    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

  • smithsterbloke Gary Smith (@smithsterbloke) reported from Bracknell, England

    Called to discuss end of contract and to retain my business (especially during uncertain times and current my employment status) and help reduce costs. Told it’s going to cost £15 more than we already are on! SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING US! DISGUSTED! @virginmedia

  • Cooper100Nicola Nicola Cooper (@Cooper100Nicola) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

  • mmaaccss Macsi (@mmaaccss) reported from Wokingham, England

    Wanted to watch YT on #VirginMedia to see TSMGO: Phantom of the Opera but dear it is down at the moment! Unacceptable!

  • Ath3naG Ath3na Gaming (@Ath3naG) reported

    @virginmedia It was to change to a broadband only package but I did try ringing again and the customer relations employee was a lot better. So I'm all sorted now thank you

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (@JohnnyDude1983) reported

    @virginmedia Hey. What's CPE ID for on my V6 tivo. Your sfm team wanted the CPE id number when I rang and was put through to them earlier. The guy esculated my issue and asked for my CPE ID from under my V6 tivo 🤔. What will the info help resolve 🤔 #virginmedia

  • ptmv69 paul mcvey (@ptmv69) reported

    @virginmedia About my issue about a proposed in crease of my bill also about my deal I have My next door neighbour (also my father in law ) has a similar package to mine but is paying £10/pm less that what I am Sick of being ignored

  • Sagarpa34992099 Sagar patel (@Sagarpa34992099) reported

    @virginmedia Called your helpline, pressed the options to go to cancellations, guy on the phone says he cant help, puts me into the queue for another hour. Then you disconnect the phone. Then tried online help, hour wait, transfer to cancellations, disconnect again. Disgrace.

  • onthelandline Jamie ✈️ (@onthelandline) reported from Wetherby, England

    @virginmedia Not good when a customer has just negotiated a new deal though. As long as your shareholders pockets are well filled I guess 👍

  • benatherton Ben Atherton (@benatherton) reported

    I knew it would happen @virginmedia - waiting for over an hour for support in lowering my bills and then cut off. Can there not be a simpler way of dealing with this - the call centre agent I talked to originally could not help...

  • AldoScrim89 AlanScrim89 (@AldoScrim89) reported

    However a simple query to reduce the price of a bill shouldn't be this difficult. Loyal customer for years and really disappointed that more can't be done with this. Times are tough for people as it is honestly. @virginmedia

  • nierka211 Nerijus (@nierka211) reported

    @virginmedia How long do I need to wait for your customer support staff? I have been online for 2h now?

  • DiTamboly DiTam (@DiTamboly) reported

    @virginmedia I need help raising a serious customer service issue. Was asked to do it via website but been searching for the last hour to submit a complaint by email but there is no option! Please explain how. I’ve already tried the phone route but that’s impossible!

  • enobnala Alan Bone (@enobnala) reported

    @queenchristina_ @virginmedia Yes I had this happen twice last week with the woeful EDF. Cut off when they ‘put me on hold.’ It can’t be a coincidence because it never happens on calls with friends or family.
