Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

taree-ru (@taree_ru) reported@PeteUK7 @virginmedia @VisionExpress keep sending my now 4 years deceased mother reminders for her eye test. This is despite meinforming them by calling them, attending a store in person and returning to sender the mail. Horrible reminders which are so unnecessary. Well done for calling virgin out.
-
ProfessorChocolateCaXe (@ProfChocCaXe) reported@PeteUK7 @olivetreedogs @virginmedia You believe in a fake "disease" with an almost 100% survival rate, the microscopic number of people who DID die had serious underlying health conditions anyway (notable example: George Floyd), that had "no symptoms" list as a symptom but you would still get anyway even if you were vaccinated from people who weren't vaccinated and was so "dangerous" that the entire economy had to shut down and everyone would be forced to stay at home unless they were out rioting for BLM.

Simon Whale ™ (@Simon_Whale) reported@QuickRespoxd @virginmedia @virginmedia I got on the phone for a simple upgrade but your appalling 'service' had just inspired me to leave . Waste of space , ruined a once good company
-
MeeMaaOnAMission (@spirit_evolving) reportedLooks like a lot of people don’t have internet or tv @virginmedia all over the country. 4 the past 2 weeks the service has been diabolical yet @virginmedia have not issued a statement. I’m disabled & kids r gamers so looks like I’m about to switch providers. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?
-
Yogesh (@meta_element) reported@virginmedia virgin media your customer support for broadband billing is such a pain to deal with. Shame on you.
-
Wirtz machine (@DavidVaughan5) reported@virginmedia My virgin media phone allows incoming calls but every time I phone out its showing as busy? I cant get through to speak to anyone to fix this?
-
L 💉 (@Karma_Soul) reported@virginmedia you said my box needs updating as it won’t work anymore if I don’t. I call and update it. I said I don’t want to change my package. You have now doubled my bill? Been on hold for 30 mins no answer and your web chat can’t help. If I wanted to upgrade, you’d pick up
-
Gordon Stewart (@gozzie83) reported@virginmedia How do I lock it down so people watching can’t add things to my bill without me knowing? I haven’t had an email or anything even to confirm it happened so is there an additional way to stop it happening in future?
-
Richard Davies FRSA (@radavies_art) reportedDear @virginmedia I’ve had no TV signal for almost a month. When I contacted you, I was twice left on hold for over an hour; when I finally spoke to someone, I was assured reception would be restored within 24hrs, that was two weeks ago!
-
Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported@JamieGBarry @virginmedia I tried that trick at cancellation time, and they told me my address will be stored and I'll always be classed as "existing" so would never be eligible for a "new customer" deal. The only way to be a "new customer" is to move house.
