  • PennyArcade10 Mr Spgt (@PennyArcade10) reported

    @virginmedia Stay connected? I disconnect 5/6 times daily. No reason. Raised complaint, 4 failed contacts later I called Liberty Global. Engineer changed hub. Still the same. About 6 weeks later a letter came. Complaint would close if I didn't contact them by... 10 days ago. Please help.

  • KirstenClareA KirstenA (@KirstenClareA) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I have complained several times over 3 months. Phone/official complaint/chat.Someone here called Gareth told me to email him.He suddenly stopped replying & my TV is still not cancelled & you are still charging me. I am sick & registered disabled & asked repeatedly for help.

  • leftizzle Adil (@leftizzle) reported

    Not sure why @virginmedia haven’t updated their Twitter to acknowledge there is an issue with their internet/phone service. They seem to be giving everyone who messages them the run around and I’m reading the same complaints of being cut off by customer services all over twitter

  • WalesCountry CountryOfWales (@WalesCountry) reported

    @virginmedia what is the best way to get through to your customer services? We gave waited 2 hours and the call dropped. Ive tried messaging too but no reply. Thanks

  • SessaSarah Sarah Wilkinson (@SessaSarah) reported

    Hour and an half on hold with @virginmedia to sort moving home passed from one dept to another and then asked to hold for a ‘wee second’.....that was half an hour ago. @SkyUK here I come....if I can ever get through to cancel of course

  • Ebb1 Eb (@Ebb1) reported

    @virginmedia Text is useless tried it before it doesn't work. I want a direct line telephone number and the name of teh compalints manager who I can speak to. Customer service is uselss they put you on hold and then cut you off, The text is even worse-they ask me to compromise my security det

  • LittleToRelate Phil King (@LittleToRelate) reported

    @uk_domain_names Possibly, tho' all broadband providers apart from Virgin Media use the Openreach local network, and this is the bit that is most likely to fail (cables particularly). Reckon on an outage of around 24 hours per year on average (but could be days). So mobile backup could be better.

  • danfin0968 Fin (@danfin0968) reported

    @virginmedia Awful taken an hour to.finally send you a tweet

  • SteveSteveu35 jollybaker1 (@SteveSteveu35) reported
