    @virginmedia 4th failed appointment. I’ve just called to cancel my order and instead I received a Delayed Activation email. My instruction was to cancel my order today. I do not want to deal with a company as useless as you, so do not try and be clever with me.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is there a national problem with services or what? I’ve had intermittent internet for 3 weeks now. This is taking the proverbial. Says it’s fine but nothing is happening????

  • Moonface1975 Rachel Walker BLACK LIVES MATTER (@Moonface1975) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia how can I get in touch with you to discuss our huge hike in monthly payment for TV and Broadband? It is impossible to get through on the phone. You’re not even put in a queue! Please help or Sky TV beckons!

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Tues realised we’d been hacked via phishing email. Contacted Customer Service everyday for help & they have been useless. Told us they would turn our emails off for 48hrs to secure it. They’re can’t now get us back on despite 📞over an hr.😡

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve been trying for 40 mins to get thorough to cancel but no-one is answering the phone, i wish to cancel my services with you today.

  • MarkPBaines Mark Baines (@MarkPBaines) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia been with you for years and your prices are going up due to your service which frankly is rubbish all goes down so you lose a days pay working from home and you still want it paid for! You’re an absolute joke! Don’t worry though you’ve lost a customer!

  • PHEFC83 PH (@PHEFC83) reported from Liverpool, England

    @TonyhEFC @virginmedia Can't be as bad as those speeds I'm getting!!

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Your Customer Service really is so bad...looks like another hour long phone-call AGAIN with probably somebody AGAIN, who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Definitely taking our customer else where after this 😡

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

    @mikewebb227 @BockerWright @virginmedia I have been with Virgin for 17 years but had nothing but problems with their WiFi and the service has been poor. It took a long wait on the phone a couple of weeks ago but have finally cancelled my contract.

  • DaveFildes82 Dave Fildes (Fylo) (@DaveFildes82) reported from St Helens, England

    @sthelensredMUFC @virginmedia I’d cancel anyway mate we’ve had issues over the years with them but dad sticks with them

  • JonnyBWoode Jon (@JonnyBWoode) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Is there any way that I can have the Sky Multiscreen access but only on the Sky Go app so I can see what I'm recording etc for less than £10 a month? Seems ridiculously high for a service I used to get on @virginmedia for free...

  • AM76Design Hudson (@AM76Design) reported

    @DJLKP @virginmedia I was having low speeds and bad range with Virgin and what sorted it was buying a router. Apparently the one you get supplied is really low quality. I’m now getting over 110mb with the new router.

  • zoeajayixo zoë (@zoeajayixo) reported

  • TaylerJade95 Tayler-Jade (@TaylerJade95) reported

  • Jonah6882 Jonah (@Jonah6882) reported
