  • Geo88HH George Hoddinott (@Geo88HH) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia how can I contact you in regards to removing premium channels from my account please? Have tried calling a number of times but cannot get through to a human. Is there a webchat service or similar?

  • Saralimback Sara Venn (@Saralimback) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No someone has deleted it overnight after saying they could help via DM. This is appalling behaviour-it was whoever was tweeting yesterday.

  • misseschampers Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia hi, just wondering what the wait time is on the messaging service as I'm not sure if I'm in a queue or if something has gone wrong (waiting 2 hours so far) Thanks!

  • TheTestDoctor Dan Billing (@TheTestDoctor) reported from Bristol, England

    @inclusively_amy @virginmedia Nope...Manchester issue?

  • daintree75 leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @liveseytowers @virginmedia @SkyUK Thanks I just might as I have never gave them any information. They had my mobile number and email address. So I need to get to the bottom of the problem 🤔

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia GET A MANAGER TO DEAL WITH OUR ISSUE!!!! A deadlock letter is needed now as we are raising a case

  • CraigAllan5 Craig Allan (@CraigAllan5) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia shocking service so far. Ordered our broadband a month in advance of our house move as is essential because we’re both working from home. Been in a week and had delivery of my hub but still not able to connect. Advice is always just to wait and it will come online.

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia now you have cut services to an essential medical services home worker when the call logs clearly show your errors & the fact we’re on calls of 2+ hours without success. DISGRACEFUL company #CICAS #CEDR @Ofcom

  • daintree75 leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia So i have to fill out forms because you have my details. I will putting a complaint into @Offcom

  • misseschampers Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

    Today's @virginmedia update... 9.46 I connected to the messaging service. At 10.48 I was put through to the correct department. Still waiting. 5.5 hours so far. Carrier pigeon may be quicker 🤔 So far over 3 days I have been waiting on their messenger thing for 12.5 hours.

  • daintree75 leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I dont want an account with you to send a complaint. I do not want to be your customer. All I want is to get this resolved. Do I have to go through @Offcom to resolve the issue issue?

  • ChristianSurfer Phil Williams (@ChristianSurfer) reported from Nailsea, England

    @richardbranson are you anything to do with @virginmedia ? If so please can you get someone to finally do something they promise. 15 hours on phone, promised credits, nothing arrives, overcharge £50 p/month & promised of a call back & nothing 22 years a customer, 6 weeks waiting

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia your tweet is a typical example of your utter incompetence. Issue relates to OVERCHARGING & inability to invoice agreed contract value followed by inability to resolve situation C-3112201993 try #dowhatyoupromise Also now with #CEDR

  • VickyLorych VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get hold of you since you said you’re putting up my bill by 7.5% in COVID but you hung up on me before someone picked up and now your phone lines are down 😡

  • avh12 aimeeeee (@avh12) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia intermittent WiFi, that keeps cutting out. Service test says nothing is wrong. I've followed all the instructions. No way of contacting you online?

  • ChristianSurfer Phil Williams (@ChristianSurfer) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia another 5 days waiting for a call back .. and this was after my case had been ‘elevated’ and a promise for all to be sorted on a Friday - more broken promises / what do you suggest now ? Just leave after 22 years ? @MartinSLewis @WhichUK - all details being recorded

    @virginmedia I’m really struggling to get through on the phone for the past 2 days and have just been cut off. Can anybody help cancel my account?

  • Andybranch6 Andy branch (@Andybranch6) reported

    @virginmedia Ive been on the message service for 3 hours trying to cancel my contract but still not been put through? Thanks

  • ste_dowling ste dowling (@ste_dowling) reported

    @virginmedia Waited over 20 mins to speak to a lady only to find out I had been passed to the wrong department. She apologized and said she'd raise a complaint, but a complaint would mean I then couldn't speak to anybody else about my problem. She transferred me to a 3rd person.

  • ElzPokegem Elio Lamaa (@ElzPokegem) reported

    @virginmedia Whats the address to post to cancel?

  • samantha_sehar Samantha Sehar (@samantha_sehar) reported
