@virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

@virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

@virginmedia Yes but I just tells me there are no problems. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but stopped when I held wifi button down - it's now constantly flashing & that wont stop it & web site says in normal operating all green lights should be off.

Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

@virginmedia I’m sorry but your service is so very trash. No internet since last week, telling us to buy a dongle from a different provider, promising a same day appointment when it’s actually in 3 days time. Run me my money.

@virginmedia Thanks for replying. The work was to be done by external contractors. I’ve not been given any reason as customer service are not sure either as they are not on the same systems.

Simon Stewart
(@simonfatbloke) reported
@virginmedia @sandman1600 I’ve had the same problem with the useless customer service personnel. When they don’t have a answer to your problem, they disconnect you so you’ll have to call back and get a different person.

@virginmedia Just had an engineer visit to fix our broadband and TV outage to be told its a cabinet issue and they are unable to resolve. What’s the chances this will be resolved before the weekend?

@virginmedia So why suggest I use it knowing the multiple issues I have had in failed action already? No I’m not ringing again - I have already spoken with 3 people. Your team have been fully informed of the ongoing issue. I will formally complain. Again.

@virginmedia I've now been with you for a month, and I still have no O2 sim card or online virgin media account. I cannot get any of your team to help me. Regretting leaving @skytv after 12 faultless years.
