@virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

@virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

@virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

@virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

@virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

@virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

@virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

@virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

@virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

(@dominiclondon) reported
@virginmedia I hve called for 2 months. Nothing! Im still trying but the automated svc cuts me off always. I now represent 6 houses who face the same. What do we do? We are facing either asking for legal help to get tech support from you? Or getting a call? It is not acceptable.

@virginmedia hello, I am running in circles between you and your phone support. I rang up earlier this month and was supposed to get a call back from a manager - LOL can’t believe I believed I would get a call back. Now I’m ringing up again and they can’t help me.

@virginmedia So I understand.... you have 28 days to resolve it but I have to wait another 28 before I can refer to the ombudsman should the complaint not have reached its resolution?

@virginmedia Ok, I’ve had some alterations to my network, my iPad has broadband albeit slow, my iPhone is still on 3 & 4G still no Wi-fi, so not impressed, it’s as it was before the call.
