Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

@virginmedia I rang after the email and they assured me they have applied a discount and would stay the same price for my contract. I agreed a fix price and if that's not what I got then I have been lied too, which is a miss sale and the ombudsman will be contacted, again.

Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

@virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact your call centre for 15 minutes and I’ve tried all the options and I can’t get through to ANYONE!! I want to cancel my contract and it doesn’t give you the option online to do so!! Can someone cancel it from your social media team?

.@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

@virginmedia I just wanted to bring your customer service to your attention. A friend who was due to have installed at the end of the month has just cancelled and 2 other family members have also said they are cancelling when their contracts expire as they are having the same experiences.

Why is my virgin media 200mbps Internet gone really slow when I'm trying to download something but it stops being slow when I pause it. I've only had VM 3 weeks now. Does it have to do with the new fibre line that were put in my street? @virginmedia #virginmedia

@virginmedia . Your customer service is appalling. Chasing me for money from a service I cancelled a month ago. 12 hours and counting getting kicked around. Absolutely shocking.
