    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia I'm guessing they don't work Saturday Sunday, so that will take us from Thursday to some point Monday for a resolution? Would it be quick if I phone up, send me a case ref number or something?

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    @virginmedia had a link to change my password and every combination I’m trying says strength invalid. Help.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia No, not really as you have reliability issues in my home which I believe is part the router and part the virgin line coming into my home.

    @virginmedia You've been "working on it" for days. I dont want to have to watch on a poxy little screen I want the service you get paid to provide. How much are you refunding sky sports customers for the loss of service ?

  • thedarkweeally
    Al (@thedarkweeally) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia Try You fibre been with them 18 months, no issues I took the cheap package 100Mbs download speed 25 quid a month but they're offering better deals now.

  • Notts52
    Mo (@Notts52) reported

    @virginmedia DM about what? From my post you have my details, the situation that repeats and repeats and repeats. None of this happened until VM decided that you would make changes for better security by having the VMO2 p'word. Is this problem just us or are others affected? #virginmedia #O2

  • conjuredundead
    Conjured Undead 🧟‍♂️ (@conjuredundead) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, please help me further, by please looking into my issue and communicating clearly the fault and rectification plans.

  • BigBobbyCampbe1

    @DavidPaintdw @virginmedia Just browsing different packages as mine has run out with my provider. Won’t be touching these now - seems a lot and poor contract agreements.

  • SarahSanders58
    Sarah Sanders💙 (@SarahSanders58) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia They just offered me savings of over £50 a month without even asking. Still need a landline because mobile reception here is awful. Got Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, HBO, Netflix so all set to not move from the sofa when it actually starts raining.

  • marcwalby
    The Yellow Head (@marcwalby) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Interesting, this was going to be my move in October. I have never used the phone line and we don't watch any of the Virgin TV stuff. Was it really that hard to get just Broadband?

  • AdrianBoarder
    leave us alone (@AdrianBoarder) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Depending on the 5g service where you live I purchased a £100 5G router and an EE unlimited data sim for £20 a month. I’m not in an especially good area for EE 5G but I still get 80-100MB download and 2-10 upload which is more than enjoy for me.

  • rwfc236
    Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia as usual Virgin media lets me down when I need it. Trying to watch the West Ham game and am in an impossible loop as my passkey is not recognised, it doesn’t actually show how or why and then the link does nothing. Pathetic as usual what a waste of money

  • glentfc27
    Neil Skivington (@glentfc27) reported

    @virginmedia That's all well and good but everyone is paying for a service......which we aren't getting presently.
