  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  @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.

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 16 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

  @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 41 minutes ago 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

• 
  Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported 47 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

• 
  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 49 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 49 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  3 weeks now with limited TV yet still paying over £100 a month for svcs I’m not getting , I’m fobbed off on the phone that engineers are working on the issues , they’re clearly not can someone reimburse me @virginmedia

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

  CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported 1 minute ago from Oxford, England

  You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

  @virginmedia Hello. Broadband/internet has been down for a while this morning(three separate devices not working since mid morning). Is there a general outage or is this likely to be a local, to me, issue? In Scotland Thanks for any assistance you can give

  @IanSlaterPhoto1 @BrydonN2 Absurd. One of the reasons I’ve never left virgin media is that they were the only fibre to the door operator round here till recently.

  @virginmedia Be very mindful when thinking about virgin media because customer service is absolutely shocking, they absolutely haven't got a clue.

  @virginmedia How do I stop the constant messages telling me to upgrade to a diabolical 360 box (which I will never do)?

  Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!
