    @virginmedia So you’re telling me that because 3 separate members of your staff have lied and not raised a complaint when I’ve asked, I now need to send you a letter? Are you joking? #VirginMedia

    Hello @virginmedia. I cannot sign in to my ntlworld email - it says my password is not recognised. Is the server down please as my password has not changed. This has happened at least 6 times in the last 12 months.

  • JonoTobin
    Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

  • SimonLew87
    S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it’s says there are no issues. It’s frustrating as I’m working from home and continues to drop or go off.

  • michalincs
    🧑‍💻 Michał in CS (@michalincs) reported from Swansea, Wales

    I cancelled @virginmedia broadband as the price kept increasing, the service wasn't. They offered 75% more speed for 40% less as I was such a "loyal customers for years". Effectively, they admitted they were overcharging me for years hoping that will make me stay! No thank you.

  • George2Rachel
    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia still trying to sort broadband.Was promised a booster, no show.Calling to report a fault.Disconnected calls Again. Taking up hours of my time. customer service appalling. raising own complaint with offcom as you couldn’t be bothered to give me results of last one

    @Benleo @virginmedia One of the worst companies I've had to deal with as well, other than British Gas. I can't wait to leave when my contract ends.

    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Well said, Ben. Yes, the WORST! You are in the public eye. Private Cstmrs like me who get billed for DD payments by @virginmedia , despite writing to Cust Svcs Exec in March, April, still cannot access emails, as their Support is totally inept+incompetent!

  • g_hannam
    Graham (@g_hannam) reported

    @virginmedia How am I supposed to contact you? You don't answer the telephone, the link to live chat doesn't work and there's no email address. I need to discuss a recent communication from you

  • JohnFinnig13970
    John Finnigan (@JohnFinnig13970) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia About 15 years ago I sent them 25 emails in a month to customer service regarding my internet drop outs. The day before I was due to switch they called me, he said it's my job to convince you to stay. Told him about the emails and it was too little too late. He agreed and hung up

    @Benleo @virginmedia I’ve been hearing this for years and as a consequence would never, ever, consider anything from Virginia Media. Doesn’t help you, I know, it’s just a ‘you’re not alone’ type sympathy.
