-
Chris Newton (@chrisnewts) reported@virginmedia why is it so difficult to reduce your package. Numerous phone calls and messages and none of your employees can manage to take off items off my package. Please respond before I cancel completely. Appalling customer service.
-
appleblossomB (@appleblossomBe) reported@Dadyougeek @virginmedia @LutzSchuler Your best bet is to Phone them and cancel your subscription and tell them you’re switching . You’ll get through in minutes and they’ll bend over backwards for you & if they don’t , switch !!
-
Steven Byrne (@Lavelle250187) reported@virginmedia Your service is disgraceful. I joined less than a month ago and my internet has already failed twice. 1st time it was down for 3 days, now it’s been 2 days and could be a week. I want to leave your awful service, but you won’t let me. This is not what was promised!
-
