    The worst service ever from @virginmedia - been trying to cancel my account since March. I do appreciate problems with lockdown etc but we’re almost in October! Nobody at all seems to want to take responsibility - passed from pillar to post!

  • honeys_ Claire Louise (@honeys_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia my Wi-Fi has just gone off and within seconds your app is telling me there is a fault and the estimated fix is 3pm. Something tells me this is a planned outage. Why are you not communicating with customers who are relying on your service to work at home.

  • JulieNicholas_ Julie Nicholas (@JulieNicholas_) reported from Newport, Wales

    And it's gone again. Hello @virginmedia, no online support via app, is there anyone there?

    @virginmedia No response on the complaint, but have been in contact with someone on the forum and are being sent a new hub, so fingers crossed that works.

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Just phoned, spent 35 minutes on hold, call answered, questions asked, checks being carried out.......... Phone gets put down!!! Do you expect me to call again for the same atrocious service?? @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • OvertonEsther Esther Overton (@OvertonEsther) reported

    @virginmedia Could somebody from Customer Services please contact me urgently. My disabled, elderly father has been left without his services due to being disconnected (NOT under his instruction). Have been on phone trying to sort for 2.5 hours and phone call has been disconnected.

  • Jak_Collier Jak_Collier (@Jak_Collier) reported

    @virginmedia Any response to this I hope you're not ignoring the issue? Any chance of a message Through direct message or getting a dedicated team to solve it once and for all?

  • trevorstone1 Trevor Stone (@trevorstone1) reported

    @virginmedia Don't believe them people, can't even get me connected, shocking customer service. Do yourself a favour and buy Sky 👍

  • pavlovscats Martin Brown (@pavlovscats) reported

    @virginmedia That’s exactly how the installation took 4 weeks to be fixed. Your company simply never answers. I’m trying to resolve this for my mother and it’s a never ending saga. As before, somebody needs to just fix it but nobody takes responsibility and everything takes weeks. Ridiculous.

  • MaelTomissi AstroTrick (@MaelTomissi) reported

    @virginmedia I was transferred to customer service and got disconnected. This is not a text service, it’s a chat retranscription over text with a layer of bot!!!

  • IamAdamLFC I AM ADAM LFC! (@IamAdamLFC) reported

    @LfcShaunjudge @virginmedia Give th grief and then when you go to cancel they offer you better deals. Though it's a Pathetic way to retain customers.

  • dzi_san marta (@dzi_san) reported

    How bad is @virginmedia customer service. Waiting on the line to cancel my contract and a girl instead to put me through further, just hung up.Glad I’m leaving

  • Sol11so Sol (@Sol11so) reported

    @LfcShaunjudge @virginmedia They don’t want you to have the new tv. They gonna give you a PS5. In true honesty Virgin are doing over number of customers. Proper poor standards
