  • 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. 👍

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

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

    @Chrisdavis1985 @virginmedia Waited over an hour and a half for someone to pick up said hello and hung up....this is after 15 phone calls on Friday issue still not resolved...absolutely disgusting

  • SR_ARUN_ SR (@SR_ARUN_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes have connection issues

  • leeannesmithers lee-anne smithers (@leeannesmithers) reported

    @virginmedia The frustration comes from being offered one deal, the ‘technical issues’ stopping the confirmation email being sent and then being told on the 2nd call that they will not be delivering on the agreement made in call 1 🤬 basically called us liars

  • upinsmoke66 Ben S (@upinsmoke66) reported

    @virginmedia 6 hours still no help

  • tomfooled James Moore (@tomfooled) reported

    Well, this is interesting. Trying to cancel my service with @virginmedia but they won't answer the phone or webchat, so there is no way to actually cancel. Any ideas, anyone?

  • petermorris1878 Peter Morris (@petermorris1878) reported

    @virginmedia It is now approaching 36 hours without broadband. No communication. No update. Please provide me with an email address, or a telephone number where I can talk to a PERSON about my service issues. NOTE, do not refer me to a ‘Contact us’ page, because it doesn’t work. Or a BOT.👍

  • sharkingrat Mark (@sharkingrat) reported

    @virginmedia I have never, in my life had such ****. I've held for 50 minutes and finally got through to Michael on the "retention team" who tried to tell me to stay, I said I didn't want to. Silence for 45 seconds, the spat out something like "final bill on the 28th" then...

  • Jackielindak Jackie 🤍 (@Jackielindak) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia how long does someone need to be on hold for, all I want to do if cancel my contract, WhatsApp is just as bad! Also want to complain about my bill going up for no reason 4th month in a row!!!!

  • xpiercedandmod1 xpiercedandmodifiedx (@xpiercedandmod1) reported

    So my @virginmedia has went down 5 times in less than 12 hours at like 2 hours a time its legit frustrating then telling me i need an engineer out but no appointments and expect full payment

  • KristianNetDev Kristian (@KristianNetDev) reported

    @virginmedia do you disable your chat service popup when it gets too busy for you? I spent ages trying to figure out where that had gone. finally got it up just to be told I can't use it. What a waste of time!
