    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

    @virginmedia - we're trying to cancel your services since the bill has gone up over £80pm. How do I do this, we need to speak to someone in cancellations but I can only get through to sales?

    @virginmedia You don't need a contact number you can clearly see my name my postcode is Nosey number 4koff and yes I WAS the account holder 9:23 AM 9:23 AM What I posted on x was A LEGAL NOTICE because you constantly marked my credit file after 30+ years as a customer, I gave you 30 days notice and you billed me for 2 months, also you conned me into believing I got a cheaper tariff if I took out an o2 simcard, then you told me o2 was nothing to do with you and I would have to contact o2, since the day the contract was taken out I HAVE NEVER used the simcard an I'm in the process of issuing a claim against virgin media to recover all the money taken from my account from o2 I have emailed the ombudsman over this. 9:31 AM 9:31 AM Oh how nice as I'm talking to you I get a threatening text you will apply charges if I don't return your crap as per terms and conditions, how about I charge you £7.50 per week for the space you rented from me ?, this conversation will be posted in its entirety

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I’ve just left them for exactly the same reason. My contract had ended and they upped my package by £79 and said they couldn’t do it cheaper but new customers were the same price as my old one. No loyalty to a long standing customer

    @virginmedia on chat with you for nearly two hours and have still not got seen what your "best price" is. Shocking customer service

  • TheWho87
    TheWho87 (@TheWho87) reported

    @virginmedia Why? The fact that the internet was working with a VPN meant it wasn't an issue on my end, it was an issue on your end, plus it's working now, so you seem to have fixed the issue already.

    Anyone know who telecoms ombudsman is to deal with a complaint over @virginmedia and @O2 practises
