    @sky @virginmedia hey @SkyUK You should tell your customer service: “Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’…

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Don’t apologise fix it!! 8 days is an absolute shambles!!! Peoples lives revolve around emails now!! Bank details, fraud warnings etc

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It's the same place & situation as yesterday, and, once again, after a few hours of no signal, once I actually Tweet about it, it suddenly reappears! No worries here now, ta.

    @ThirteenthEarl @virginmedia @chanadehemming They’ve clearly got an issue with their digital journey and need to contact the Product Owner for password reset!!

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Mobile never had it before

  • martinbo1972 Martin (@martinbo1972) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Media! Awful talking to a call centre in another country!

  • pipathon Richard Milnes (@pipathon) reported from Ossett, England

    Decided to leave @virginmedia today after ringing them up. Great service no reason to leave other than I need to be a “new customer” to access the best deals. My monthly bill more than doubled. Hello @NOWTV or @SkyUK I think.....

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia what's with my phone telling me I can't visit sites verify I'm over 18 never had that before

  • Mashcat Karma Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No I have a full time job - I can’t keep trying when your hold times are 20 minutes plus ... you need a call back service

  • Whiterosesam Andy Baskeyfield (@Whiterosesam) reported from Doncaster, England

    @Classicbritcom @virginmedia Yep. It's known in the trade as cancellation avoidance. Cancelling / removing products from your service goes against the advisor, so they do everything to avoid it. Send email / chat saying you refuse to pay from the current date, they will do it quick enough

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    Well done @virginmedia today is your 2 week anniversary of not providing an email service!! @MoneySavingExp @BBCWatchdog @Ofcom #votewithyourmoney #leavevirginmedia #customerservice #fraud #valueformoney #joke

  • martinbo1972 Martin (@martinbo1972) reported from Ossett, England

    @virginmedia shocking customer service!

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

  • SuperFlySimon Simon Burkinshaw (@SuperFlySimon) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why should I have to pay when I’m not being able to use the service I pay for

  • sophiechxx 🌻 𝒔𝒐𝒑𝒉 🌻 (@sophiechxx) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia According to ur website there aren’t any issues within my area so not only was I hung up on I was lied to as well. Now my password is apparently wrong and won’t let me change it on the website. Just wanna cancel the contract to be honest, no help whatsoever.

  • Claredo91857219 Clare doyle (@Claredo91857219) reported from Barnsley, England

    @Alroblade @virginmedia Who you gone to. I need to kick them into touch. Crap service and a rip off price that gets money expensive each year x

  • anna__burton Anna Burton (@anna__burton) reported

    @virginmedia on hold for the third time today (30 minutes each time) trying to end a broadband contract. It shouldn't be this hard. Can someone please help me cancel as I can't waste any more time waiting.

  • lijay08 Lianne Dunn (@lijay08) reported

    @RavensFlock400 @virginmedia Mine is the exact same down from 10am and still isn’t on. Tv also. Can’t wait to end my contract with virgin media. Awful. Is your services fixed now? X

  • may_katharine Katharine May (@may_katharine) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia Of course not, the damage is underground, it's all documented on my account but your Customer Services Department is deplorable. I got an email to state: Resolution "Apology to customer". I don't want an apology, I need connectivity in the form of SIM cards!!

  • Joses_World Basic with Life (@Joses_World) reported

    @j_stampton @virginmedia I called yesterday to query my monthly £39 that jumped to £68 with no warning or explanation. I was on hold for a silent 32 mins & I gave up. I’m about to start looking for a better deal elsewhere. I’ve had enough of @virginmedia poor service & their high monthly charge.

  • envyas94 N (@envyas94) reported

    @virginmedia This is the second week she’s having this issue, and not the first time I’m messaging about this. Your service is crap, how can it take this long for an area issue? Why did someone waste her time and send an engineer out? I don’t expect her to be paying for her tv bill when it’s

  • _jackleighton JACK LEIGHTON (@_jackleighton) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, both are down, the internet will occasionally come back for about 2 minutes and then go again, but nothing will connect wired or wirelessly

  • may_katharine Katharine May (@may_katharine) reported

    @virginmedia I've emailed you. Hopefully I'll now get some help?!

  • Meat_Spinning Lonny Flash (@Meat_Spinning) reported

    @virginmedia Worst company in the world

  • JohnGovier John Govier (@JohnGovier) reported

    @james_eldershaw @vmbusiness @virginhelp Can’t believe how many problems I’ve had since using Virgin Business. Even trying to pay them money and leave their service has been impossible! :-(
