  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 22 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 26 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 35 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 36 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 37 minutes ago from Romford, England

  So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 39 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported 40 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 49 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 49 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 52 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  @biggle1908 I’ve been with virgin media for 15 years now no issues whatsoever other than they cut the power to my old WiFi router which left me with no internet connection at all . They done this because I told them my WiFi box was fine I didn’t need to upgrade. I pay £78 pm just for interne

  Militia Matt (@DrealSMAK) reported 2 minutes ago

  @PaulTurner140 @virginmedia Oh I know this. I did DM and they’ve given some instructions. If those don’t work I’ll be gone. Can’t be paying for rubbish service

• 
  Lee Manton (Λη Μαντον) (@mantonl) reported 5 minutes ago

  @biggle1908 Virgin media service is good & fast, great deals for new customers, but renewal time they are horrendous. Mine went from £94 to £247 overnight, call centres are useless & it's a massive battle to get to a sensible renewal price. Left them this year after 20 years because of this.

  @virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.

  Georgios A (@technolagnos) reported 7 minutes ago

  @MTBoar @virginmedia That’s just rubbish, you can take it off you want it (however have a look at the issues people have had with cancelling their Virgin media subscriptions at the end before you do…)

  IzO (@IzO_TTV) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You have literally the most infuriating customer service process known to the entire universe. I cannot wait to be out of this Devil spawn of a contract. I actually pray for the down fall of this company with a passion. Zero interest in customer needs just straight aggressive sales tactics. Get out of my life seriously.
