  • PhilippaMiss Philippa L (@PhilippaMiss) reported

    @virginmedia If I click on that, I get ‘We can’t run a check on your service right now’. This is really poor. Box just flashes green all the time. Vague to non-existent explanation given on the phone. What am I paying for?

  • RobOFeckit Rob Begley (@RobOFeckit) reported

    @virginmedia Complaint C-0702231883 I think I've made up my mind to leave Virgin Media. Dreadful.

  • edengem Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia Can you find out why this email issue keeps happening please

  • RobOFeckit Rob Begley (@RobOFeckit) reported

    @virginmedia Currently on the phone to the Pune call centre - they cannot help me!!!! What is going on with Virgin? Why can't my Virgin media package be fixed? The manager of the call centre will not speak to me. The operative is trying to help. Disgraceful.

  • CraigJThomson69 Dr Craig Thomson (@CraigJThomson69) reported

    @virginmedia Seriously the most insanely bad customer service ever. Almost 5 hours to be connected to an agent on chat. Just a bot that keeps sending the same stupid messages. If I was considering leaving before I'm now looking at other options.

  • RYLNCoaching Robert Yeo (@RYLNCoaching) reported

    @virginmedia I feel you are trolling me: phone, chat (both with monster wait times - which is the issue here) or post.

  • Scrawny71 Scrawny (@Scrawny71) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband problem again in SW17 7DQ, any ideas? Does anyone know if @skybroadband is any better?
