    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, Iโ€™ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. ๐Ÿ˜”. #TimeforaChange

    @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but Iโ€™ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

    @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia Itโ€™s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at ยฃ35 and is now ยฃ45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    So @virginmedia want ยฃ288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

    @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

    Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

    @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

    @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

    Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

    @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

    @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

    @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to ยฃ225 even though it's supposed to be ยฃ130 and we have never missed a payment

    @virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. Itโ€™s not over heating, Iโ€™ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password ๐Ÿ˜ข A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

    @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 @O2 Hi. In this instance speaking through Virgin Media, it was set up without my knowledge and without a written or verbal contract. I am in the middle of this mess now and have looked a complaint. Thank you

    @MartinSLewis Hi Martin. Are you aware of the scam between Virgin Media and 02? They hound you with calls, set you up as an existing VM customer, and then unknown to you, you have an 02 threatning letter asking for ยฃ30 a month. This was not agreed to or even known...help ๐Ÿ™

    @virginmedia Still no no TV service. Three days! Can't speak to anyone. No communication or explanation from Virgin Media. POOR service, increased costs every year above inflation, we're just being treated as cash cows. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿค”
