    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint- I am so frustrated right now with your customer service #VirginMedia

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

  • JardineClifford Clifford Jardine (@JardineClifford) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia my package price has gone up again and I'm now paying almost twice as much as a new customer how do I leave without having to call

  • oafc617 OAFCDambuster #MHFA (@oafc617) reported from Oldham, England

    @laticsnut @virginmedia We got this too ... where do you live? ... because we lost our signal all day from waking up at 5am till 6pm Friday literally immediately before this happened!

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

  • ElliottAstle Elliott (@ElliottAstle) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I know your prices increase but going from £46 to £72 is ridiculous. Will defiantly be calling ASAP to cancel my contract and go with someone who provides the same service for a lot less.

  • AntBonney Anthony Bonney (@AntBonney) reported from Bolton, England

    My WiFi goes down so much it's unbelievable, Didn't have this much trouble with #Sky. @virginmedia get your act together, thank the lord for @giffgaff 4g.

    @virginmedia Contacted your call centre and they were no help. Broadband is so slow! Not good enough. No way anyone seems to want to help.

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is there a national problem with services or what? I’ve had intermittent internet for 3 weeks now. This is taking the proverbial. Says it’s fine but nothing is happening????

  • bazza_bee78 🚩Bazza B 🏴 (@bazza_bee78) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Waiting on an engineer now, none available until Saturday pm. That will be over 3 days without any service.
