    @virginmedia I can’t believe how shocking your customer service is ....

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • joemoonblue Joemoonblue (@joemoonblue) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia My router stopped working and no one from Virgin would help I lost my mind and ended up in a mental hospital

  • danpwright Dan Wright (@danpwright) reported from Manchester, England

    Had it with the so called “Superhub” from @virginmedia. Google Nest WiFi ordered. The service is great - the router is terrible.

  • Jessicareynard Jessica Fairhurst (@Jessicareynard) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia been on for over an hour trying to sort an issue for my grandad! Poor service.. please get in touch!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia trying to register an account on Virgin Mobile app so that I can provide a PAC code to you but don’t have an answer to a security question and have never set one up so I’m calling you as requested but all of your call centres are closed? 🤯 Not great service!

  • Ebb1 Eb (@Ebb1) reported

    @adelarks @virginmedia Best way to cancel is send a letter to their complaints dept, Sunderland,send it recorded delivery, and then cancel direct debit in 30 days time. You have done your legal duty to cancel. They then have no leg to stand on. Meantime arrange to switch providers. Hope that helps.

  • Marklamar20 Mark lamar ✋🇵🇸 Former Labour party member. (@Marklamar20) reported

    @0Calamity @virginmedia 2 BT scams today,once I ask them to tell me my first name and account number they hang up.

  • CactusRedDragon Kris McEwan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CactusRedDragon) reported

    @virginmedia Your broadband service hasn’t managed to stay up continuously for a full 7 days yet in 2021. Minimum once per week, for anything from 5 mins to 4 hours, there is an outage. Any plans to fix this? It’s just that I’d really like to receive the service I pay for.

  • crags_and_maths Dee (@crags_and_maths) reported

    @virginmedia Hi internet is off and no engineering appointment in sight to solve it. Bit of a problem if you teach from home, can you help please. Ta.

  • akhan999 Amjid Khan (@akhan999) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell is wrong with virgin media for the last week. Friday night just wanted to relax and watch a movie with family and it’s gone down. I want a refund for all the outages I’ve had genuinely sick of it. GIG1=completely useless

  • UrbanWordsmith CreamCrackeredWordsmith (@UrbanWordsmith) reported

    Somebody claiming to be called "Paul", and refusing to give his surname, has literally refused to cancel my @virginmedia contract despite me asking so many times I lost count. 1/

  • Saints_Mike7167 Saints Mike (@Saints_Mike7167) reported
