    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well, I’m getting nowhere fast, Twitter reply said they could help, but haven’t. Just gave me a no to text to, which won’t accept texts, and a no to ring that I already had. Rung again to no avail. Can’t answer anything about my overdue refund, disgraceful!!

  • GibboLFC1892 Andy Gibson (@GibboLFC1892) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia I want to downgrade. Lowest TV package (no BT Sport) 50MB broadband Weekend calls How much pm would this be. Currently on Full house and I've been told it's going to £85 pm. This is far too much. Need to get costs down.

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia The 4 people I spoke to seemed to think they were running late from the visit last Thursday, lady I spoke to was helpful and was calling the tech that visited the problem, another 5 days later and still no update!

  • FloatyFrocks Chris G 🇪🇺 (@FloatyFrocks) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yet another Tweet you'll probably ignore. What's the point of being on Twitter if you never respond? Still harassing us over returning your equipment. 1st, before our contract ended and now, even though we sent it back on the day after our contract ended. Response?

  • iamrossiofleigh Martin Ross (@iamrossiofleigh) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia I cant get a WiFi signal unless I’m sat next to the router 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 anything you can help with its becoming more and more annoying

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

  • GibboLFC1892 Andy Gibson (@GibboLFC1892) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia Want to downgrade my package. Your online service does not work or wait an hour on the phone. I'll just cancel my direct debit..They'll ring me then. Off to BT

    @andycampbell87 @virginmedia I just did it told Ofcom of the vast problems I was having since January last year. Engineers promised never sent nothing was getting fixed they breached there contract. So enough was enough. Was paying anymore for a service I was definitely not getting.
