@virginmedia we would like to cancel our contract with you but your website is sending us round in circles and it’s impossible to get through to your call centre. You’re taking advantage of the lockdown to rip people off!! 🤬

@virginmedia To be honest the telephone support from call centre was very poor. No answer to my request about customers who are vulnerable and who else I could talk to. Just “wait another 72 hours” .....It was email, Facebook and twitter messages that helped

@virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

@virginmedia I have had a letter to say my sons email address is sending spam emails. I have changed my password just in case but am having an issue with certain emails being undelivered. Have you put a spam indicator on my emails. This is causing me big problems

@virginmedia I have done everything you have asked me to do regarding my security issue. I have responded to your texts as requested. But you never respond as you say you will. Meanwhile, more letters and texts arrive. It is futile.

Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

(@saltertonarts) reported
@virginmedia Sadly not. It was an outage of several days that we weren't notified of when we signed up late last week. Not possible to work from home so now using annual leave. But we are within the cooling off period so will likely give you another call to cancel.

@virginmedia Just used that number. It’s tedious and more frustrating than calling your cust service. How can my issue be followed up on when the bot asks me twice if i need help with my mobile.

Evening @virginmedia, my pre-install was supposed to happen today. At 4pm I was told by CS the team would definitely be here today, anytime up to 6pm. That’s been and gone, live chat goes into infinite loop passing me back to the bot, and text chat not connecting to anyone. Help?

Waited six weeks for @WeAreOpenreach to clear a duct down to my house. Meanwhile, @virginmedia rocks up and, in three days, cables over 100 houses in my road and surrounding streets. One company has its game together, the other is a mess.

@virginmedia I was told I will get an email. I am very disappointed with the Virgin Media. I have been with Sky for 10 years and never experienced such rubbish customer services.
