    @AssistanceVm @TranslatioNinja @virginmedia That’s a bit of a salty reply. I think your customer was referring to various barriers in the way of cancelling her contract, not the difficulty involved in selecting call options. She’s still been unable to cancel and is being pressured her to keep her contract.

    ....and now my Internet goes down for the second time this month and its only the 5th. Thanks @virginmedia you keep emailing me asking how I found your service tools, well I wish I didn't have to use them so damn much!

  • ollieinleeds
    Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

    Jamesrodgers (@Jamesro17879287) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia what’s the best way of contacting your customer service, every time I ring I’m on hold for over an hour. 2 months without the internet speeds I’m paying for now.

    @virginmedia No it didn’t help, what is the score SL V England John

  • Jamesro17879287
    Jamesrodgers (@Jamesro17879287) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia Awful, I’ve been trying to contact your so called customer service for 2 months, not had 1 reply sat on hold for over an hour on various occasions, currently paying for 200MB and I’m lucky to get 40.

  • 28gem
    Gem 💎 (@28gem) reported from Wakefield, England

    I have been trying since the 19th February to cancel my @virginmedia services. I can’t get through on the phone... ever! I’ve sent numerous messages which haven’t had any response.

    What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  • statto95

    @virginmedia I pay £50 a month for my WiFi and Internet, any particular reason it keeps going down.....??

  • whittickdiver
    paul whittick (@whittickdiver) reported from Sprotbrough, England

    @virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!

  • GaryFretwell1
    Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  • Gag_N_Bone_Man
    Graeme Rayner 💙 (@Gag_N_Bone_Man) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I'm moving to sky, saving a tenner a month and adding sports and movies. I might be back in 18 months. Seems like hopping between providers is the only way to get a decent deal. It's perverse logic. Surely cheaper to retain a customer than gain one? But no, so I'm off.

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • cranworth791
    Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

    @punjabihammer @virginmedia @SkyUK Thanks. Virgin customer service seems in meltdown at present.

  • Dgjbear1
    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya. I’ve been on hold trying to get through to your team that deals with retention for an hour. AN HOUR. And you want to increase my monthly fee by 50%? For this level of customer service?

  • SteveFurni7742
    Steve Furniss (@SteveFurni7742) reported

    @virginmedia Having spent 90 minutes awaiting a call at 8am without any response this morning & viewing your very poor chat bot service, i have to say your customer service is now the poorest ever from an existing customer of over 30 years. I will try again on sunday to resolve my issue

  • andyduncan84
    Andy Duncan (@andyduncan84) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having problems with your newly installed service. Your chat service is rubbish & I’ve been on hold for over 45mins! This is not a great start! Someone better get in touch with me soon or I’ll be cancelling my direct debit!

  • Manc_Gurl
    MancLass (@Manc_Gurl) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spent the best part of my afternoon trying to cancel my expensive out of contract broadband. Chat just exits without on app and PC and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins on phone no one answers. Do I just cancel the £93 a month DD because that is ridiculous

  • billywi56359173
    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ridiculous when you consider how much of a joke your service has been, feel like I’ve been getting robbed for years now that I’ve actually looked around at other suppliers, joke.

  • sjr23
    Sam (@sjr23) reported

    @virginmedia Useless. Moved house and sent self install kit. No socket. Fine. Help me then. Nope I’ve sat on hold three times for an hour so and then cut off and their chat bots also just keep cutting me off. I’m paying to be ignored for help a service that doesn’t work!

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia the people on web chat not working today? Been getting the still in a queue message for almost the last hour and a half. Is it to raise a complaint? So who do talk to raise a complaint about raising a complaint, as the method to raise a complaint is not working!
