    @virginmedia hey virgin media - when I'm told a final figure on my account and find out the agent lied and gave me a higher figure and then your complaint team tell me not to worry it'll be sorted. My contract finished on 30/3 but you've still taken a full month's payment (1/2)

    @virginmedia Checked l the internal cabling and all right etc so hopefully just a lose wire somewhere at the cabinet or something the engineer can easily fix. Is there any refund due to lack of service? I pay £67 a month. Can offset that against my mobile phone data

    @virginmedia Yes , and it says no issues and then asks to check my equipment , this test says there is an issue with my equipment and I should check again in 24 hours so an engineer can be arranged . This has now been saying check back in an hour for the last two hours

    @virginmedia I have tried phoning and am being passed from pillar to post on chat. I have no services. I’m housebound and cannot do anything. I’ve asked for help as suggested and am receiving none. Very unhappy

  • Corney77
    Paul Corney (@Corney77) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia the level of service I’m reviewing from yourselves is disgraceful. None interested in trying to deal with my issue. Just been hung up on AGAIN. Please can someone contact me to help.

  • Thejollyevfan
    The Jolly EV Fan (now living up in the North) (@Thejollyevfan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

  • SiClayton
    Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Hi @O2 @virginmedia have all todays allocated tickets for @peterkay_co_uk been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

  • SimonHolliday13
    Simon (@SimonHolliday13) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it's still not fixed. No TV and no Internet. Both keep dropping in and out intermittently. Which is better than zero service yesterday and I may finally finish that book on conscription I bought in Leeds earlier this year.

  • benrelton
    ben (@benrelton) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Broadband is down in our area, but can’t register loss of service on the website - just won’t work. Any ideas? @virginmedia

  • LumbWriter
    David Lumb Writer (@LumbWriter) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia why is the internet down? I've checked and you're aware of this issue. I would like it sorted out

  • Shaunelious

    When will the channels issue be fixed? @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia fully and reasonably, the agent response was "oh okay" and put the phone down. How do I make a formal complaint about the atrocious service you guys offer? (2/2)

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia So when does that happen and why was this not pointed out at any time in the cancellation process. Now I'm not a customer how do I lodge a formal complaint please?

    Dear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.

    After trying to buy the mosesvhrgovic pvp @virginmedia. ive been told from 3 of your support that the boxing is cancelled tonight due to tge fighters being sick. When questioned about this they said this is the info they were given Wtf is going on

  • Irate_Jobbie
    Irate_Jobbie (@Irate_Jobbie) reported

    @AwTroon Many, many years ago, I called virgin media to tell them I was leaving. They asked why, I said you don't offer value for money anymore. Sorry you're leaving but that is the best price, you already have. It was expensive. No problem, bye now. Next day, virgin cold calls me. Asks me to confirm who I am. I said no, you are calling me, you should know. Guy was annoyed as he was phoning to offer me a better deal. I said fine, I'll call the same retentions team I called yesterday to leave and I'll know it's actually virgin. He got angry, said they can't offer discounts, only he could and if I didn't confirm my details, he couldn't give me the offer. I just told him I could no longer do business with virgin due to such poor security procedures. He seemed very angry about the fact I wasn't willing to give personal identifiable information to a stranger cold calling me. Never paid them a penny again.

    Why are the match streams not working for tonight's matches @SkyFootball @virginmedia People pay a lot of money for this so-called service. It's not good enough

    @LeeHarris @virginmedia The fact you seem shocked by this means 1 of 2 things. 1) You're really dense & didn't research how truly terrible VM services are 2) You went for the cheap option & this is the result

  • AstonVillaDoge
    Unainstein (@AstonVillaDoge) reported

    So done with @virginmedia, live chat is useless, offer you absolutely terrible deals 'Your renewal offer will be £15 a month more than you currently pay, despite above inflation cost increases every April and you will receive nothing extra in return. This is our biggest discount'

    @Dacosta150 @Jojo_agboola Bro, I’m on Youfibre too, lovely network. I dropped virgin media broadband, not because they are bad but cos of Youfibre upload speed. Their 1000mbps download is same with their 1000 upload. I’m on You2000 and it’s been lovely. @Jojo_agboola should try it
