  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 2 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

• 
  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 37 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!

  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 40 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

  @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  CymroGlyn 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🍾♿️ (@cymroglyn) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You should be keeping an eye out for this sort of criminal activity, creates profiles for most large UK companies so they can reply to any complaints and get the customer to download software so they can compensation…and rob them. Report them to X

• 
  Dan (@DanielKennett77) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 48 hours now with intermittent broadband. BR6 area. According to your useless website there are no issues in the area. I beg to differ.

• 
  Marshall Burns (@hzBUpYOUrdy1gWR) reported 18 minutes ago

  Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_StreamX offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

• 
  Jason Caine Smith (@jasoncainesmith) reported 20 minutes ago

  @VirginMedia No response on X or WhatsApp after hours. Cannot get through by phone due to your system issue. This has left an elderly customer without TV all day. Completely unacceptable. If I don’t get a response shortly I will be making a formal complaint.

  Ninzolow (@Ninzolow) reported 27 minutes ago

  @nib95_ You bought or sourced a MESH now? 👀 Also the bad news with youFibre is there becoming a part of Virgin Media should the deal be approved (Subsidary of the Netomnia Group) 🫠

  Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported 28 minutes ago

  @entrustTMF @virginmedia I've done a postcode check and it says intermittent problems. My daughter says if it doesn't improve she can go back to her flat as it isn't too far away. We are in London. We signed up for virgin party as they were to pay £50 incentive to use & my father for both of us signing
