Phil (@TWO_Librans) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia Yeah wouldn't let me downgrade only upgrade or keep the same, but like you I wanted to drop off landline phone service and save money, I had no trouble switching but be aware virgin require 30 days notice to cancel
-
Evelyn Taylor-Williams (@EvTayWill20) reportedDear @virginmedia WHY has my tv package and WiFi gone down? Can't even get BASIC channels #VirginMedia
-
DazMcT (@Dazlerhotspur) reported@virginmedia It mentions red button service loss not complete service loss
-
Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reportedAppalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!
-
Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported@Keiran_Mark @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Yeah I know but it doesn’t always work out that way. Especially when watching live sports like F1. They only give you highlights not the full programme. Actually just found out you can get SkyQ if you call them. But point is their customer care is no better than Virgin now.
-
Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported@virginmedia Haha what a crap company trying to palm stuff off to customers that they don’t want as opposed to accommodating them, good riddance hello Sky
-
Dipu (@dipu412) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia Had same issues. Have kept land line, Minimum TV pkg & B/Band. Renewal in April Next yr. TV package is going. Do not need to pay for it. If reasonable reduction not offered I will have to look elsewhere. VM is overrated and expensive.
