    Awesome, so effectively @virginmedia raise current loyal customers prices to fund the discount new customers can get in their sale. Roll on buying my own house and not being tied to them anymore. 12 years of this crap!

    Just in case anyone is thinking of signing up to @virginmedia before Christmas. Don’t! They are an appalling service company. I know I am with them. But not for much longer.

    Have paid £26 for HD live download and quality is terrible @virginmedia. Its pixallating and freezing @SkySport. Is this going to be sorted out? Why is there no message on screen explaining theres a technical problem ?

    @virginmedia Spoke to someone on Friday, the issue is intermittent so going to call back next week. Thanks for the reply

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

  • callyauckland

    @virginmedia Yes, no issues listed on broadband, ran check. Helpline temp unavailable. Vpns dropping out all the time.

    @virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

  • jooz282
    Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

    @virginmedia Hi there, I was curious to know why my next door neighbour can get your high speed internet services as well as most of the rest of my road, but my flat cannot and so I’m stuck on a maximum of 14Mbps. Anything you can do to help? TIA

  • davemole85
    Dave Jones (@davemole85) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia how can I have a download speed of over 200mps but my upload speed is 0.5 mps. Shocking service recently

  • helloellaxo
    Ella (@helloellaxo) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m switching to Virgin broadband next week (being installed) but my Now broadband doesn’t end until the 11th, is that going to be a problem? Can it still be installed? Thank you

    @_pauledwards @virginmedia I tried watching it and gave up after 5 minutes... and that's with fibre! Awful picture.

  • davemole85
    Dave Jones (@davemole85) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    Poor service from @virginmedia couldn't offer the deal on your website to an existing customer. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere

  • Matt_Goss
    Matt Goss 🏳️‍🌈 (@Matt_Goss) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    So far it has taken me 3 days just to confirm that I do need help from @virginmedia using the message function on the app. I’ve spoken with three different people and they each take a day to reply. I just need a new remote as mine has stopped working! I pay enough each month

  • SETimberDamp

    Hanging on now for over an hour to @virginmedia after being sold a router for a new flat that I told them had a BT phone socket. Trying to #cancel as landlord wont have additional sockets. Lady put us in hold/SILENT for 55mins - they are hoping we disconnect. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia I’m sure they are assigned to other customers. But still a week to get an appointment, without any internet, for a paying customer is totally unacceptable.

  • douglas187k
    douglas kerr (@douglas187k) reported

    @virginmedia a mean your foreign worker pretended she couldn’t get into my account for 20mins just as a stone wall tactic.a mean your virgin no?bit ridiculous an why isn’t my gift included on my sign up deal?cause there never was a gift just admit it il maybe respect u more

  • Angela_Griffin

    Help Twitter. My broadband isn’t working @virginmedia can’t send anyone for a week! Can I just call a company to come and fix it or does it have to be @virginmedia

  • TRBluenose_Paul

    @Wholehearted25 @virginmedia Mate, Virgin Media are useless. Inept at best. Totally scripted & unable to make any decision. TV great *when it works*, but offshore customer service is done because it's cheap. The day I left them I realised how much they reminded me of a polished ****.

    SadieTrent_92 🇺🇦 👩‍🚀 (@sadietrent_92) reported

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia ive had similar issues with BT, although they did come out quicker. I would ask for money off your bill as they claim they cant do it for a week

  • torrampaul

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia Sky , Might take a while to get through but never really have an issue with them , I’ve been a customer of them for over 20yrs 👍

  • thealexavery
    Richard Ronnie Alex (@thealexavery) reported

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia Check it isn’t an area problem, generally the app and customer service are always ropey but every now and then the app does find and help fix the problem. Make sure all elements are rebooted in order (boosters etc)

  • douglas187k
    douglas kerr (@douglas187k) reported

    @virginmedia Is there much point your team hav already proved over th phone they don’t care?am a even talking to a person rite now or your useless virgin robot?its very sad a thot a was going to hav a long relationship with a trusted company but you’ve let me down first month in

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia Most openreach based providers will be useless when there's an issue apart from Zen Internet. Also look at Elon Musk's Starlink though.
