    @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.

    @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

    Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England

    @virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

  • NickHickey84
    Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  • Stephen12857059
    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

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Sheldon, England

    @virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted

  • stumccullagh

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • ReissOmari

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

    Jay (@Jason87r) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Contact ofcom or ombudsman as they have to show responsible attempts to fix the issue if not they need release from contract without penalty and they are also members of the telecoms auto compensation scheme so should be adding a certain amount of credit to ur bills

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Offered me free Sim cards,stuff like that.I said it was fine and waited.Service was back in a few hours. Then I got an apology and refund for waiting at home. Now I just got another apology and another refund for the loss of internet/phone. Virgin is pretty rubbish.

    Well played @virginmedia and @tntsports for offering the @ChampionsLeague final free to customers… but it slightly sucks the audio is out of sync with the visuals!
