    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • MattBennett93
    Matt Bennett (@MattBennett93) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Well do you not think if I'm only getting a service for 80% of the time, I should only be paying 80% of the bill?

  • gingerjames1990
    James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia hi can someone please message me?? I need help with my bill! You've been overcharging me every month for the last 12 months!!!

    @virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

  • BeppoMonkeyBoy
    Robot Monkey (@BeppoMonkeyBoy) reported from Bucknall, England

    @virginmedia shocking service already thinking of cancelling, and I’ve not even been setup yet. I’d avoid, maybe I’ll talk to the other fiber in my area, I think they are a lot cheaper.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

  • JuPo71
    Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

  • PeachyBeechy
    cara (@PeachyBeechy) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

  • gingerjames1990
    James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

    @virginmedia that awful time again when I’m trying to speak to someone and get cut off. Twice …why is your service so appalling???

  • mvkennelly
    Mike Kennelly (@mvkennelly) reported

    Virgin media broadband in London N21 has been intermittently down now for weeks and nobody at Virgin interested in fixing the issue . Hours on the phone being told to turn it off and on ! We are out at the end of this contract for sure, very poor service.

  • Find_truth4all
    The Great Socrates (@Find_truth4all) reported

    @virginmedia This new 360 box update forcing the home screen on startup is terrible. Give us an option to boot straight to live TV!

    @thetvroom Same issue on virgin media

  • juza_23
    Justin (@juza_23) reported

    Basically spend the past week aside from the weekend without TV or broadband because Virgin Media can’t be arsed to send somebody out to fix the problem. ******* ridiculous.

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.

  • Eyezwideopen3
    Eyezwideopen (@Eyezwideopen3) reported

    DO NOT JOIN, WORST COMPANY EVER. They have been adding fees onto my account. Simply because ive been paying £29 which is what was stated. But apparently its supposed to be £42 @virginmedia

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia They don’t alas. Day 30 of no services here and nobody customer-facing can say what the engineers have done or are going to do.
