    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • ChrisSwinglis
    Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  • cherylockerby
    cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • SteveMowat4
    Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??

  • EnarialP
    Enarial Perry (@EnarialP) reported

    @virginmedia @JoyB40 TV services are down countrywide it seems. The Virgin service checker doesn't work either. An acknowledgement that there is a problem & a statement of what is going on would be helpful.

    @JoshCF_ I’m with virgin media going up to £92 pm for phone & broadband when contract ends in September. I’ve been happy with the service but over £50 pm difference going with sky is just ridiculous.

    @virginmedia Fix your internet because I've been getting disconnects and reconnect every few minutes. This is not good enough given the bill I pay, I expect reliable service. BB8 postcode
