    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @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 Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

    Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

    @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

  • DeborahTaylor3
    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • Aidan1964
    Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  • VanceBulla
    V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  • ollieinleeds
    Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

    @virginmedia This is still not fixed despite your latest update saying 11.05am. What's going on? It would be helpful to have more up to date information. This is getting beyond a joke, it's over 24hrs now without a service.

    @virginmedia @ITV ITV1 not working on Virgin Media. Came home from work and wanted to watch The Chase. Looks like I can’t :(

    @virginmedia hey, when will there be an update about the tv issue? Mines still not working….

    Instead of spending money on expensive adverts @virginmedia spend it on your customer service and answering the phones - embarrassing bad

  • jonfoz1
    Jon Foster (@jonfoz1) reported

    @BobLakey1 @virginmedia Got the same problem. Message came up that I'm not authorised to watch any channels including BBC and ITV and to contact 150. When I tried, the phone line doesn't recognise my phone number and the website can't trace my account. Nothing to do but wait I guess.

    @virginmedia very frustrating trying to claim my Refer a friend reward Several attempts but keeps saying password not valid and account number not valid when I have entered them both correctly. Expires tomorrow! Help please.

    @virginmedia are you taking the proverbial? The broadband has been out more often than I have in the short time I've been with you. And now you aim to rectify the problem in 4 days time?

    Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported

    @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

    @ian_Leeds_UK @LouiseTregidgo @virginmedia Probably because its 3 hours later and we pay a fortune. Dodgy box prob gets better service and more reliable
