    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

    SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡

  • jooz282
    Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

  • samanthadoe1
    Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

    @virginmedia refer a friend £50 each cashback appears to be a SCAM. It's been three months now and I'm being passed from person to person, company to company. It's unacceptable and no legitimate company would surely put a customer through this??

  • LutherB40510976
    Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • RaffiGuj
    Raffi (@RaffiGuj) reported

    @virginmedia any chance you can give me an update on the issue? site says would be fixed by 4pm its well over now. Been down over 5 hours.

  • ethansgrumps
    Tony Collier BEM (@ethansgrumps) reported

    @virginmedia Says there are no issues

  • CyberRebel4
    @CyberRebel (@CyberRebel4) reported

    @virginmedia Saying possibly by 7pm. Been down since lunchtime so not at all happy. And only two weeks since the last outage. Basically paying for no service.

  • StephanHough
    Stephan Hough (@StephanHough) reported

    @virginmedia They could not offer me a competitive price compared to other providers. There is just no incentive to stay with Virgin as a loyal customer and I will just have to switch somewhere cheaper.

  • theoneyouknew

    @virginmedia trying to PHONE you because my broadband is not working properly, what number can I use as the main number is full of robots.

    Kate Holmes (@KateHol90819828) reported

    @virginmedia He was installing broadband, he knocked as we have it but he couldn’t see how it was patched down (i’ve no idea!), he’s not been outside their house whilst my WIFI has been off, he wasn’t at the green box either.
