    @virginmedia @johnmclaren1972 All I’m seeing are apologies but still no resolution to fixing issues, providing a decent service or looking after existing customers. I’ll be changing to sky next month.

  • 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

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia They have the absolute worst customer support these days too. Virgin media was great before they merged with O2. Now they are absolute garbage

  • WeHearYou2020
    WeHearYou (@WeHearYou2020) reported

    @virginmedia @rafthemaster Language barrier was a big problem. Not the advisors fault but trying to explain our issue has left us without a box for two weeks and a remote control sent out that we did not request or need. Any solution @virginmedia

    David (@David52578899) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 That’s an excuse, not a reason. Nobody cares if your records were not fully updated, that’s your problem.

  • perfectme1122
    PerfectMe (@perfectme1122) reported

    @virginmedia Called to cancel contract. Given offer of £32 for 2 years. Checked contract to find it rose to £36 in April ‘27 and £40 in April ‘28. Customer service rep insisted it was inflation rise but contract states it’s in addition to. Contract now cancelled after 15+yrs 😕.

    @virginmedia what’s going on on with my internet please? Been down all morning. Managed to get through to a human at 07:45 was told outage in my area but it was being worked on & would be back in about an hour. It’s still down & can’t get through to anyone for an update

  • MonsterMikeyG
    mike gorman💙 (@MonsterMikeyG) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I cancelled @virginmedia after 15years last week as my bill hit £200. They offered me a decent package but I said no. Phoned me over 6 times over the next 2 days before I answered only for them to offer me a worse deal than the one I turned down. Madness

  • antiprotests
    On The Right Side (@antiprotests) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I’m sorry for your loss, this interaction with @virginmedia just goes to show how “important” the customer journey is to all of the big communications companies. They are just interested in new customers and have little care or empathy with their existing customers.
