@virginmedia I have requested my full account information to be sent to me under the freedom of information act, so that I can raise a formal complaint, earlier today. Was told it will be emailed to me immediately... Still nothing in my inbox. I'll probably have to call a 5th time.

Predictably depressing experience calling @virginmedia to cancel contract this afternoon. *On hold for several mins. * Offered £2 off contract monthly by automated answer phone message when I navigate through phone menus saying I want to leave. Say no on touchpad.

@virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

@virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

@virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

@frankcottrell_b @virginmedia Get your Mother to note, report and block every number she doesn't recognise. Action Fraud will help. They are keen to catch cybercriminals.There are too many of them about right now.

@ZoeStar28166081 @DionNicolaou @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue and has been for weeks. It’s absolutely not an individual problem...nor is it that the box needs an update or that the box needs to be left on all the time (why auto standby too if that be the case?!) its just genuine **** service that they don’t care about

Ravi Mal
(@ravi_mal) reported
@virginmedia My service has been intermittent for days now. Constantly seeing the two arrows symbol on my hub. Constantly getting thrown off Teams meetings. Constantly having to apologise to co-workers. This is getting embarrassing now. Paying you a fortune for a crap service.

@jenniseex @virginmedia I used to like the service, especially the TV, but can’t justify paying so much for a poor service any more.

(@jenniseex) reported
@71simon @virginmedia Simon if you use the text service and say you want to cancel they can arrange all sorts. It takes about 29 hours to get a response but then they can send new equipment/ engineers etc. Try it you might get it fixed.
