    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

    Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Hartlepool, Swindon, Reading - 3 places where I know for a fact a VM connection has packet loss. They’re selling a broken service and are getting away with it.

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Yep Virgin Media and the TV licence people - they are awful.

  • worleyyy
    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever

  • SteveMaslinG
    Steve Maslin (@SteveMaslinG) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK My 88 year old Mum was in hospital 6 weeks, Dad called her every day until Virgin Media cut off his phone without warning. Dad never missed a bill but they said he had exceeded his limit. When I complained their rep shouted "It's for their protection". Virgin Media are scum.

  • Anitaaaa_W
    🌍 Anitaaaa (@Anitaaaa_W) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia That is absolutely disgusting. My mum is with virgin and I’ll be moving her in a few months when her contract is up. They’re customer service is absolutely ****

  • MichelleBeckett
    Michelle Beckett (@MichelleBeckett) reported

    @virginmedia can you help with this to backdate the date of termination of my father’s broadband contract to the date of his death? As other similar service providers have done without having to be asked?
