  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  • EmSatch EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

  • Blolol Balal (@Blolol) reported

    @virginmedia existing customer and did a renewal on TV, net and phone line end of October 2020, reduced total monthly bill - had an email to say there'll be a £3.50 increase from march 2021. I'm sure I've read deals after 20th June or something are unaffected. Please fix this.

  • SG4T4SG Sarah Ganfield (@SG4T4SG) reported

    @virginmedia can you let me know the phone number for disabled / visually impaired customer helpline please?

  • Robert_Ze_Bruce Rob (@Robert_Ze_Bruce) reported

    @virginmedia why is it I can ring your sales team and get through in minutes, but when I use your messaging service about an overcharge, I wait 6 hours for one reply and never hear from them again? 3 days of trying with no resolution.

  • dborrow88 Darren Borrow (@dborrow88) reported

    @TomoTheTechie @jukeyz Virgin Media will have a duty of care to him as a customer. I'd recommend probably moving from a consumer line to a business line in order to get them to take the issue more seriously due to the amount of times this is happening, if they cannot help then move ISPs to 1 that will

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @virginmedia "the team" didn't mention, this was an the BOT that responds when you call. Unless that's what you mean by team. Yup, guess noone is going to pick up tonight after 3.5 hrs. Really really displeased with the service

  • palace65 Chris Curtis (@palace65) reported

    @virginmedia My initial question is can I cancel my contract

  • SanguineVoyage Stefen Radyk (@SanguineVoyage) reported

    @virginmedia #stayconnected I have been charged £35 activation fee which should be free. I spent an hour on phone to be told that CS can't help which is ridiculous. I have my original order email I can forward for proof. Where can I send this to get a resolution please?

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get through to "your team" via text or the phone line!! Hence why I'm out here asking for support
