@virginmedia I’ve had issues during my 12month contract & I still rang up to renew. I was then told I wasn’t entitled to any new customer deals & I’d have to pay a £1 more a month for your budget service compared to what a new customer would pay for your top package.

@virginmedia @marcyeboah That’s the problem. You can’t help on social media as you are not empowered to do so. You merely advise to call the number that is causing all of the issues in the first place

@virginmedia disgusted that as a valued customer for over 15 years, I’m moving property, wanting to move my services to my new address but because it is above a business you will not install so you are charging me for closing my account which I do not want to do 😡

@virginmedia @McBeth1977 You need to actually get to speak to somebody in order to raise a complaint.

@virginmedia Any deal that a new customer can get would be fine :) I don’t think it’s fair a customer that’s been with you for 10 years who already has all the equipment needed should pay more for less

@stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

@virginmedia @Ofcom I now have a recording of the last advisor who I spoken to... terrible terrible service and I will not ever return to @virginmedia. What a waste after 20 years of being with you. What a shame, I will send the recording to @ofcom and cancel the direct debit 👍🏻

2nd attempt to cancel my account and @virginmedia hang up again. I requested to raise a complaint and they hang up! @Ofcom will be contacted. (Seen as you’re not allowing a consumer to raise a complaint)

@virginmedia Getting seriously fed up of watching something on Netflix and 20 mins in and it goes off again. Same with my phone, always has an exclamation bar next to it. Internet is awful, i was told if im not getting what im supposed to be i can cancel which is what i will be

@stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

Absolutely disgusted with the poor customer service and attitude of ‘Stefan’ from @virginmedia - rude, unhelpful and decided to end the call by hanging up instead of following my request to speak to a manager.

@MattTRFC @Stemac2010 @virginmedia Yes Matt, I was shocked too I had no choice but to hand my 30days notice in, I’ve been with them since 2009 no way I’m paying £1 more a month for 100mb compared to what a new customer would pay for 300mb!

My war with virgin media is finally over. After three years I managed to get through to customer service really quickly and I also got offered a discount which means now my contract is at a reasonable price thank you for listening.@virginmedia #tenacitypays

@virginmedia How do I go about claiming compensation for loss of service, looks like it’s going to be out for whole day till 1800. I’ve got exam coming up soon and I need internet to study.

@virginmedia is there an issue with mobile phone signal in Dunkeld and Birnam? i have had none since 6pm yesterday but 5 miles down the road is fine. If so do we know when this will likely be resolved as 18 hours seems a long time

@virginmedia Please stop claiming the outage is only in Reading. It's in at least London & Manchester as well, as you can see from any third party downage reporting tool. Also on here you're stating a fix by 3 but on your service page it's saying 9pm!! How do we work? Useless.

@virginmedia @O2 For the love of God, pls sort it out! No internet and no phone signal this morning to use as a Hotspot for work. Your own site isn't even working to show there's problems and had to find out via @downdetector - Really unacceptable! 😡

How @SkyUK can charge £81.50 for Signature, Broadband Unlimited (18mb down) and anytime calls is beyond me. @virginmedia you’re in my area but are you any good?
