  • mallen_87 Matt Allen 🔶 (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my services with you. When I go online to do this I’m directed to call in. When I call in the IVR directs me online. Can you help?

  • Hnc365 Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England

    @EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet service is ******* crap

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ******* **** paying all this money for your internet service to go down at least once a week. Absolutely shite

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet service is a ******* shambles. How do I contact someone to make an official complaint about the service I receive. Which is non existent for most of the week?

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

  • magpie1862 Dean Thomas (@magpie1862) reported

    @virginmedia Help I need to contact you regarding not renewing my contract. No ones answering the phone and there's no e mail address. When contract ends in March I will cancel all payments. I'm fingers crossed awaiting a response

  • C_JRowley Charlotte Rowley (@C_JRowley) reported

    @virginmedia 1 of 3: Thank you for responding. Yesterday they were told their job had been put on the roster 4 times & never completed, Friday 2 of your employees sat in their van for hours, said they would be back Saturday & never arrived.

  • Sarah97851167 S S (@Sarah97851167) reported

    @virginmedia please could I dm you? I’m having issues with internet and can’t get it resolved over the phone

  • Official_SBerty Bert (@Official_SBerty) reported

    @Danny_McMoomins Worked in a Virgin Media Call Centre, there was a Royal Mail Postman working within the centre, wore the uniform the lot, only Postie in Swansea that never saw the rain or the inside of the mail centre! Even went on strike with the lads when they wanted better working conditions

  • 6THIAGOAT6 THIAGOAT 💪 (@6THIAGOAT6) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, and it says there's no none issues but there clearly is as my internet was fine before last Wednesday

  • od_neil Neil Od (@od_neil) reported

    @virginmedia They are now saying 2nd march. Why can I not be a priority and they keep referring to the issue as being in the house. It's not indoors and I can't understand why this is not being logged correctly. I feel that 1 of 2 things will occur. No one arrives or not fixed.

  • DarkMondo DarkMondo (@DarkMondo) reported

    @virginmedia Your service page says there is no issue but when I call it you guys apparently there’s a issue and won’t be resolved until the 25th meaning the issue would have been going on for 10 days. SHOCKING

  • Sim_Alastair SimAlastair (@Sim_Alastair) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, called via the landline. I've never had a call like this before, and I don't believe it was a coincidence that I have just updated my 'prefered contact method' with VM 30 minutes earlier.
