    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • TwitchPBG PrettyBondGirl (@TwitchPBG) reported

    @virginmedia Sounds good! But what type of support/assistance could I be offered? I mean I have been informed that there is a problem in our area that is being worked on.

  • salhypes Sal (@salhypes) reported

    @virginmedia Your service for my parents has been unacceptable for the past four days. My mother shouldn’t have to speak to five different agents to address a simple issue. It has caused her unnecessary stress and it isn’t acceptable service.

  • Nick75Brooko Nick Brooks (@Nick75Brooko) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I’ve done this already and you are being so ignorant!! What on earth do you think I’m doing???? I want to cancel now

  • ChigTheStiG TheAmbassador (@ChigTheStiG) reported

    @virginmedia I have continually had disconnection issues for the past 8months to the internet and I’m always told someone will get back to me, I wait patiently and nothing is done. My internet keeps dropping off and I have to manually restart the hub. #poorCustomerService #poorService

  • paul_plays_rpgs Paul Plays RPGs (@paul_plays_rpgs) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, new customer here who now can't activate my package today because @YodelOnline have a backlog at their depot. Not off to a great start....

  • Ikthezeus Tom (@Ikthezeus) reported

    @virginmedia So what you’re saying is unreliable service is acceptable during these WFH times? Plus I should waste time, fuel and increase pollution by driving to my office to complete what was 10 minutes of work? Also, at what point did I mention LOSS of earning?? Only poor service mentioned

  • porlmurf Murph (@porlmurf) reported

    @virginmedia It's come back on again now but it's nearly ever day this now, you know people are working from home and it's out of order. And promised credits have never been applied for previous problems. It's not on and I can assure you we will be leaving you soon.

  • sarahcliftonsc Sarah (@sarahcliftonsc) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia help please. How do o get to choose a football game on the red button? It’s not working.

  • ChigTheStiG TheAmbassador (@ChigTheStiG) reported

    @virginmedia No I’m not sure why the fact that this has been ongoing for more than 8months is not ringing alarm bells with any of you. I do not take pride in complaining I’m in a #desperate situation I pay my bills on time #poor service
