  • 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.

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

    @virginmedia over 60minutes and three hang ups later. I am doing as you said “call” and I’d be better standing outside and shouting. I have logged an @Ofcom complaint and emailed Tom your CEO. #dontusevirginmedia any other customers experienced the “cut you off” tactic?
