    It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • SpencerSCarter
    Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

    @virginmedia how do I make a serious complaint about my lack of services? 3 months with hardly any services and being fobbed off and now I’ve got no picture at all?! Can my contract end already?!!! 😡😡

  • skydodonnell
    skylar (@skydodonnell) reported

    @virginmedia that’s the page i’m using, it says there’s service problems in my area and when i try to register my loss of service or sign up to receive service updates, it’s impossible because your site won’t allow me to continue with the apostrophe that’s in the surname on my account.

  • MartinS70478682
    Martin Sheridan (@MartinS70478682) reported

    Has anyone else had atrocious service from Virgin Media recently? Disappointing isn’t the word with their service, been a customer for some years but I think it will end soon.

  • bailey02380
    Laura Jane Bailey (@bailey02380) reported

    @virginmedia Our mobile phone bills have gone up due to having to use data. We can not work from home and definitely not use any streaming sites. I refuse to pay for any extra fees due to a service not being provided.

    Stuart Roberts (@NorthernAuthor) reported

    Hi @virginmedia. Just spent an hour on hold waiting to discuss/renew a TV & broadband deal (not willing to accept your doubling of price for existing customers) Guess I'll just get my new supplier to let you know I've cancelled? PS: Your hold music is God damn awful. You suck.
