Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, EnglandPhoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England@virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England@virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?
-
Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...
-
Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband?

The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported from Basingstoke, EnglandWiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.
-
John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

-
Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported@virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.
-
David Taylor 🏴 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported. @virginmedia Is the web-mail still broken? It wasn’t working earlier today (Monday).
-
Bob Ross 🐑 (@_malcolmsex) reportedVirgin Media locked in when they heard I was moving Internet off at exactly midnight holy ****
-
Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reported@virginmedia your app says intermittent issues yet your call centre automated response says no issues Utter shambles of a company.
-
Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
-
Teddy (@ChokeLever) reported@giffgaff Tbh I didn’t chose @virginmedia because their reviews are poor. I should’ve known better as it was still their engineer who failed to show up. #Frustrating, but for #giffgaff not to have any means of rectifying the issue is unacceptable. I am being penalised as a result.
-
Jamie Summers (@JimSummersNews) reportedHi @virginmedia, cables belonging to VM have been detached and hanging dangerously from my building for several weeks. I’ve been told on four occasions an engineer will come to fix, and nothing has happened. Can you help please?
-
Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported@virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.
-
Debzy G 🦅🐦⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported@virginmedia Right, I’ve tried calling these things. None worked Which suggests it’s an app issue.
-
av47ar (@av47ar) reported@kelly_twidale @virginmedia When we changed to 360 the V6 could no longer watch recorded programs if you didn't have an internet connection or theres a problem with a service.
