    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

  • JasonCHaydon Jason Haydon (@JasonCHaydon) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, I've been on hold for about 3 hours over 3 calls with 3 different agents trying to sort out my home move. No one seems to be able to help and each time I've been put on a silent hold for over 30 minutes. I need this sorted ASAP. Can you please help

  • cazamic Carolyn Clayton (@cazamic) reported

    @virginmedia I have had a poor wifi signal for a year now. used to always show the wifi lights, now its orange and its terrible. The catch up tv never works, i gets errors gallor. I want to leave, next door on sky but would accept an engineer trying to fix the issues first.

  • Profitprofit1 Investology (@Profitprofit1) reported

    @virginmedia Getting very slow connection than my usual speed. Please look at the situation

  • ML_2193 Mike (@ML_2193) reported

    @virginmedia now reneging on services offered in text chat after all the hassle involved with our installation after moving. Bunch of con artists. Would really advise anyone looking at getting Virgin Media to go to a different supplier. Nothing but problems with this lot

  • samkkalleyne Samantha Alleyne 💙 (@samkkalleyne) reported

    @virginmedia I have done this. The matter has not been resolved. As I said this seems to be a technical glitch at your end that is a new problem and is affecting many people. Hence me asking you to investigate. I searched here on Twitter and found many users with same issue.

  • cazamic Carolyn Clayton (@cazamic) reported

    @virginmedia And I want to leave now because of all this. I am sure my contract ended in January. I have made complaint with their unethical way of taking money from me. I really have had enough of virgin. Unless they can sort my problem and give me a strong signal i want to leave.

  • KieranSumner Kieran 🏂 (@KieranSumner) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate it may take longer to resolve a complaint but as a standard you should be providing consumers with written Acknowledgement of the complaint within 5 business days. Of which you have failed to do so.

  • KieranSumner Kieran 🏂 (@KieranSumner) reported

    @virginmedia It was made over the phone through one of your advisors. I’ve found the “complaint tracker” but whoever raised the complaint has raised it with an incorrect contact number. They’ve put a landline as my preferred contact which nobody will be able to reach me on as I don’t use it.

  • attztt attztt (@attztt) reported

    @virginmedia I'm repeatedly getting calls to my landline from "Virgin Media" saying there are some issues with my internet. I've been assuming these are fraudulent and not actually Virgin Media, but want to be certain. How can I tell whether these calls are legitimate or not?
