    @Sarahlw_95 @virginmedia Sarah I wouldn’t bother with WhatsApp, I’ve been speaking to various people for over a month on there trying to sort my incorrect bill. They just tell you it’s resolved when it isn’t. Scandalous service.

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

    Gordon (@brexit_blue) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Try dealing with @SkyUK Ben. Indian Call Centre! No words! After 30+ years as a Sky customer our Sky contract was terminated in December all because we moved home and needed a Sky Stream box instead of Q but cost increase was staggering so terminated. Never heard from Sky again.

  • bhoyjohn1888
    John Cameron (@bhoyjohn1888) reported

    Has anyone successfully cancelled a contract with Virgin Media? If so, please advise. Can't get them to answer any telephone calls or emails. Shocking customer service.

  • dshensmith
    Daniel ShenSmith (BlackBeltBarrister) (@dshensmith) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I feel your pain. I had countless difficulties with both Virgin for consumers and Virgin for business. Disconnections and interruptions for weeks due to works they never told me about. They need to do better

  • tag4UK
    tag 🇬🇧 (@tag4UK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They told you that you have to buy a 2 year contract in order for them to fix their own cable, and you believed them? 🤪

  • ArsenalInjuries
    Arsenal Mark (@ArsenalInjuries) reported

    @Benleo Sadly that experience is not exclusive to @virginmedia @skytv are exactly the same, their customer service is also non existent, they care little for the customer and have no regard for customer loyalty or satisfaction. #skytv

  • Drscooto
    Scott Osborn (@Drscooto) reported

    @virginmedia Is this still a problem? I just rebooted my STB and now it useless with a CS1010 error.

    @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment

  • teamwedge999
    moo deng (@teamwedge999) reported

    .@virginmedia have gone back on the contract I was offered. Now trying to charge me £432 for a month's bill when it should only be £14.15. Shocking customer service.

    Chríss (@Chriss_m) reported

    @emma_blingo @Benleo @virginmedia Very, very common. I don’t know a single person who gets the speed (consistently) that they’re actually paying for. This, I think, is a huge scandal that’s never really looked at.
