    @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 I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

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

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

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

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  • 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?

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

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

    @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

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ...when all she has is TV on an old box and a phone line. She's house bound and this is all she has. The 1st feller attitude was disgusting and said like it or lump it. Clearly doesn't enjoy his job at Virgin Media and customer service is not his game! Awaiting a manger today, ty

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

    @virginmedia I’m gonna go insane, what do you mean the outage was supposed to be fixed by 5pm today and now it’s TOMORROW AT FOUR PM

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 That’s an excuse, not a reason. Nobody cares if your records were not fully updated, that’s your problem.

    Shite mobile coverage on @giffgaff because O2 is down in my area as well @virginmedia How I so wish we could go back to the old days of having 4/5 channels and having no subscriptions or relying on Internet to do basic things. I WANNA WATCH THE ******* FOOTBALL!

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I am sorry for your loss. They are ******* ****.

  • Baggladee
    Margot (@Baggladee) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry It’s a ridiculous business model that a decent regulator would stop. You lost me as a customer because I didn’t play the game. Apparently I should have phoned you to ‘negotiate’ instead of taking your new price at face value, cancelling and moving to another provider

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Example number infinity that we don’t hate corporations enough. Go **** yourself, and then shoot yourself into the sun, @virginmedia.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with Scottish Power - it’s shocking how useless these corporate pirates are..

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Truly appalling, nobody needs this when grieving, service is dire in all sectors and worsening but there are no words for this....

  • ODonnellDale
    Dale O'Donnell (@ODonnellDale) reported

    Moving house next week, so in the process of sorting TV/broadband. Sky prices have long gone through the roof. Is Virgin Media a decent alternative? Had their broadband before (very good) but never TV.

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Cancel. Then they will Hassle you daily as you get closer to cut off day offering you the same deal (or better!) you asked for in the first place
