  • official_danpip Dan Pip (@official_danpip) reported from Barry, Wales

    Wow so @virginmedia are charging me an early disconnection fee of over £250 just because I can’t get their services at my new property. So much for being a loyal customer for over 5 years 🙄

  • MendingTheGap Chris Jeffery (@MendingTheGap) reported

    @virginmedia Landline and by the Virgin Media App you're not aware of any issues Please may I have a phone service so I can keep in touch with UCLH

  • rabarber3181 Robert Barber (@rabarber3181) reported

    @virginmedia you have the worst customer service going. 3 calls over 2 days, all lasting at least a hour, 2 automatically cut off. Customer of 6.5 years. It’s all about the new customer. People please don’t bother.

  • nimarielau Malou_Moo (@nimarielau) reported

    @virginmedia The problem still persists and by contacting your team it has so far cost £62 by waiting for 2h in total on the phone. That’s unacceptable. When are you going to solve this ongoing issue and get me a refund?

  • MendingTheGap Chris Jeffery (@MendingTheGap) reported

    @virginmedia Being a Disabled customer I have no phone service and I am a priority customer

  • NWS_23 Nigel (@NWS_23) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is you cannot offer anything more definitive than that. That’s the same as what I was told two weeks ago. All the while, we get charged for a service we cannot use.

  • tincanfield Tim Camfield (@tincanfield) reported

    @virginmedia I need to cancel my broadband contract as moving to a house which already has internet, and your phone line hangs up on me. Please count today as the start of my 30 day notice period. Account no. 630282203.

  • clairebelmont Claire Belmont (@clairebelmont) reported

    @virginmedia Ok now my internet connection is not working at all (pages won’t load) both with WiFi and RJ45 cable. It went from decent to not working between 3pm & 5pm today. How do I speak to someone?

  • Andy_Cam_84 Andrew Cameron (@Andy_Cam_84) reported

    @virginmedia My internet has been down for an hour, been stuck on hold for the last 20mins.

  • gerardjgorman Gerard Gorman (@gerardjgorman) reported

    Doubly annoyed with @vmbusiness as their 'support' appears to be far better trained in gaslighting than IT. I've spent hours on the phone with them over the last couple of weeks and none of them was familiar with basic concepts such as ports and services.
