    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @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?

  • Paul_Ilett Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • DaveBonas Dave Bonas (@DaveBonas) reported

    @virginmedia @wendybonas Already tried your support line twice and got nowhere. Don't need a password reset but need the mailbox unlocking which seems to a common problem at the moment judging by the community forums.

  • Shandz3 Chris Poulton (@Shandz3) reported

    Completely at a loss at how to cancel my contract with @virginmedia, have tried on online chat, spent about an hour on the phone got passed between 4 people, still no one has helped.

  • NatalieCHowell Natalie (@NatalieCHowell) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the guidance but we have done this MANY times bit still have no resolution. Just keep getting told it will get fixed but it never has been since 4 January.

  • Cryptonite2021 Arsenal14 (@Cryptonite2021) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I want to cancel my Internet due to the price increase from March. However I cannot get through to you via phone as it is always on hold. Please could you advise me on what to do?

  • uminski Carl Uminski (@uminski) reported

    @virginmedia Still hideous, in our 4th week now of very little upload speed in our area. Download no worries at all. Makes work very very difficult. Spoke to support promised fix on 15/2 still no fix! Whole road effected. See BBC news about the KT postcode issues!😢

  • TheRealStuddy Studdy (@TheRealStuddy) reported

    @virginmedia you are doing a quality job! To get 25% of the speeds we pay for I have to reset the router every hour or it completely cuts out and YES I have ran all the tests. Thanks for replying... oh wait you never do unless it’s to send the same crap link to everyone

  • nikkosketch nikkosketch illustrator (@nikkosketch) reported

    @virginmedia please respond to me. I understand you agents must have a high influx of messages due to the service level but I would appreciate some correspondence #virginmedia #virginmediadown #hikenolike

  • nicos_nick1geo nicos georgiou (@nicos_nick1geo) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done all this already please stop with the sarcastic responses. I’ve been a customer of yours for 16 years plus!

  • jackbremer Jack "What's the best that could happen?" Bremer (@jackbremer) reported

    @virginmedia Can you ping it on? Your network's broken. Let's pretend my customers are all deaf, without email or telephones. I've happily reported a problem with your network. If I report a pothole online the council is grateful, they don't make me phone the bloke with the road digger.

  • emanzaman4 Eman Zaman (@emanzaman4) reported

    Terrible experience dealing with Mitchell while trying to cancel my @virginmedia services just now. You really need to retrain your CS staff to not be so relentlessly pushy and listen to the customer when they tell you 100 times all they want to do is cancel
