Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!
-

He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

rose allen (@roseall87907765) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !
-
Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, WalesI feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.
-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Hi - are you going to help me with the issue with your servers @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp please? No emails between my Outlook and your servers since Thursday.
-
Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.
-
Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me
-
Dom Silva (@DomSilva2) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Hi our internet is going to be down for 2 days. I have a business acc with you with phone line will I be compensated for inconvenience? 😡
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

The Yellow Head (@marcwalby) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia Interesting, this was going to be my move in October. I have never used the phone line and we don't watch any of the Virgin TV stuff. Was it really that hard to get just Broadband?

Jan Army Brat 🇬🇧 🦖 🎗️ (@BratArmy) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia We’ve been with virgin for about the same time, abysmal service, they don’t seem to care at all, our internet drops out constantly, it drives me insane.

Stevie (@stevenjh1821) reported@colonbarbarian @virginmedia @SkyUK I got a deal of them via email a few years back. Gigabyte sports movies there hole package for £60. Then my bill came in around 190. They tired to get out of it by saying I never accept it. About 6 hours on the phone and they finally said they where.

kim 🥀 (@ersaztly) reportedVirgin media WiFi ******* sucks it’s been out since yesterday
-
Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reportedAppalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!
-
Scottish_VAR (@Scottish_VAR) reported@heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I have moved to smarty mobile hub. I pay 20 a month for unlimited data, its a rolling month contract and uses three signal. Its great you can take it away with you to hotels or away on holiday.
