  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah & someone promised to call back last week & they never. We’ve had no broadband since yesterday & it keeps acting up

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • M_RashidAmin Mohammed Rashid Amin (@M_RashidAmin) reported from South Shields, England

    @vmbusiness I’ve send a direct message. Im absolutely angry and annoyed by the situation today. Worst customer service experience.

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • wal_tastic Christopher Walton (@wal_tastic) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • jonzo1 Jonathan Abourbih (@jonzo1) reported

    @virginmedia That seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you!

  • MollyMoffett_ Moll📱 (@MollyMoffett_) reported

    @virginmedia can’t call any Virgin number and the app is down AND the online website won’t let me log in. I need to cancel my contract before it ends and I’m tied back in with Virgin. None of my details are correct on your systems even after asking to correct them. #virginmedia

  • Rhia_Cox Rhia Cox (@Rhia_Cox) reported

    @virginmedia Says the wifi won’t connect to the internet. No known service issues in the area

  • Niro67967434 Niro (@Niro67967434) reported

    @virginmedia i have been asking for the date of service cancelation, i have only a confirmation email that states your services will stop "on the date advised" ,now i can make a rough estimation of 30 days , but this wasn't confirmed to me i have no way of knowing

  • CrohnZone CrohnZone (@CrohnZone) reported

    @virginmedia I want to find out how much it will be to cancel my contract 3 months early so I can switch to sky? If I don’t speak to someone about it soon I’ll just cancel my direct debit and stick all the equipment in the bin!!

  • type1josh 𝕥𝕪𝕡𝕖𝟙𝕛𝕠𝕤𝕙 (@type1josh) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for how great your customer services team are. Raised issues about connectivity (again) and asked for justification of price hike, none of which were addressed, just continued to disconnect me. Spent 2 hours on Saturday & got auto cut off as well. Thanks.

  • scouse_ant25 Ant* (@scouse_ant25) reported

    @virginmedia The only way I would consider staying is if you could match the new customer deal, which your operative said was not possible.

  • paulafraser13 Paula (@paulafraser13) reported

    @virginmedia I bet you would! I'm happy to pay when I receive an acceptable level of service! Just the kind of standard response that I've come to expect from Virgin

  • Jasonis86 Jason Matthews (@Jasonis86) reported

    @virginmedia when a potential customer is trying to give you money. Listen to what they are saying. £80 month going elsewhere...

  • monseymoo sarah hudson (@monseymoo) reported

    @virginmedia I still have not anyone to contact me and still can’t get through to you. I’ve now moved to a new provider starting this week how do I cancel and please do not tell me to call you!!
