  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • Look_North
    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • 25watchtower
    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇲🇯🇲✝️ (@25watchtower) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Yup, just dumped Virgin for EE. Although I swore I’d never use BT again after an appalling experience with them before switching to Virgin, I wouldn’t continue using their extortionate services anymore

  • MakeJaddocks
    Jake Maddocks (@MakeJaddocks) reported

    @LBC Virgin Media overcharged me when I tried to cancel and then gave me a default when I cancelled my DD I’ve appealed to them and the credit scoring agencies with evidence but no responses If anyone has any advice, please let me know

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @ipa1869 @virginmedia Virgin Media fined £28m over 'deliberately dropping calls' and putting people on hold 'for no reason' Customers trying to cancel or switch were routinely put through the wringer by Virgin's customer service agents, an investigation by the regulator has found.

    @BladeoftheS Never watched tv for 7 months filled out online form to buy license to watch world cup football . They have backdated yo Dec 25 . Now going in circles like virgin media to get refund . Imagine how they will take money with digital id and digital banking . 🪬🏦

    @EoinLenihan Those who provide cover for evil, are evil. I include the dangerous fifth columnists in RTE, Virgin Media and the newspapers in that cohort. They must all be held to account, they must all pay for the terrible terrible damage they are willfully doing.

  • doubledutch13
    Jonathan Kirk (@doubledutch13) reported

    @virginmedia having been treated disgracefully just after my wife died I’m delight you are 28 000 000 lighter in the pocket. You were truly awful and I’ll never ever use you again. Ever. #youdeserveit #laughingnow

  • robheneghan
    Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for being no help whatsoever? 3 days no internet but as usual you guys don’t seem to care. Shocking service as usual….

  • dollDCFC
    Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported

    @virginmedia @siemaiqbal The only tweets we ever see here about Virgin are those complaining when their service has been interrupted, which is understandable.I wonder though what % of Virgin customers it represents? From personal experience my service has been out a very few times over 20+ years.

  • lambypies
    SJL (@lambypies) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Yeap, happened to me too. I asked on the phone if there was any evidence of this "Contract" The call handler said point blank it didn't matter. The really annoying thing is the actual broadband is really good. Fast, reliable and only the odd day down for maintenance.

    Andy (@GetItQuietly) reported

    After anointing Virgin Media as the king of bad suppliers, Switch2 are giving it a good go.
