@jackfb22 @btsport @btsportrugby @virginmedia Glad it's on channel 4 too today. Even if it's not so good commentary. Has to be a feed issue somewhere, because the adverts were fine.

@itvMLshow how do I go about getting a refund for a misold contract from @virginmedia I told them I was moving house during contract but they said the area would be covered which its not & have now been charged a cancellation fee of £177. Customer service has been dreadful.

@virginmedia I’m on the phone as I have problem with the WIFI and the manager in the call centre is screaming at your call centre staff. Really, really incorporate. Disgusting.

@virginmedia I have called this number twice but am still awaiting a further call back. It is shocking that a company can charge such high fees especially as I was told when taking the contract moving house would not cause any issues. If you would wish to call me directly please dm me.

@sarahmiles82 @virginmedia Agreed. Never had a problem with them before. But when we moved last October the problems started, u just couldn't make it up. U can't ring them as they don't understand what tour telling them and they don't respond to their own online complaints system. #*****

@virginmedia crawling to a halt again. Yesterday evening very slow - 1.5Mb download. Now so low that can’t login to any online services or run Speedtest - latency too low. Virgin Media app says “good service”, but the Help Desk admits it is not going to be fixed until 29th Mar!!!

How lovely to receive a @virginmedia bill with a totally unexpected 20% price increase. No letter, no email, no warning - and no help on the phone! This now makes a total 50% increase in two years ... next job is switch provider 🤨

@virginmedia I have logged a complaint, 2 weeks later and no response. Although the email acknowledgement states you aim to make contact within 7 days.... This follows numerous phone calls, to which your Muppets over the phone were far from capable.

@preospurs @virginmedia They’re in breach of their contract with the service so I will have a right to cancel.

I will definitely be ending my TV Contract with #VirginMedia at the earliest opportunity, I am sick to death of watching stupid adverts on #DiscoveryTV Channels and it’s the same ones every damn time! If the #TLC Channel didn’t exist then it wouldn’t be so bad! 🤬

@virginmedia The agent over the phone checked with the support team, who advised that because the notes apparently say I didn't ask for a disconnection (I did) then the 30 days has to start from today. I am not paying up to the 9th of November as after Monday I will not be using the service.

@virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

Set the @virginmedia hub 4 up and is performing worse than the previous. Watching the boxing via sky go and keeps stalling and buffering. Also before when checked the speed it was 20mb when pay for 100mb. Waste of money as never get what pay for.
