  So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  @virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

  @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 29 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 29 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  @_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.

  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 41 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

  @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 47 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

  Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported 6 minutes ago

  @skytv @SkyHelpIreland @ITV Might it be possible soon to get all the ITV channels as normal on the Sky box in 🇮🇪 ? After all you can get them on other boxes, like Virgin Media. If it is a rights issue, can it not be sorted ??

• 
  James Munro (@eripley8) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @mobily_uk Can you drop the smiling emoji Virgin. It really is absurdly patronising and shows that you're just laughing at us rather than genuinely trying to help

• 
  Stevie Leon 🌳 (@sme30) reported 9 minutes ago

  @lelly401 @virginmedia @NetflixUK No i had it separately. Then my virgin bill had a netflix subscription on it. I asked them to cancel as I hadn't taken netflix with them. Now my regular subscription has been downgraded to standard!!!

• 
  GrumpyByName 🇮🇱 (@LessGrumpy) reported 10 minutes ago

  @IanSlaterPhoto1 @BrydonN2 Absurd. One of the reasons I’ve never left virgin media is that they were the only fibre to the door operator round here till recently.

  Owly McHoot (@OwlyMcHoot) reported 11 minutes ago

  @mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.

  @sme30 @virginmedia @NetflixUK Bloody hell. Would have been easier to cancel Netflix! 🤦 Maybe try and upgrade on ur box and see if Netflix now comes as standard with upgrades.... Then cancel the stand alone one? 😬🤷

  @virginmedia absolute jokers. Shocking service for over a week yet, they tell me they’ve fixed it but quite clearly they haven’t. I want to leave.
