    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

    @virginmedia your customer services is atrocious. When trying to sort out my brother-in-law affairs after he sadly lost his battle with cancer a couple of weeks ago. My wife has spent hours on the phone trying to get to someone who can help her. Please dm a direct no to call.

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • Pegaso650
    Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • Pegaso650
    Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

    Graeme (@graeme1878) reported

    @virginmedia are you willing to just let a customer of 9 years go so easily like that or was it half arsed by your staff member that all he could do was the most basic and not even try and get my partner to stay with yourselves.

  • swlondonraised
    cari_lou (@swlondonraised) reported

    @virginmedia And to top it off my data is so bad I'm having to stand by my window its actually laughable if i wasn't so bloody angry

    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    So, my @virginmedia hub died on Thursday. Finally worked out how to call them yesterday. Today a guy comes out to fix it but can't. Just got a message saying they'll be here on TUESDAY. Until then, no internet or TV. And no changes to the heating. Or the cat flap...

  • missjnyc1
    Jeanette (@missjnyc1) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely ridiculous that according to your customer service team no technicians in your company work over the weekend. So we are left without broadband for 5 days as it hasn’t worked since yesterday and the earliest someone can come out is Monday between 5pm & 7pm

  • Louiseboxall
    Louise Boxall (@Louiseboxall) reported

    @virginmedia M43 area…. error code W02…. Did what virgin suggested and just blank channels….. this is getting ridiculous….. can’t watch tv when I’m sure Virgin will want payment for a service my parents can’t access half the month….

    @virginmedia your internet causing my son to have huge meltdowns. I am paying for a service that is incompetent, unreliable and damaging to my son due to his very severe condition. Last month your staff called my sons disability a ‘mental breakdown’- not acceptable

  • liamsimo95
    liam (@liamsimo95) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity

  • swlondonraised
    cari_lou (@swlondonraised) reported

    @virginmedia Is the WiFi down in Tw7 area. Why ? And how long will it be to get sorted. My son has an online exam today 😡
