    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?

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

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

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

  • CM40UK
    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia No company seems to Reward Long Term Customers, its all "New Customer Deals" and forget those who have kept the company going, Both Sky/VM are the same in such respect Just have Roku Stick with Projector now, only sub to Amazon Prime now really, Got rid of Live TV years back

  • robhjones
    Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported

    @virginmedia I have no idea how to do it. Sorry, it worked perfectly well with the TiVo box. The problem is obviously the new 360 system. Can you arrange for it to revert back or get an engineer out please?

  • GarryWalker
    Garry Walker (@GarryWalker) reported

    Today I have had telephone wars with E-on, Virgin Media, EE and UPS. I hate having to deal with call centres. They bring out the worst in me.

    @O2 @virginmedia not a fan of doing this but o2, you guys have made a holiday in the USA as difficult as possible. After many conversations with advisors on the chat I STILL CANNOT Make calls back to the UK from here in the USA. I'm a volt customer but will rethink this...

    Danni (@danni_ox_) reported

    @PharmacistExpat @virginmedia They could - but their website states broadband is only an issue when it’s broadband only deals, it’s it’s broadband and tv - it says any broadband, therefore anything that’s in the “not eligible” below, doesn’t count for them
