@virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

@virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

@virginmedia can you please explain why once again my install date has been delayed?! As a new customer this is now getting beyond a joke and I’m seriously thinking of leaving before I’ve even started

(@OhThisBloodyPC) reported
@virginmedia The call centre say "we will call you back in two hours because the tool we need is not working" They don't call vbqck. One female operative was friendly, but after 45 minutes she, like Jomil before, said "we can't change the details" She passed my wife on to a male call handler

@virginmedia I expected that that’s exactly why you have a 2 star rating (poor) on Trustpilot. I am not wasting my time making anymore complaints to your incompetent staff thanks I will just let everyone on social media platforms hear how terrible you are

(@itsbentleytv) reported
@virginmedia Yeah with huge respect this been going on for over a year. So I won’t hold my breath. Just do your job and fix it before someone gets hurt. As I’ve said previously. School nearby and there’s sharp edges on the cupboard. Only takes a kid to trip and get hurt.

(@OhThisBloodyPC) reported
@virginmedia We have tried to phone your call centre, and twice a man has hung up on when my wife tries to speak to him. It's her work broadband account so she has to place the order - but obviously there is a cultural difference and male callers have a problem with female callers.

(@PrettyPolley) reported
@virginmedia Hi, as per my origi al tweet, I've been on a WhatsApp conversation with various people since 9am this morning. It's indicative of the state your customer service is in. All I'm asking is consideration of the fact I have been trying to close my account for days.

@virginmedia very bad experience with Virgin media. Residential team tells me something completely different to what the business time has told me . Please help 🤔

@virginmedia Here are some frequently asked questions missing from your automated service: Why do you outsource customer support to people who are, understandably, struggling to understand callers from a land 5000 miles away in a different time zone?

@virginmedia Virgin Media we had a new fibre line fitted on the 9th of march still hasn't been fixed. Got off the phone to customer service an hour ago told me there's nothing they can do. Said they can book another tech visit but nothing is getting sorted had 4 months of bad internet.

@virginmedia hi, please can you confirm if my contract has been cancelled. I never received a confirmation email and I don’t wanna call again as I’ve just spent £42.34 for 58 mintues of being passed from person to person.
