    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?

    Philip Loeb (@philloeb) reported

    @virginmedia your service is nothing short of abysmal. I signed a contract with you over a week ago, the very next day you sent the wrong contract to me. I have now been on the phone for over 2 hours this week trying to sort out your problem. 1 dept doesn’t speak to the other

    Nottmsteve 🇬🇧 (@nottmsteve) reported

    Had an appt this pm for @virginmedia to come for this phone line transfer. It's bad enough that they want a 5hr window, even worse when they don't show up. Went to lodge a complaint but tells me I'm not the a/c holder. It's been in my name for over 30 years! I'm not best pleased

    @virginmedia That’s all you ever do look into it never any action it improves for a few days then terrible it used to be such great service where has that service gone??

  • rchcool
    It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported

    @virginmedia @sabrevan Yes can you please explain the issue? Repeated occurrences means we can’t rely on the service until you confess the problem and whether it has actually been solved or if you’re just applying temporary fixes to avoid paying compensation to customers

    @virginmedia please can you check your DMs? I have tried contacting your customer service on all other platforms with no avail
