    @virginmedia putting their tariffs up by 17.3% from 1st April - that’s 3.9% over the Retail Price Index Inflation of 13.4%…people getting nowhere near this sort of increase in their pay packets…hang your heads in shame especially in a cost of living crisis.

    Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

    @virginmedia You should first before doing anything fix your broadband Internet which keeps playing up All the time in Clapham… What’s going on??? Tell us without making any excuses..

    @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

    @virginmedia my internet is constantly not working it’s really frustrating.

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

    Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  • Andrew007Uk
    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  • PJacksonClark
    #TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks KF for your speedy reply. But since "Frankie Bot" and I started chatting three hours ago via customer service chat I've been left waiting. Is that as good as it gets?

  • Khaled_Miah1
    Khaled Miah (@Khaled_Miah1) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?

    @virginmedia @Bomber19631 I had Stream Box and Broadband set up yesterday. Neither working today, tried Cust Serv’s on hold over 45 mins and still no answer! These people are as garbage as their services, spend your money elsewhere. I’m going back to @SkyUK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    KopiteinPoland (@KopiteinPoland) reported

    I never had issue with @o2 until they merged with virgin media. Now I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. You try and use the website, pages don’t load. Information isn’t available. How do you keep on top of your account. #awfulservice #neveragain

    After saying good things about @virginmedia we have had no service since the storm about 9pm last night. Updated Info "if not restored in 21 hours contact us for and engineer appointment ". 21 hours???

  • paulpresenteruk
    Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.

    @virginmedia you have failed to install broadband at my new property as part of home move service. I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible
