@virginmedia I've already reported both issues. It's highly frustrating that a fault with one service knocks out everything.

After a nightmare attempt to firstly speak to someone on the phone I spoke with a rude employee. I was assured no more charges . Email just through stating we will be charged double again this month 🙈 #virginmedia

Been a loyal @SkyUK customer for many years, but current process to move to Sky Q has been ongoing since 3rd August. Shocking service and zero communication. Time to cancel and move to @virginmedia

@jst_jelliott @virginmedia Same here. Network is fine but router isn't able to connect to the internet. This happened recently around this time of night a week or so ago. Getting annoying.

@virginmedia. Signed up for 1 month sports channel. Told it would cost £15. Paid three times this. Not informed we had to ring up and cancel. Now three months paying double our usual bill.

Virgin Media called to offer me Sky Sports for £15per month and I'm literally waiting to see who we sign before I decide if I'm gonna pay to watch us get our pants pulled down every other week.

@beatlebaby84 @virginmedia With all these services I record the time, explain I'm busy and ask them to credit me £20, they never do, but often they'll credit £10 or £8, always worth a try!

@virginmedia Your hold music sucks and it's annoying to have to have a full argument trying to cancel your account thanks. Try some calming music. Hold is rage inducing enough. Stick it in a suggestion box.

@virginmedia twice now in a week where i have had no tv/broadband , once when it was off for over 12 hrs and now it suggests we wont have a service until 4pm tomorrow. Not good enough. I pay a subscription to watch live sport and i cant watch it. I want some form of compensation

@virginmedia What's frustrating is that yet again you guys have shown you don't give a damn about customers who are already with you and it's only about new customers.

@virginmedia I tweeted you on 21st April, you advised I used your messaging service, which I did, they asked me about the complaints reference number, I explained I was never given one, he gave me the number shortly afterwards and gave me the Port teams number, who I then contacted,

@virginmedia It’s ok I’ve only been waiting since February to the 1st online complaint #ignored @virginmedia @richardbranson but honestly the only way 2get service & recompense would seem to be the small claims court which won’t wait much longer. I suspect you wouldn’t turn up to that either

@virginmedia The hub will sometimes blink, go green, the little wifi signal will start blinking. Then it will look normal, but still not work. However, before it starts working again, it will usually do the same sequence it does when you turn it off and on.
