  • xmaarkyx Mark Hughes (@xmaarkyx) reported

    @virginmedia a complicate waste of time and effort it’s never accurate and even when you had a complete meltdown earlier in the year it showed a normal service status tbh I’m just waiting for my price increase notice so I can cancel penalty free after more than 15 years I’ve had enough

  • robertquee robert (@robertquee) reported

    @virginmedia Hi how do I speak to someone regarding a complaint? I've no broadband or phone line and I'm expected to wait a week for an appointment yet I've 2 children doing remote learning for school?

  • DavidMa96528244 David Marsh (@DavidMa96528244) reported

    @virginmedia But you don’t support your paying customers. You put up our bills by over 10% with no improvement in network or service. Currently ranked as one of the worst UK providers 🤬

  • Wonderwom8n Alli G (@Wonderwom8n) reported

    @MisterVivian @NetflixUK @virginmedia Aah that will be it. When I joined about 8/9yrs ago it was only £5.99 month, multiple price increases later it is now over double that price at £13.99 for the same service.

  • DaveTuner1 Dave (@DaveTuner1) reported

    @virginmedia Back up and working, luckily..doesn't inspire confidence when nobody's bothered to contact me or acknowledge the problem though.

  • craigrigby Craig Rigby (@craigrigby) reported

    @virginmedia is there anyone in your support call centres at the moment? On hold for over 1hr yesterday and been on for 30mins now and no sign of any answer?

  • DavidMa96528244 David Marsh (@DavidMa96528244) reported

    @virginmedia so you put your prices up by over 10% at a time of severe recession, stating you are continuing to invest in your network; when complaints and customer service issues are at their highest. Incredible, but sadly believable - profit 1st!

  • ollieleeb Oliver Lee Butcher (@ollieleeb) reported

    @virginmedia How come you make it so easy to add on packages to your tv but you make it impossible to reduce or cancel packages?? Sick of waiting in a queue for hours at a time now

  • Shell123well Happy (@Shell123well) reported

    @virginmedia This doesn’t answer my question at all. I didn’t ask why prices are going up. Why can’t someone respond to me about changing our package/wifi issues please?
