  • stephraim83 Steven E Whittaker (@stephraim83) reported from Chorley, England

    Dear @virginmedia I'm not one to complain, however in this instance I feel I have to. I've been paying over the odds for your service for 6 years now... with only a few issues. 3 week ago my services just stopped working, bizarrely after I'd payed for pay per view...

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 6pm is what you always seem to say, it’s lazy customer service and not very helpful at all to your current customers.

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia WTF INTERNET DOWN .Record message should be back running by 12.05am Are you serious.

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia hi I recently signed up but want to cancel

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @XboxLiveLogon @virginmedia No i dont i want great service and a engineer who turns up when they are scheduled to attend.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Offer me a good deal to keep me, or just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia My service hasn’t been down for days, it’s concerning that you don’t know that and so hardly surprising you can’t say when it’ll be back!

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Iffer me a good deal to keep me, ir just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia No call, no message, no email 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 this is a service that don't care about there customers obviously......

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    So, at the end of my @virginmedia contract, question is, stick or twist, cost is going up and I do wonder what @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam could offer as a returning customer, we shall see!

  • JamesWelsh2 James Welsh (@JamesWelsh2) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia can you follow me so I can discuss a problem all my services have gone off and being told can’t be reconnected until Saturday

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @RichPierce0079 @virginmedia @SkyUK @VodafoneUK All different issues really. Virgin is its own thing. Sky could have been a line issue, Vodafone went live earlier today but despite saying it has an internet connection it doesn’t. Almost like they’ve not activated it on their end despite the app saying the line is active.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia wow called up to cancel and the guy says I’ve successfully cancelled and then hangs up!!! Thank god I’ve decided not to go with you!

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I joined yesterday and was expecting super fast fibre broadband and got intermittent slow. Liverpool L18 area. Not a good start. #regrets

  • stephraim83 Steven E Whittaker (@stephraim83) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Sorry @virginmedia I don't wanna complain but your engineer has just left, my services still aren't working I rang customer services and they fobbed me off. They said said we're closing soon so ring back tomo. Not good enough.

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England
