Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error.

-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

⬣ fyfe79 ☘️ (@fyfe79) reported@VirginMediaNews Ireland's Minister for Justice: "Irish people are stupid". You're a disgrace O'Callaghan. The only people being manipulated are those who only get their news from RTE, Virgin Media etc.
-
simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported@virginmedia I’m getting so fed up with this. Every weekend. Every bank holiday. How long are you going to allow this intermittent signal to go on? I reckon it’s 4 weeks in a row now
-
Abby R (@abbyr6498) reported@virginmedia never been so pissed off about something so minor. But the way your customer service team are is ridiculous. Then to try and say I will arrange the charge to be waived as if that solves the issue. Nothing should be waived for starters as I didnt get what I purchased
-
Heidi Service (@KrKoKiKhKeKy1) reported@virginmedia Ive just had my new bill through £102.34, I've had the same box and internet for years no add ons and my bill is going up and up, I need to cancel my box but keep the internet. If you can't, i will find somewhere else.
-
r (@gtgrach) reported@virginmedia @Virgin my broadband has been down for almost 12 hours. The issue was raised via telephone and on the website at 3pm today, the fix time keeps going up by an hour each time on the website and still nothing resolved!!!! Absolute joke!!! FIX IT!!!!!!! USELESS PRICKS
-
Henley (@HenleyDB) reported@GreyBlackstone @virginmedia They're charging me over £105 for only broadband. They're a bunch of greedy jokers. I had an issue and called them, they made things worse. I'm stuck not renewing my contract. If they mess up again, I end up paying even more but on a new contract or accidentally disconnected.
