    Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia you’ve sent me an outrageous bill with £35 in charges that you said you were waiving. Non of your call centres are open (undertandably) I cant get text support & there’s no other help available. You are going to bill me £120 for a £50 service and I can stop you.

    @Craig273 @virginmedia No. I just want to cancel sky sports as for £31.75 a month I don’t get the use out of it. I was lied to saying it would affect my package discount. I already get BT sport for free and if Amazon will be streaming more it’s pointless

    @virginmedia your internet is awful! I’m not paying for a black box that flashes lights. Fix up

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

    @virginmedia can someone please get in touch with me has your broadband after 7pm is absolutely crap and I've totally had enough of it now

  • Salma_abdx
    Salma Khan (@Salma_abdx) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia They have improved but this is a regular issue now. This should be looked into, especially with the prices you charge for the services.

    @virginmedia Local fault and down until approx 3pm. It happens too often and its a nightmare for home workers like me.

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia are quick enough to take your money but not so quick to help out when things go wrong...

    Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

    @virginmedia broadband has just gone down in BB12, I work completely from home so this is extremely frustrating for me. Please help. Router has been restarted twice.

  • ClaretNick
    Nick (@ClaretNick) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband down AGAIN until 3pm today, means ill be working all evening to make up for not being able to do things today!

    Switching broadband providers from Virgin Media to Sky is proving to be such a bad decision while trying to work from home these last 5 weeks. Multiple connection drops every morning. It's a poor situation when tethering to your phone data is far more reliable. @SkyHelpTeam

    @virginmedia We are a customer but this particular cabling just services the houses below.

    Tariq Mahmood (@mrtariqmahmood) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia lnternet very intermittent. Router fault. But you won't send replacement so I am changing to Vodafone. Sick to death of the awful service I get from Virginmedia.

  • SharonBradbury
    Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia you have an exposed wire that goes down the side of my house and across my back garden so you’re able to provide a service to some houses below. I can’t find any written consent from the previous owners of the house. Major work will be starting soon...

    @virginmedia I am not sure that Twitter should not be used as a Customer Service point to wash ***** laundry, but if you want to do things this way, I am sure your senior managers will enjoy the experience! The incomplete insallation was for a landline, the engineer did not return to finish!

  • JAMESbiff
    JAMES DEWHURST (@JAMESbiff) reported

    @virginmedia Had my new contract cancelled. Twice. Not been informed just waited home for the new phone to arrive to finally call them to be told it isn’t coming. I then get told they should of called me least twice so when asked call log they never sent and said only rang once. It’s terrible

  • SometimesJolly
    🏳️‍🌈Sarah (@SometimesJolly) reported

    Just called Virgin Media to cancel as they're charging so much for 350mb broadband. Hung up on when I said hello, next guy gave me an offer I wasn't happy with and as I said I'm getting better offers elsewhere he hung up on me mid sentence. Why would I stay if this happens?

  • ZoeC23
    Zoe Cosgrove (@ZoeC23) reported

    @virginmedia there isn't a day go by where virgin tv doesn't freeze and reboots itself several times. At least once a week it goes off completely because of problems in the area. Surely it can't just be me?

    Appalled by @virginmedia lack of customer care.Paying for a service that is not fit for purpose #daylightrobbery

    @virginmedia I want to close my account due to the level of service recieved. I'm still in contract but the service I have received has been absolutely shocking...I want the £280 cancellation fee waived

  • SeanJPMcKee
    Seán MacAoidh (@SeanJPMcKee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I opted out of marketing, it’s from your sales team trying to stop my from switching my service, it’s overkill especially as I’ve already had the conversation with your agents about it.
