Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

-
Steven Mills (@srmills90) reported@elissetennis I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve had problems trying to watch streams through Amazon Prime via TNT/HBO with my provider (Virgin Media.) It shouldn’t be this confusing! And I can’t even seem to sign up for TNT Sports through the app to watch on my smartphone anymore!
-
Cobes (@AFC_OSRS) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia Ignore them till the death certificate they can't do ****, all smoke n mirrors. Had that issue with my uncle passing. 1 email in writing and when obtained provide death certificate.
-
Mark Oram (@markoram1) reported@virginmedia inc movies & sport & 1gb broadband all for a lady who has never used either and only sends the odd email . We have just spent another evening waiting another missed call and still no response to an email we sent a couple weeks ago . This is all causing her distress .
-
A-A-RON (@rising_lefty) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia They were awful when my nan died. I told them so they could cancel everything, sent proof and still tried to charge each month.
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reportedYour agent kept asking what resolution I wanted, then offered £5. Twice I was reminded how cheap my package is — that others pay £50-60, that pods cost £10-15 elsewhere, that I’m getting them free. I didn’t set the price. A discount on a service that doesn’t work is still service that doesn’t work. Then I was told no manager or grievance contact exists, and that I should cancel. @virginmedia — who owns this?
-
Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported@virginmedia Don’t need the speed testing downstairs that’s fine just upstairs used to be normal but I do need someone tho come lay the cab,e back down
-
Jim Bauld (@jimbauld) reported@virginmedia At £16 for a rental it shouldn’t even be a question … never mind “understanding” and “appreciating” …. Get it sorted 😡
-
Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reportedYes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!
