    Bill Bishop (@ArcanumDesign) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

    Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

    @SuperfastStaffs please let @virginmedia lay their cables in #Bilbrook and #Codsall we need proper #fibre broadband. We are being left behind with the copper solution that @WeAreOpenreach leave us with and it’s getting worse! @south_staffs @GavinWilliamson @StaffordshireCC

  • Mitz__P
    Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

  • unit_1974
    🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

  • Plumberguyuk
    Mike Hamer (@Plumberguyuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I don't think much will happen given virgin's track record but on the plus side you've given lots of material for my delegates on next Saturdays Customer Service module.

  • DickyDodd
    Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Trysull, England

    @virginmedia media retentions and I got cut off and no call back. Ambismal customer service.

  • terrysankey
    Terry Sankey (@terrysankey) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

  • HJMKent
    Howard Martin (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Yes but I just tells me there are no problems. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but stopped when I held wifi button down - it's now constantly flashing & that wont stop it & web site says in normal operating all green lights should be off.

  • GeorgieMaley
    Georgie Colley (@GeorgieMaley) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

  • clairoconnor39
    Clair O'Connor (@clairoconnor39) reported

    @virginmedia funny how couple months ago u email to say no price hikes and today u do a 360 & put the price up! How come you are the only service that enforces changes to pride in the middle of contract?!

  • rentrebel
    Rent Rebel (@rentrebel) reported

    @nealeu @virginmedia They're all bastards! Rail fares are up aswell ! I mean, wtf?! Do we all have to be destitute and stealing food for this to end, or what?

    @TheJammieTV @virginmedia hope your ok, lets hope them 10 minutes didn't effect you to much if it, sending thoughts and prayers at this awful time in your life.

  • paulahillier
    Paula Hillier (@paulahillier) reported

    Wow! An hour on hold to @virginmedia to be told I have to tie in for 18mths to remove a service or make any changes to reduce my bill (because they’re increasing prices yet again). Then asked to hold and got cut off. #customerservice #virginmedia

  • elise_john85
    Elise (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    Awesome, so effectively @virginmedia raise current loyal customers prices to fund the discount new customers can get in their sale. Roll on buying my own house and not being tied to them anymore. 12 years of this crap!

  • jpbingley
    James Peoples (@jpbingley) reported

    @virginmedia spent 2 hours, mostly on hold today to briefly speak to your Indian call centres, achieved absolutely nothing, spoke to a UK call centre and made progress in 5 minutes. Problem still not fixed, your Indian call centres are a waste of time and money.

  • Mcfcok71
    StavPetrou BSc(Hons) Part time model (@Mcfcok71) reported

    @virginmedia @rickkoz64 You put it up every year with out fail, stop chatting rubbish. It's not worth the old price, let alone adding more on

    @rickkoz64 @virginmedia Good to know I can cancel my contract if I wanted to.

  • lewishorsey92
    Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet service is a ******* shambles. How do I contact someone to make an official complaint about the service I receive. Which is non existent for most of the week?
