    @virginmedia 3 hours of online chat and I’m still haven’t managed to cancel my subscription. Why is it so difficult??

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • beccaleigh99

    @virginmedia hello, since you ‘upgraded’ the WiFi in our area - Clerkenwell- the WiFi signal has been terrible. To whom shall I complain? Thanks

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • rtkosha
    radz (@rtkosha) reported from Stratford, England

    virgin media was asking for my customer’s card details over the phone which i found suspicious but he goes to me “i ain’t got anything in the bank for them to nick anyway hahaha” 😭😭😭

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same number I’ve had for over 30 years. Read previous tweets! I wanted rid of Virgin because Customer service is really lousy. I see you’re pushing the blame to other provider without evidence. Sounds about right How long wait for someone to answer the phone today?

  • PatricioSimone2
    Patricio Simonetto (@PatricioSimone2) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Still terrible. Can’t even watch TV. It works some hours and then it fails

    @virginmedia How long have you got? I have just sat down in a restaurant to cry on a friend’s shoulder. The nice server said, “how are you?” I just burst into tears! Seriously. My disappointment is palpable. I want to go back to @BT

  • gendal
    Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • dionnepat2000
    Dionne (@dionnepat2000) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia I shouldn’t have to. It’s a new issue that other people are having too. I can turn off wifi on my phone and it’s fine. Please tell them who fix things to fix it. Not only me

    virgin media are so ******* ****, sorry but taking 3 days to fix a broadband fault is unacceptable when some people have to work from HOME

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Had the same experience with Virgin Media. They`re a disgrace 3 months down the line.

    Shash (@shashpatel23) reported

    @virginmedia @HopeForTo Is this a joke! Estimated fix time after 5pm. Broadband and TV both down. Supposed to be working! Put prices up again and on one of the most important dates in TV history (WC26 Semi Finals) everything is down!

    @Starlink Exciting times. VIRGIN MEDIA BULLIES NEED KNOCKING DOWN MANY PEGS. MY PREVIOUS CONTRACT STARTED AT £36.. WITHIN 2 YEARS IT ROSE TO £92 FOR A BASIC INTERNET PACKAGE. CONTRACT ENDED I MOVED ASAP. NOT REALISING VIRGIN WERE STILL CHARGING ME, RACKING UP A DEBT. RUINED MY CREDIT SCORE WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THEM. I OFFERED 50% AND THEY POINT BLANK REFUSED. THE WORST CUSTOMER LOYALTY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH.

    @virginmedia Do better for your customers. Take the feedback on board and amend your help pages to include the streaming box. Walk in our shoes and think how you feel when a big company treats you like dirt and still takes your money without a problem.. but you won't .
