  • nickholl nickholl (@nickholl) reported

    @virginmedia So will my bills continue to go up year way over inflation year on year (just like the trains), just so that you are able to maintain a useable service - whist the product I receive stays the same?

  • Jemima_jess jemima (@Jemima_jess) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia are you ever going to resolve my issue or keep stealing money from me? Appalling service, I should have never left @skytv

  • deodharsatyajit Satyajit V. Deodhar (@deodharsatyajit) reported

    @virginmedia Hey virgin media I am a new customer. Engineer visit is scheduled for this Monday. I have opted for a broadband package with a mobile sim. Just wanted to know when would be the right time for me to port my number to virgin.

  • oliversdadster Paul Schofield (@oliversdadster) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve texted that number 811 times. Is there any reason that the 812th will be the one. One of your senior managers just said because it’s in deadlock there’s nothing he’s going to do. Unfortunately that’s not how it works, and if he doesn’t know god help you.

  • SandraDunn1955 Rainbow Warrior 💙#IAmEuropean #FBPE 🇪🇺 🍥 (@SandraDunn1955) reported

    @virginmedia Still no service

  • MarianHF Marian HF (@MarianHF) reported

    @virginmedia It's C-2201211671. Had to put my query in as a complaint as I could find no other option that I could use to make contact.

  • andy00169146 andy (@andy00169146) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel; there’s been a fault with the broadband for a while and you wrote to inform of a price rise. I’m out of contract so should be easy enough-can you let me know how to cancel please-ideally the quickest way without having to try to get through on the phone!

  • allstar100 Daniel Wicks (@allstar100) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying your messaginging service for six weeks. I still have broken equipment. I am leaving Virgin Media in a couple of months and that will be a happy, happy day.

  • AWJL84 LaJaWaA (@AWJL84) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service number is disconnected 90% of the time and when it does connect it states it is over an hours wait time. Are you not able to get someone to follow up and call me? Not sure why I am having to follow this up.

  • michv03 Mich V 🎗 (@michv03) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not even though I tried again for another hour and once again cut off, & the messaging service appears not to be manned!. now raised a complaint Appreciate you are mostly working from home but the waiting times are ridiculous for then to be cut off every time.
