    @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi, provided by @virginmedia not only has ripped me off but their customer support team are apparently away all weekend. This is obviously a scam.

    @MonkeyBonus @premierinn @virginmedia same problem here too. Had paid for a month on the 20th but initially I was asked to pay again so tried logging out and logging in and can't do that either!

    @virginmedia Well that’s pretty meaningless. Broadband down in Exeter & other parts of Devon. When is service expected to be restored? Why haven’t you put a message on your website? This is impacting my ability to work at home.

    @franklake @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph Wait till you finally cancel, you then have to wait for the return packaging to be delivered, assemble the bloody thing, put your boxes into the box they send, including cables and remote, and send it all back or get charged 100 quid. Enjoy!

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia It is hard to complain. I just want to send an email but cannot find how to do this. I do not want to speak to your call centre or use the live text - both routes have failed to respond to complaint. Only other method is to send in a physical letter.

    Liz Loly (@LizzyLoly) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get hold of someone to establish why I cannot login to my account online and why I have been overcharged. Despite being told several times that someone would get back to me in 24 hours it never seems to happen. Please advise how I can reach you.

    @virginmedia Hi. Following up the comment above. I have heard nothing from the team. Your complaint handling process is broken.

    @virginmedia Any idea when issue will be fully resolved as still experiencing Pixelation. Thanks

  • ScottishAshley
    Ashley (@ScottishAshley) reported

    @virginmedia An engineer was booked and then the visit was cancelled by yourselves as it’s a wider issue apparently. So it’s an issue you should already be aware of as it’s widespread according to media

    Matt Valentine-Chase (@IAmMattVC) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I had a similar issue with plusnet and open reach, still waiting for the fibre to be fitted. I think it's the beginning of the end for this level of poor service, people have had enough.

    @Benleo @virginmedia Serious point - I have never ever ever considered virgin media because, for at least 20 years - they have had the most appalling customer services reputation.

    @virginmedia can you please tell me why I'm paying you utterly ridiculous fees each month when your "famed" internet services always fail when you need them the most. WN5 area!

    Graham (@g_hannam) reported

    @virginmedia How am I supposed to contact you? You don't answer the telephone, the link to live chat doesn't work and there's no email address. I need to discuss a recent communication from you

    @Benleo @virginmedia I've literally just left Virgin Media, to join Sky. That's how bad they are
