@virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

@virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

@virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

@virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

@virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

@virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

@virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

Now spent over an hour trying to cancel my @virginmedia it’s beyond a joke. I’m out of contract, my new home cannot even get Virgin, why is it so hard to get this sorted?

(@guydorrell1) reported
@virginmedia It’s not that John, it’s both the frequency & duration of the issues, plus I just checked with your CS & we’ve had zero credits to our bill for the repeated inconvenience. Been giving you >£100/m for 10 years. Unless credited with a whole month, we’re gone. Valued customer? 😬

So @virginmedia just “escalated” my issue to the managers, but I was then told that they don’t work weekends so I’m gonna have to wait until Monday? Doesn’t sound like an escalation to me!

@virginmedia Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. If I’m perfectly honest I’m not bothered how busy you guys are, I’m paying a lot of money for rubbish service and poor broadband speeds. I’m testing on my iPad via Wi-Fi. VPN and every other device off.

@virginmedia Reconnecting an account, I’ve spoken to so many people and none can help I have to wait another 2 days even though I rang yesterday morning to sort it out but she hasn’t done what she should have. Account turned off for a couple of hours takes over 48 hours to turn back on

@virginmedia Our previous home is rented and ours until 13th August and our current home (we moved today) doesn’t have access to Virgin media. I’ve asked to cancel as soon as we can but if we cancel after the 30 days would it save us money?

@virginmedia I'm aware industry changes but at least I'd probably get to the bottom of my problem after 1 hour 36 minutes, 5 people and 2 departments.
