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 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

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

@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 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 I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

@virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

Received our regular @virginmedia 'We're ***************' letter saying our broadband is increasing - you can cancel if you give 30 day's notice - letter arrives exactly 30 days before increase! 10 years on we're still paying more than new customers #noshame

@virginmedia broadband and TV out again until at least 21:30 tonight. That is a loss if service now 5 times in the past 8 weeks. This is a disgrace. No refunds or anything but we are not recovering the service we pay for. #poorservice #virginmedia

(@sharonjane3103) reported
@virginmedia Yes it was. Also forgot to mention the last person I spoke to informed me that I had requested my account be closed. News to me. If the whole process wasn’t so time consuming and stressful I’d laugh. It’s really no way to treat customers.

(@blairsinclair) reported
@virginmedia The rep said that was fine, the proceeded to tell me how virgin speeds were faster etc. I said I still wanted the 30 days to stand but I would get in touch if I changed my mind. Now I find out the notice period was never logged and I face a huge bill for a service I had cancelled

@virginmedia Do you know how long our #VirginMobile coverage is going to be down in #ArmthorpeDN3? I believe it’s a mast issue but would be useful to have an ETA for a fix. Your online status checker doesn’t appear to show #Mobile

@HamezWarchico My broadband thru Virgin Media has been awful recently. Was good up until I renewed recently (at a much cheaper rate than they were trying to shaft me with too). My actual phone signal through Sky in the house has became shockingly bad too.

(@NilsSchaffner) reported
@virginmedia Sorry, this is not the first time I've tried to cancel, last time after 45min, I could not wait anymore and had to hang up. Today I managed to stay online 2 hours and speak to 4 different people to finally cancel. Seems there is something fundamentally wrong here.

@virginmedia I have. As previously mentioned I have read the FAQs, logged into my online acct and tried (and tried) to call the published international phone no. but my phone will not connect. This is now my 5th tweet over 3 days. Do I now qualify for some actual tailored help? Please? Thanks
