    Hi @virginmedia for several days I’ve been messaging you trying to move my services to another address. You can’t speak to anybody, and nobody replies to my messages! Appalling service! I will want reimbursement for the days that my services won’t be available at my new property

  • rachaelmcnally rachael mcnally (@rachaelmcnally) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia what a rubbish service. Trying to request for package to be moved but can’t speak to a person. Now want to cancel....still can’t speak to anyone 😡 terrible service......answer the phone!!!! Been sat on hold for 3 hours

  • simonandrebecca Simon Nadler (@simonandrebecca) reported from Manchester, England

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia As I mentioned earlier, i tried calling multiple times with wait time between 60-120 mins and got no response back. Tried reaching out on twitter and got no response. The complaint is not resolved from my side at least, not surr of that closed on your end.

  • robtomlin1 ROB TOMLIN (@robtomlin1) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia for the past 18 months I’ve paid £99 a month for the oomph package, just been told it’s going up to £139 a month for same package yet new customers get it for £89 a month! How can you justify this ? Don’t want to leave but no help from customer services

  • brollybruce Bruce (@brollybruce) reported from Dunham Massey, England

    @virginmedia Trying to contact him now - it’s tricky but I’m sure you would want to step in and prioritise an issue which is of your own making and leaves someone for 2 weeks bereft

  • AidenMontgomery Aiden Montgomery (@AidenMontgomery) reported from Westhoughton, England

    Really fed up with my @virginmedia internet connection. Months of packet loss causing voice calls to be unintelligible. Constantly losing connection. Multiple ‘engineer’ visits and its still terrible. Two days in a row now the hub says No RF Signal. Stay away from it!

  • mason458 Michael May (@mason458) reported from Middleton, England

    @MickFerry @virginmedia Infuriating. We are going through it at the minute. They want £120 of us a month as a valued customer and a NEW customer gets same package £50 less.

  • lexy1968 Alex (@lexy1968) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Hi. How do I cancel my service please?

  • brollybruce Bruce (@brollybruce) reported from Dunham Massey, England

    @virginmedia if your disabled pal has had an installation of yours which has been a disaster from A to Z and he’s having to wait yet another week for an engineer - how do I help him get the priority remedy he needs ? #askingforafriend obviously

  • CityWookie CityWookie (@CityWookie) reported from Urmston, England

    Impossible to arrange a house move with @virginmedia ! So far website doesn't work. So they tell you to use the contact us chat, which I've sat on for over 4 hours without a response. I've also tried calling, so far more than 3 hours no response or cut off 😡 #poorservice

    @neilTheMagpie @virginmedia They're not bothered Neil. I hear it all the time about them. As with all the communications providers, customer service is shite, even well before this covid. They use it as an excuse now.

  • LouLouMason 🤨 (@LouLouMason) reported

    @virginmedia I use a Macbook air so there no Ethernet cable socket to test. I‘m remarkably techie so to be continually fobbed off by CSRs who know less than me is draining. I’d appreciate call from someone who can actually help or an engineer visit please so I can explain situation fully.

  • JohnPaulCline J.P. Cline (@JohnPaulCline) reported

    @SophieEB @virginmedia Hope the problem gets solved quick.
