  • Matt72423 Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

    @virginmedia shocking customer service. Still not recieved my new contract. I think I am going to cancel if the complaints team do not give me a call within 24hours!

  • zo_and_arrow ZoAndArrow (@zo_and_arrow) reported

    We’ve been paying for the top package of @virginmedia for three years & the last 3 months our wireless connection keeps dropping, 1 bar of 4G is genuinely faster… VM have said they can’t fix it and it’s our problem 🥴

  • BeauSooth Gerry McCrudden (@BeauSooth) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia "I am really so sorry that you are looking to cancel the services which I will need to get you connected with our customer relations team who will be able to help you further..." I had to ring on a different day as I had no more time that day

  • BeTrueToyours11 Be true to yourself (@BeTrueToyours11) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler Absolute rubbish service

  • ItsEddyBaker Eddy Baker (@ItsEddyBaker) reported

    @lucindahoose @virginmedia They just answered and i heard someone pick up the phone and then immediately hang up on me. If I have no means of contacting @virginmedia to stop my service I can only imagine I have to think about legal action :/

  • BarryBelfast70 barry mccaffrey #achtanois #AnDreamDearg (@BarryBelfast70) reported

    Now waiting for more than 35 mins for anyone at @virginmedia to answer phone for me to cancel contract because they want to nearly double bill. @virginmedia Customer service is pathetic
