    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

    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….

  • KeithRwc
    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

    Chris (@Swissffs1980) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I did exactly same. Sacked Virgin off, expensive and loads of problems. You Fibre have been spot on 👍 I wouldn’t change from these now. Never had problems and cheap.

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    The one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.

  • Elycat

    Change your supplier, insurance or utility, every time, go through QuidCo/ TopCashback You get whatever new customer prices and get the cashback. Got £45 back for my car insurance and £35 for a new credit card this year alone… £90 back on Virgin Media Broadband last year too

  • boomerangjf
    Jackie (@boomerangjf) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on? They has been intermittent issues with Broadband in my area for a couple of weeks. No communication? Hoping we won’t notice? Virgin Service is appalling!

  • chrislove_89
    Chris Love (@chrislove_89) reported

    @andy_mac21 @virginmedia You’re right Andy, just a couple of responses from “Core Claim Support” which clearly isn’t affiliated with the actual company and is some spammer/scammer trying to get me to DM them my details. They don’t care.

  • CleanzineEditor
    Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported

    @virginmedia I've just sent a message & X told me there was a problem & my message would be saved. I'm hoping you receive it soon.

    Frustrating internet outage all day from @virginmedia while neighbors stayed connected! 😡 ​Had to cancel crucial work meetings and risk client deadlines with zero proactive suppor from service provider. ​Anyone else experiencing selective blackout?
