    @virginmedia According to ur website there aren’t any issues within my area so not only was I hung up on I was lied to as well. Now my password is apparently wrong and won’t let me change it on the website. Just wanna cancel the contract to be honest, no help whatsoever.

    @virginmedia No I have a full time job - I can’t keep trying when your hold times are 20 minutes plus ... you need a call back service

    @sky @virginmedia hey @SkyUK You should tell your customer service: “Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’…

    @Alroblade @virginmedia Who you gone to. I need to kick them into touch. Crap service and a rip off price that gets money expensive each year x

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • JoeInSheffield
    Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

    Decided to leave @virginmedia today after ringing them up. Great service no reason to leave other than I need to be a “new customer” to access the best deals. My monthly bill more than doubled. Hello @NOWTV or @SkyUK I think.....

    @O2 you keep cutting me off 5 times so far. my bill has gone up again on a sim i dont use because @virginmedia told me i had to take it out with my package. I just want to know how long I have left so i can cancel it.

    Surj (@SurjKhera) reported

    So @virginmedia think it's OK to increase my broadband price by 25% mid contract and then impose new terms for yearly increases of RPI +3.9% with No right to cancel. 🤔 I will cancel now just out of principle. @MartinSLewis I hope you are all over this one!

  • stephyh1988
    Stephh (@stephyh1988) reported

    @virginmedia having their customers eyes out with a 33% increase a month. Absolutely not paying that for no improvement in a mediocre service.

  • MylesOUFC
    Myles 🇺🇦 (@MylesOUFC) reported

    @AshScrivens @virginmedia I'm probably going to do the same. I've only been on my current deal for about six months. And they're now changing the T&Cs so you can't cancel when they increase in future too.

  • IanMarsdenGB
    Ian Marsden PLY (@IanMarsdenGB) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia just wondering how much would broadband on its own without tv and phone would be of an existing customer?

  • RStallyns
    Robbie Stallyns (@RStallyns) reported

    @virginmedia No, and right now I won't because I will just use another device for Britbox. I just want to tell you of the issue incase you get more similar faults. I'll revisit the situation in a while. Not sure what else to do now!

  • cheekygobshite
    Simon (@cheekygobshite) reported

    @AshScrivens @virginmedia @Hyperoptic I’m not far behind after a 7 year customer and now out of contract they’ve put my broadband only up to £60 a month. Community Fibre for a faster speed at £25!

    Do @virginmedia just hang up on you as soon as you say you want to cancel? It seems so.
