Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales@virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????
-
Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, WalesI feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.

Ade Luxton (@adelux68) reported@virginmedia @Smallworth_xx So how much are we getting off next Months bill as you charge us for a service you are not providing
-
Bellza (@bell824) reported@virginmedia , how sad you can’t get a long standing customer close to new customer prices when it’s so easy to switch these days. Maybe @skytv will provide me a longer term service. £200 a month when a new customer pays £70 for the same. Your best is double the price!
-
Paul THORNE (@harrewis) reported@virginmedia Unacceptable…should be offering compensation to customers for failing to provide the service being paid for.
-
Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu) reportedYou're stronger than me. I got Virgin media down to £18 when I threatened to leave. I took their offer. and now it's gone up to £24 quid 2 years later and no doubt will go up again next year 😞

john johnson - RESTORE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (@jlj060453) reportedCan you believe it, Virgin Media red button not working on the first day of the football league season! Must do better
-
Adrian Caswell (@CaswellAdrian) reported@bmstewart2004 The same with Virgin Media a few months ago. If they hadn’t been so greedy they would still have a customer. I’ll never go back to a big corporation if there’s an alternative.
