@virginmedia I’m still waiting since 15/12 for my boosters, and you’ve sent me a v6 box, for no reason. Spent another hour on hold, only to get cut off. Please arrange a callback to get these issues resolved. 07966594276 Thanks!

@virginmedia I renewed my contract with you in November, knowing I'll move in February and your agent told me this will be the most affordable option for me. Now I'm told I need to pay a £240 disconnection fee. Your support connects me from one dept. to another and back...

@virginmedia Hi, I need to leave Virgin media because my bill has gone up by over 50%. I can't do it on the phone because you're not answering and your website doesn't have an option to close my account. Your live online help isn't answering either. What should I do?

@virginmedia our connection is down in London SE15. When we log into our virgin account it says we’re not customers,the phone number - 150 and the alternative - both go dead when we dial, and your chat function is directing us to the phone. How do we contact you & sort this?

@virginmedia Hmmm. No the test was done on Sept I ten got a letter about 2 months later which confirmed my suspicions of a slow service after a new router and CMP plugs I’ve been trying to discuss what’s next since then. Need that callback! @Ofcom

@virginmedia I have raised a complaint, but I want to understand (a) exactly how many days Virgin Media believes I did not have internet, and (b) how much money per day Virgin believes I'm owed. This should be on your systems, according to Paul (who I spoke with on Sep 26).

@virginmedia we are a new customer trying to organise broadband and four times now we have been given a price only for the contract to come through wrong. Either the wrong price or things missing.Ready to cancel before we’re even set up. Not impressed at all!!

Looking to upgrade my BB as an 8 years loyal customer with @virginmedia since work from home requires a better speed. New customer gets the package for £39.99 I was offered a discounted £58. Nothing like reassuring the loyal customers that they’re valued! #ripoff #cancelvirginbb

@virginmedia @mcapplewindows But 13.8% is way WAY above inflation, never mind thinking of yourselves, think of your customers, I actually gave you notice to disconnect, it was only when you realised I was deadly serious you came back with an offer, full package, best broadband, Netflix, the whole caboodle !!

@hutch__man In our road we have two full-fibre networks, Community and G-Network, and a third on the way, Hyperoptic. We also have Virgin Media but BT can only provide FTTC. Meanwhile, other places can barely get ADSL. Ridiculous barely regulated shambles @Ofcom

@virginmedia I'm just now seeing in the data specifically why your increase is so high. I'm not a customer, so not affected. My data, internet, phone, Comms bills are the only ones reducing or staying the same for me in 2023.

@virginmedia my contract ended on my broadband. New customer offer for same speed was £25 p/m, I asked for £30 p/m got told the best is £32 for a loyal customer of 10 years. You lost a customer for the sake of £2 p/m Goodbye @virginmedia , hello @TalkTalk !
