    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

  • owensirons93
    Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

    @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

  • marcgallagher82
    Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

    @virginmedia reply to your tweet “NO” my wife pays a lot of money to your company for a poor service.

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..

  • jamesrfyoung
    James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • 1CreativeRay
    Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    @Pugsie1960 @flyabout7 Honestly what is it with these people? If they're not hacking your X or FB account they're sending scam emails. When that doesn't work they phone and tell you they're Henry from Virgin Media and your Internet is down. To quote Jim Royle Henry my a**e xxx

    @biggle1908 I've been with Virgin Media since they were called NTL. I did switch to BT for a spell, but the speed was **** in comparison; I soon went back to Virgin Media. This is just for the internet, though.

    Does anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.

    @virginmedia I have a Virgin TV V6 Box with lots of tivo recordings. I received an email today stating that I need to upgrade as my v6 service will stop soon. Please advise when, so I can plan ahead. Thanks.

    @RichardMorrow10 @virginmedia You’ll be lucky. I left them & changed Broadband company. They said I was due credit & would send a cheque (cheque 🥴). Still waiting. Bet it never arrives.
