pixelling now fixed but not watch from start of prog. Shouldn’t you put out a list of the issues fixed/still to be fixed.

  • MableandMeUK
    Onyourbikeson (@MableandMeUK) reported

    @virginmedia your O2 account integration is through worst ever. All I want to do is check my O2 bundle and I'm stuck in a never ending loop of being asked to link my accounts. Been crap for so long.

  • Craighale4
    Craig hale (@Craighale4) reported

    @ArmchairAdml I’ve got a similar situation with @virginmedia where I’m paying £92 for internet and phone line which I’ve never used.

  • Mortalportal01
    Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please explain.. when you set up a new c9ntract with VM you end up having a contract with 02 as well, never asked for or agreed to. And now im struggling to get them to cancel the 02 contract as 02 have incorrect email address and never received a sim card?

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    @virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!
