Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

-
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.

Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?
-
JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.
-
emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!
-
David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported from Boldon Colliery, England@virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks
-
W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.
-
EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

-
AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported@Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.
-
Dan (@KibbyDan) reported@IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.
-
Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported@virginmedia Hey I was told earlier by customer services on IM that an engineer will come to fix or replace my WiFi hub on Friday, but I haven’t received any email or text confirmation. Will one be forthcoming?
-
ABabySeagull🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@ABabySeagull) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!
-
Mike (@Mikefromtheuk) reported@Benleo @virginmedia They are truly terrible. If you simply want an internet connection and you don't have any problems, you might be okay, but as soon as anything goes wrong you hit their awful customer service. I had intermittent problems and it took months to get resolved, I then went to Sky asap.
-
Jake T (@05jake5) reported@jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Sky is alright, TV too expensive but internet by itself ok price. Good customer support too.
-
Big Ben (@IciBigBen2) reported@jakebritishwall @virginmedia @Benleo Same here. They don’t give a **** about their customers. I avoid anything with Virgin name on it.
-
Monapics.com (@Monapics) reported@Benleo @virginmedia They have been fined by the mediator in my case but still have not fixed a simple email issue. They have now been pulled up again to get it sorted from last year. Dealing with the Indian call centres have had no progress there, and only one person spoke understandable English
-
Heroes Of Britain (@HeroesOfBritain) reported@Benleo @virginmedia had a similar issue with sky a few years ago took them months to sort out a simple billing error

chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported@virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there
