    @virginmedia Just want to lower my bill or cancel

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  • DeborahTaylor3 Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • Koko__Johnson koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hello, my grandmother is having issues with her TiVo Box, she's checked the cables and I've been online to check for service outage, and there's isn't any reported Can you help?

  • diddles1970 Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

  • BexNightingale BeckyMN (@BexNightingale) reported

    @virginmedia So frustrating. Been with you 6 months now. Called customer service they said they sorted the problem and they havent. still cannot sign into any online media despite resetting the password several times. Internet is shocking as well as customer service.

  • BenMason232 Ben Mason (@BenMason232) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Don't give me the small print T&Cs nonsense. Just explain to me why you feel it's acceptable to charge me £250 because YOU CANNOT PROVIDE ME YOUR SERVICE. If I was trying to cancel, fair enough. But I'm not. U don't offer the service where I'm moving.

  • MinettOliver Oliver Minett (@MinettOliver) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've had a look and a lot of people have reported similar issues. Please can ours now just be rectified and us compensated, or I will be forced to terminate the contact early.

  • PeterSm44241493 SMITHYLFC (@PeterSm44241493) reported

    @ethers1967 @virginmedia My partner's email has been lost too she's been on the phone hours yesterday an today no help at all, her emails are for work too so she is desperate to try get it sorted asap, @virginmedia awful customer service

  • LadyDaveO Lady Dave (@LadyDaveO) reported

    @virginmedia 40 mins on the phone to find out I can either stay with rubbish #VirginMedia, and not get the service for which I pay or I can pay £240 to end my contract. #VirginMedia is rubbish

  • Sy09856152 Sy (@Sy09856152) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Could someone get in touch please. I'm having issues logging in to my virgin media account despite the fact that I know for 100% certain that the account name and password are correct. Thanks

  • LadyDaveO Lady Dave (@LadyDaveO) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently the compensation is only applied with a total loss of service whereas mine is intermittent, turning on and off every few seconds. So while unusable for me, it provides #VirginMedia a great loop hole

  • Worrelpa Phil Worrell #Re365 Regarding365.com (@Worrelpa) reported

    @sebmatthews @virginmedia @SkySports Always had trouble cancelling services in the UK. Unless you give them 6 months notice and chase weekly. Not to say we haven't had our issues here too.

  • dj_pennell Dudley (@dj_pennell) reported

    @virginmedia No. It’s useless. Our whole street is down, and we have all been reporting and phoning. Your website bears no resemblance to our scenario which includes not being able to work from home.

  • juleslenon jules66 (@juleslenon) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we know that it is not showing any problems in the area - we have had those phone conversations over the last 3 days. However there are problems as all houses supplied by virgin do not have broadband. You need to send out engineers today!!!
