    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness By ‘protecting network’ you mean protecting profit margins let’s be honest here. Thankfully we are being released from the contract and moving to a more reasonable provider that supports customers through the pandemic and not makes them inaccessible.

    @virginmedia I am now on day 2 of waiting for your complaints department to contact me. This service provider should be avoided. #getwhatyoupayfor #deadservice #poorcustomerservice

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    You make mistakes in life. Going back to @virginmedia is one of my biggest. Internet is awful, can’t sign into the media service and the customer service is nonexistent. I advise you do not do it!!!

    @virginmedia I've been waiting for a response from customer services in WhatsApp for over 4 hours. No info on wait time. What's happening?

  • ChendersHorror Christopher Henderson (@ChendersHorror) reported

    @virginmedia widespread power cut or a severe storm would also knock out the local mobile masts. How would I be able to call for an ambulance (or police, or the fire service, or anybody)?!

  • alanpalethorpe1 Alan Palethorpe (@alanpalethorpe1) reported

    @virginmedia Are virgin media customer service and retention team working from home or even Rome? I have spent half my life trying to sort out my package. If they can't sort out something this simple I wont be purchasing a ticket for a space flight😖 sort it out lutz

  • amymc1986 Amy McDougall (@amymc1986) reported

    @KevMc86 @virginmedia I've had little to no broadband today due to them STILL upgrading their services! The issue they said was sorted 2 days ago! So I'm paying for a service I don't have and not able to work from home due to their broadband being currently non existent! 😡

  • Soccerjudge Big judge joe (@Soccerjudge) reported

    @virginmedia And as you can see I have requested sms updates and had zero so far another absolutely rubbish bit of customer service

  • Dave1Allan Dave Allan (@Dave1Allan) reported

    @virginmedia a joke of a company! You’ve deleted my Netflix and agreed you shouldn’t but still Netflix have taken money from my bank. Doesn’t anyone there take responsibility for sorting customer issues from start to finish?

    Awful customer service, I’ve been told twice I would have a manager contact me about my account. Could you please sort this out? @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Help, I've been on web chat and Whatsapp all morning trying to cancel my broadband and no one is answering! Ridiculous!

  • Soccerjudge Big judge joe (@Soccerjudge) reported

    @virginmedia Really not sure what is going on here, but it's absolute rubbish what you are telling me, I have sent a screenshot from your app that says you are investigating a problem in my area and yet you are saying there is not issue and to turn router off and on What a joke
