    .@virginmedia we have had NO service for 2 days & our IT provider says it’s because construction workers have cut through your lines. Is this correct & if so, when do you anticipate this will be rectified please?

  • Jessybell1988 Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve called 08454541111 several times and can’t get through to anyone in a UK call centre who can help. Please can I have a direct number for a UK call centre for complaints or cancellation department immediately? This has been going on months! I am very stressed and very annoyed

    Well after 20 years of being a loyal @skytv customer its time to leave. They have taken my custom for granted expecting me to accept poor customer service well I won't & I'm not. @skytv loss is very much @virginmedia gain.

    @virginmedia quit harassing me to return your kit. It took 2 days on the phone post price hikes to cancel services now your customer contact options loop to nowhere. You haven't even sent a return kit or courier so ffs stop bombarding with texts & emails to send your router back!

  • hugemassiff Simon Hughes (@hugemassiff) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hey there Virgin. Our V6 box packed in last night and we were promised a technician call before 10am today. No call & tried to ring back with no joy - still waiting ! Help please

  • aliander alex wright (@aliander) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm fed up of trying to get in touch to sort out my rubbish broadband service, due to the fact you cant keep your end of the contract please cancel mine.

  • peterrobey Peter Robey (@peterrobey) reported from Risca, Wales

    @playzone1000 @virginmedia Had exactly the same experience! Has to be the worst customer service experience ever!

  • Jessybell1988 Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I hope so. The extremely patronising and rude person I spoke to yesterday in an abroad call centre told me there was no complaints department and he couldn’t do anything at all until I paid the bill.

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

  • Jessybell1988 Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia We tried the chat option and after going through security questions got redirected to another department which was then closed and the chat ended 😡 I have sent an email complaint on your website. Appalling service and communication from day one.

  • theasthinkings Thea (@theasthinkings) reported from Abergavenny, Wales

    @virginmedia please Please PLEASE help me. I have been waiting for a response for hours on your webchat and still haven't spoken to anyone. All I'm trying to do is move my broadband to a new address. Customer service shouldn't be this hard.

    @SkyCinema As a virginmedia customer who has sky cinema , I think it’s gonna be cheaper to cancel my sit-y cinema sub and sub to paramount separately
