    @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 😡😡😡

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

    @virginmedia Please can u let me know if Virgin emails are down? I can’t log into my account. I get this: “Your Virgin Media Mail account is currently unavailable. This is either because your Virgin Media Mail account is locked, or because you don’t have an active account with us

    @Mccartney2Phil @virginmedia Down for 8 days. Started our contract last Wednesday and still haven't been able to watch TV 😡

  • ReformUKLincoln
    Reform UK - Lincoln Branch (@ReformUKLincoln) reported

    @Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.

  • Spidey_marv
    Shane_spidey🕸 (@Spidey_marv) reported

    I'd like to know why virgin media keeps going on and off its ridiculous honestly never known a provider like it

  • jph1962
    OfficialJohnHarrison AWMM 3838 (@jph1962) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia One other issue they never mention, is if you leave any email addresses die after 3 months. For some people not an issue, however I’ve used theirs for 10 years all my contacts use it, even banks, shops etc.

  • itswesty
    Matt West (@itswesty) reported

    @virginmedia Residential I've had 4 calls that have cut out after a few minutes and I've had to cancel a project. An engineer is coming out tomorrow. Not going well...

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    What this comes down to is Virgin Media not wanting consumers to be able to skip adverts anymore using pause and rewind live TV. I assume they get more from advertising money when people are forced to watch adverts on their streaming boxes. Fine, I understand that. But lying and misselling and treating customers like this in order to achieve that is unacceptable.

  • asher_pr1nce
    Elliott (@asher_pr1nce) reported

    @virginmedia my app says we're out of contract, I have tried 4 times to renew it with the same package, for cheaper and it says I'd get a email but, I've never received one. With my bill at £115+ now, I want this sorted otherwise I will shop around for better options.
