@virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

@virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

@virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

@virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

@virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

@virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

@virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

@virginmedia Yes it says estimated fix time 4pm, but I think I can be excused for not believing that. It has been pushed back several times in the last 36 hours.

@virginmedia multiple times i’ve tried to contact you now w no help, even after making a complaint you haven’t followed through with anything, are you going to do anything about the internet problems i’ve been having for 3 months?!

Daniella Scott
(@DaniellaScott7) reported
Hi @virginmedia not had wifi for 2 days and no contact about a resolution. Planned fix time keeps being pushed back. It's costing me loads to hotspot my phone. P.s. before you say it, I shouldn't have to sign up to your app to get the very basics of what I'm already paying for.

Rob Compton
(@RobCompton4) reported
@virginmedia Yes, check "SW9 virgin media" and you will see this is a widespread issue for many. Do you have an update on when this will be fixed...?

Virgin media are a disgrace, our contract ends soon. Their phone number is not working, just spent 3 hours on live chat & still didn't get a resolution! I then opened a complaint to tell them to end my contract which they closed down within 2 mins!! @virginmedia you are a joke
