    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • Pablocollier
    Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

  • arintsie

    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • DoughnutDoney
    Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England

    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT (@ZachcloseYT) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia you canceled our contract with you before it even run out just because you have sued and you raised the price to over 200 pounds a month that we can't afford and the rubbish service doesn't even work and I don't want a reply from ai I want a person to reply

  • KP_1886
    KP (@KP_1886) reported

    @virginmedia Your broadband outages are absolutely unforgivable. We’re paying good money for your internet only to be denied the ability to do our jobs because we have no WiFi. The fix date keeps changing. It’s not improving. Yet we’re still paying. What are you doing about this?

  • kateandhergirls
    Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported

    @virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄

    @virginmedia I've just sent a message & X told me there was a problem & my message would be saved. I'm hoping you receive it soon.
