    @DavidAHSleath @virginmedia I love the customer service when they just end the call half way through trying ‘to help’ I once spent 5 hours back and forwards with the every part of the business... engineers... blah blah blah... still was no better! Until I managed to get through to Scotland! 👍🏼

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • helen_helen2662 Helen (@helen_helen2662) reported

    @virginmedia has had 30 hours to repair a fault but “they know what is causing it” no service for 35 hours how long we would be waiting if they didn’t know ! Oh & the 4th change of time has now moved to ASAP -don’ call the help desk after 30 mins they will cut you off

  • Walking88814482 Walkingman (@Walking88814482) reported

    @virginmedia I need to report a TV issue, have tried online but your Recapture page isn't working, can you help? I really need to speak to a human.

  • ChrisA Chris Adams (@ChrisA) reported

    I know it's a cliche to moan about customer service on here but OH MY GOD @virginmedia. I'm convinced they have just entirely scrapped their customer support team. When their service breaks, there is just either radio silence or stock replies.

  • ianhensh Ian Henshall (@ianhensh) reported

    @virginmedia how can I tell you I’m moving home. Hour long wait on phones, chat bot that goes round in circles and moving home web link in your site is broken. Do I just cancel payment and wait for you to contact me?!!

  • Kanellaandco Kanella&Co (@Kanellaandco) reported

    @virginmedia a total and absolutely disgraceful service, no Internet for 2 days now... No help, no voices to advise... Times getting continually put back, a father who relies on the service for communication and mental wellbeing.. To say I'm angry is an understatement, disgrace.

  • stevecs79 steve (@stevecs79) reported

    When did the service with @virginmedia get so bad? Reliabilty issues, advisors who lie, false promises and unresolved issues. They were top for me at one time.

  • MissStefC Stefanie Chew (@MissStefC) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I've been on a UK contract with you but I am now living in Canada and need to cancel. I can't text you or call you to cancel because I can't make calls/txt here. How do I cancel my contract? Thank you for your help.

  • fifalafel Jahar (@fifalafel) reported

    @mark3man @virginmedia Likewise in SE19 and still not working!!!
