    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • PolymathTim
    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

    @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.

    @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?

    Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

    Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

    @Ofcom Can you do something about @virginmedia and their constant nuisance calls? Four so far today - it never ends

  • DanTaylor86
    DT (@DanTaylor86) reported

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years but the customer service I've received today is extremely worrying. Everyone has been polite and tried to help, but still my package is all wrong. This needs rectifying immediately or your major competitor will be gaining new custom

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but, frankly, these are just platitudes as usual. What is needed is action to sort the problem and accurate fix dates as opposed to the random, made up,ones I've been given so far Also, why not supply clients with MiFi solutions to help them?

  • RoadPainter
    Road Painter (@RoadPainter) reported

    It looks like I'm soon to be an ex-customer of @virginmedia My monthly bill has gone up by more than 10% this month, unjustifiable profiteering!
