  • Jordanmac95 Jordan McDonnell (@Jordanmac95) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any chance of you not cutting off a call? Rang 5 times now to cancel my mobile contract and each time you put the phone down. Your customer service is shocking.

  • SweetDardo SweetDardo (@SweetDardo) reported

    @virginmedia 1/ Thanks but it's the dog biting its tail. The service checker does only detect issues for tv while we clearly are heavily impacted on broadband. If i try and run the Check on the hub, it just says it can't run the services at the moment. Since it can't run the checks ..

  • CamberMan Guy Williams 🇺🇦 (@CamberMan) reported

    @virginmedia I can't call to complain because I'm on hold that long that before I get through to someone the internet cuts off & we start all over again. As a new customer in my 3rd month with you, I'm beyond disgusted. That's without mentioning the gift I never got for joining you. Joke!

  • emmayay EmmaMowles (@emmayay) reported

    @virginmedia No they didn’t. The last repair date we were given was 6pm on 10th Oct and we were told it will definitely be fixed by then. This has been an ongoing issue all summer and it’s so frustrating. We just want to get this resolved and receive the service we are paying for.

  • ricorichards87 Rico Richards (@ricorichards87) reported

    @virginmedia. If my wifi is constantly ****, always lagging, dropping out. Would you say im paying you for a sevice that you're failing to provide?, especially when you say the only way to fix the problem is to give you more money?

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • Mr60798928 facelessnamelesstamedwarrior (@Mr60798928) reported

    I will need to get a nice gentleman or woman to kill my pets legally as I cannot get in touch with virgin media to cancel my TV package

  • CamberMan Guy Williams 🇺🇦 (@CamberMan) reported

    @virginmedia Expand a little.... Ok.... At 52 mins past the hour on the hour since the "engineer" fixed the issue... We have lost internet connection which means we've lost TV, internet & phone. Again putting you in breach of ofcom regulations.

  • blightybibi Bibi (@blightybibi) reported

    @virginmedia taking money out of peoples accounts for missed appointments when your engineer doesn’t call prior to the appointment or turn up on the day as he’s supposed to, is illegal. Stop this practice. Listen to the complaint and start behaving like

  • lee_rothwell Lee Rothwell (@lee_rothwell) reported

    @virginmedia After 5 phone calls and 4hrs and lots of negotiation I may have settled with a deal. Will look through the deal probably today as I have a 14 day cooling off period. If I did cancel your retention department would be on it straight away. Both BT and Sky are more than competitive

  • kateprescott67 Kate Prescott (@kateprescott67) reported

    @virginmedia Tried this but not getting anywhere? Support is just none existent
