@virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

@virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

@laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

@virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

@virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

@virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

@virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

@virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

@dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

@virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

@virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

@virginmedia I have done that. I have spoken to the so called 'technical team' and they didn't even know about the issue or what I was talking about! Even though you play an automated message about complex on going issues. Nothing makes a difference.

I'm paying @virginmedia a bunch of cash every month to provide a terrible and unreliable service. Their website doesn't work so I can't even get tech support. Can't wait to cancel.
