    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

    Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  • StevieWalls
    Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

    @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Good luck trying to cancel the contract. Virgin media have been fined for not letting people leave.

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia The actual faults were both properties (70 miles apart!) bad power amplifiers along the cable itself underground to the cabinet which required senior network engineers to come out & replace them. Haven’t used them since (2010 was last time) because they dragged feet for so long.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Threaten to leave and they'll drop it down to the original rate

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia You had issues too? I've been sent a new set top box and it doesn't work at all. I need to get back to them next week before they start chucking charges on my account though....

    Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported

    @virginmedia I have heard from a distressed customer who’s having their correspondence CONTINUALLY ignored by your CEO’s office AND your “resolutions” office. You have also decided to substantially increase their monthly payments before their contract has ended. UNACCEPTABLE!!

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Oh, it took you 18 years to realise they couldn't give a **** about you as a customer?

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I was with virgin media for nearly 10 years, zero issues! Always got the speeds advertised, tv was also decent.

    Anon frog poster (@WebBuildingFrog) reported

    @Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I have the same. Only issue I've had with it is the cable was short by 1m so I had to order a longer one (third party much cheaper) Installed it all myself, whole village is impressed.

  • daniel18921892
    Daniel (@daniel18921892) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Confused because they have literally stated they sent you a return pack? I’ve been with them for years and have never had an issue with them. Suppose it’s beucase I’m not a **** like you clearly are
