    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 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

    Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

    Bear Holland (@follow_the_bear) reported

    @virginmedia You should be compensating 33% of daily contract price per day of outage. If not maybe if enough customers group together and approach CISAS then theyโ€™ll force you to compensate for loss of service plus interest.

    @virginmedia What has happened to the community pages on your site? Your email system has lost folders and keeps moving emails. The community pages are the only place where people actually help. Thanks.

    Ted (@tkly57) reported

    @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”

  • Why__OMG__Why
    G HUNTer (@Why__OMG__Why) reported

    @DowndetectorUK found alternative ways of watching ITV1. get a clearer constant picture than Virgin Media. Several sources at zero cost. With the constant problems and ever increasing costs, I don't mind if I get interrupted tv at such an enormous discount.
