    @virginmedia need to chat with someone about lowering my bill £100 per month is getting ridiculous! Tried using the chat function on the app but it's not working

  • markfrobi
    Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

    @virginmedia My Mother in law recently went into care with the late stages of Alzheimers and as power of attorney of her affairs I have tried to cancel her phone contract however your customers service did not want to know. They marked the file closed and said I would 1/3

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

    @virginmedia As per usual there’ll be no problems in the area, I’ll get told to unplug the box, then you’ll book an engineer for about 5days time, meanwhile the problem magically disappears #badservice

    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

    kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

  • textmaniaa
    Tracey Brooks (@textmaniaa) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

    Denis Cudahy (@cudda69) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia receive a final account for £63 and that would be the end of things. The final account never arrived however the outstanding account has been passed to BPOB collections who bumped it up to £269.96. I have paid the account off, so sincerely hope that Mr Branson 1/3

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

    Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

  • Kimbow21
    Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

    Fran Méndez (@FranMendez_) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia I already called 0345454111 option 1, 2 then 4 and waited for more than 1h and you hung up on me several times. At the moment I've been waiting for more than 3 hours in the 07533051809 @WhatsApp chat and it's just a bot. Terrible!

  • CRiMEYBear
    CRiMEBear (@CRiMEYBear) reported

    @virginmedia You owe us about £50 now, and we keep counting. We tried to call (was on the phone for two 2hours, was connected to literally every person in the bloody building and then just disconnected, this happened multiple times and you never called back)

  • Wesfryday
    Wesley Fry (@Wesfryday) reported

    Can I just swap provider without having to contact the dreaded @virginmedia. The customer service is truly the worse ever, but the product is quite good. But I shouldn’t have to pay for something I’m not even using

  • roburdick
    Rob (@roburdick) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, the problem is no one answers the phone and an hour on hold is too much! I would like to cancel my contract but finding this difficult due to lack of customer support. I would like somebody to call me back. Maybe you could add a callback function?

  • CRiMEYBear
    CRiMEBear (@CRiMEYBear) reported

    @virginmedia HONEST TO GOD!!! You guys have by far the WORST service there is. Since 1 1/2 months we are trying to switch our WIFI to our new property and you are just blood INCAPABLE!!! However, you are happy to just take our money, for a service we cannot use.

    @virginmedia We need to discuss your poor retention offers for existing (indeed, longstanding) Virgin customers -- but how can we if we can't get thru on the phone? My partner has tried your website but evidently that's malfunctioning too.
