    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

  • laineypb2109
    Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • aralph50
    Amanda Ralph (@aralph50) reported from Liverpool, England

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thats just an update to say they are dealing with the issue, people want to know what the issue was and why it is taking so long to repair, there is a continuous extension to repair time and your customers at least deserve detailed information

  • cbray72
    Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia fix ur awful service!!!!

  • Duddydudson
    Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • jmcloughlin
    Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    Anyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.

  • supergran22

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

  • CallyRaven

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.
