@EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

@virginmedia I don't have any wired devices. The service has just been lost again. When the service is lost one of the green lights on my TiVo box starts to flash, but TV service remains normal

@EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well I can’t say I’m surprised! The other week I was on hold for almost an hour, then was cut off, never actually got through!! Do let me know how you go on.

@virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

@virginmedia I want to downgrade. Lowest TV package (no BT Sport) 50MB broadband Weekend calls How much pm would this be. Currently on Full house and I've been told it's going to £85 pm. This is far too much. Need to get costs down.

@virginmedia Do you have ethics? Could you help me get the credit on my account refunded? I've been asking for a refund for 6 months since leaving & each time you assure me it's been sent out, but never arrives. Must be 5 times you've lied to me about my money, have you stole it?

@virginmedia Morning Virgin, have had WiFi down since 12.30pm yesterday and the online updates just change the time. Did click for the text updates but nothing has come through. Could we see if an engineer is actually onsite to fix? Thanks

@whippletom I'm about to do this @virginmedia Been offered my exact package for half the price as a new customer, been a customer for 20 odd years. Everytime I ring up I get the usual run around.

@whippletom My @virginmedia has nearly doubled and I can never get to speak to anyone in customer service. Currently looking into other options so I can leave, not the service you deserve when you’ve been with a company for a long time.

@ladylauraprice @virginmedia There is no point in raising a complaint I’ve had one running since 26th June and I still can’t get my issue resolved. Appalling and Virgin are just wrapped up in procedures, no one at Virgin Media has a real care about proper customer service.

@Shame4me @whippletom I’m having that problem right now. Have gone through every channel to close my account. Out of contract for ages. Everything disconnected and now I have Sky in. Virgin Media still will not close my account.

@AndyHarrison123 @virginmedia Help desk pretty much admitted it. Said suspicious activity. No doubt me constantly changing my password. Suggested fix within 5-days. Said they would email me when done!!!! First noticed it about a week ago. Galling when you get the followup marketing text.
