  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m also sick of calling this number being told to press 1 then 2, when I get past 1 it asks for the account number no option to speak to a real person can I just get the phone number to speak to a real person who will help me

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

  • Pinkandwild MJ (@Pinkandwild) reported from Bolton, England

    In case you didn’t get it @Virgin @virginmedia I’ve #switched my #mobile, #broadband & #TV tomorrow but your pettiness has taken my service away already - don’t be sending me a ******* bill! #SameShitDifferentDay #ShitService

    @virginmedia Hi, my 4G/Phone calls/Texts arent working on my phone even though I have 4 bars of signal, wondering if it's a phone problem or a problem with the virgin network

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    2nd attempt to cancel my account and @virginmedia hang up again. I requested to raise a complaint and they hang up! @Ofcom will be contacted. (Seen as you’re not allowing a consumer to raise a complaint)

  • Alisonbirchall4 Alison Birchall (@Alisonbirchall4) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia and I can’t get on the service status page either!

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia You replying like this is extremely poor customer service. You are insinuating I have been disconnected when I simply want cancel my account. **** it I’ll cancel the direct debit and just leave the country. @Ofcom

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia disgusted that as a valued customer for over 15 years, I’m moving property, wanting to move my services to my new address but because it is above a business you will not install so you are charging me for closing my account which I do not want to do 😡

  • KRobbo1982 Karl Robinson (@KRobbo1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia are a joke! Ive lost my services for today due to their incompetence. Been on the phone for 45 mins and got nowhere. Complaint lodged which will also get nowhere i bet.

  • UBuildmain Jeff Griffiths (@UBuildmain) reported from Atherton, England

  • jmcloughlin jmcloughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    ITV is down on Virgin Media in Liverpool. This means Gardeners’ World is going to get ratings akin to City of Death Part 4.

  • BobbyBattersby bobby (@BobbyBattersby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ITV gone down on @virginmedia

  • Shotstopper007 Karl Smyth (@Shotstopper007) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia @VikkiJohnstone Your service page doesn’t work either. Get the message, this page isn’t working right now. Try again later or log into your own account. Try to log in, and that isn’t working either!!!!! What the hell is going on. I moved from sky to get away from this, and not it happened again

  • DuncanHarrop Duncan (@DuncanHarrop) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately I’ve been given no reference. When I have gotten through to someone they’ve only said theres an outage and will be fixed by 11th Feb, then 17th Feb...

  • chrisjonbennett Chris Bennett (@chrisjonbennett) reported

    @virginmedia I've been on the phone with you for over an hour and now you've just cut me off. I've been trying to cancel my contract / disconnect services for a month now. I'm cancelling my DD - this is unacceptable service.

  • dave_taylor1265 Dave(6x🏆)🔴CHAMP19NS 🔴 (@dave_taylor1265) reported

    @virginmedia we cancelled our contract had various calls to keep the service but told them no.we have now had an email saying thanks for making changes and started a new contract tried to call for days but no answer if we get no response we will be getting in touch with @Ofcom

  • _Jxeleach Joe (@_Jxeleach) reported

    @virginmedia Ironically he said the last time there was a problem with the “little green box at the end of the street” and we needed switching to a new Chanel. I’m not sure if that means anything to you but even after he’s done that... it’s still broken. Previously they blamed the hardware

  • AstroTaff AstroTaff (@AstroTaff) reported

    Can someone at #virginmedia help explain a very confusing letter sent to me please?

  • rtalwar Rohit Talwar (@rtalwar) reported

    Does anyone know how to cancel @virginmedia broadband? I've been trying for ten days and their customer care people are the worst and rudest I've ever come across.

  • annecambridge Anne Campbell (@annecambridge) reported

    @LucyWCam @virginmedia I had same problem and eventually cancelled my subscription. That prompted them to ring me! I have now changed over to Zen for broad band and just using free view for TV. It is wonderfully trouble free and costs a fraction of Virgin- and they have terrific customer service!

  • rtalwar Rohit Talwar (@rtalwar) reported

    By now I have spent ~12 hours trying to get rid of a @virginmedia connection. They make you wait, make you speak to 3 different [unhelpful] teams and then disconnect while you're talking. The lack of service to paying customers is frankly shocking.

  • Tim31065542 Tim (@Tim31065542) reported

    @smiles333 @MartinSLewis @virginmedia Just stop your DD. Their quick enough to contact you then. When they took over from NTL they tried to screw me over by breaking the channels up into packages. But I never paid them a penny because I’d never been informed that they’d taken over NTL.

  • elleymariee elley (@elleymariee) reported

    @virginmedia hey my box has broken and I can’t get hold of anybody l! Could you please help?
