    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • Tommy_Doyle Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

  • AViTSCJ Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

    @virginmedia Hi, things are ok at the moment thanks, but as others added to my earlier message, the service has been dropping out for long stretches every day for the past four, so I am not holding my breath that all stays well. Is it the same recurring problem?

  • kazzab1966 Karen Gannon (@kazzab1966) reported

    @virginmedia No status problems...just poor service and now you're threatening to suspend my services as your system hasn't picked up a part payment I made...disgusting customer service

  • Brown3P Peter Brownings (@Brown3P) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to cancel my dads account since last Friday... still don’t know if it’s been actioned or not, zero contact

  • onthesnaffle terry (@onthesnaffle) reported

    @virginmedia @KatieCraigx The ******* state of this reply. Out of all of this that this girl has said you try to point the blame at her? Your Twitter team is just like your customer service on the phone, absolutely useless, like speaking to a brick wall. Horrible lying bastards conning people out of money

  • sophie_yxx Sophie Yates (@sophie_yxx) reported

    @virginmedia you have contacted me to say I am out of contract and have put my prices up but I cannot get hold of you to discuss a new contract. Service has not been great over the last few months either. How do I contact you if all you say is ‘sorry we are busy’ and cut me off?

  • ellisa_r Aimee (@ellisa_r) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet has been down all morning. I can't work or access home learning without it. Steps online haven't helped. Trying to call the helpline just cuts off. What now?

  • bobpard Beard Burger (@bobpard) reported

    Email from @virginmedia to say our bill is going up to over £50 a month for basic freeview, internet and phone (which we never use) - anyone recommend another provider to try?

  • caslin_donna Donna Caslin (@caslin_donna) reported

    @virginmedia The agent said an engineer will go & have a look at the main box in the street to check external cables. The agent was not coming to visit me...... I was advised if the problem was not resolved within 2 days to get back in touch... That was 4 days ago & the problem is still here
