    @virginmedia seriously, a price increase?! Only renewed my contract 2 months ago and for more than I've ever paid! Of course, no customer service available either. Ridiculous!

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Seaham, England

    @virginmedia is a joke had a issue with my internet box for weeks and nothing resolves it and I try to call them and never get a hold of them. Pisstake

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia I rang after the email and they assured me they have applied a discount and would stay the same price for my contract. I agreed a fix price and if that's not what I got then I have been lied too, which is a miss sale and the ombudsman will be contacted, again.

  • GazzaG1 Gary Ayre (@GazzaG1) reported from Blackhall Colliery, England

    @virginmedia I have no sevice on my is there a problem or is my phone?

  • SFisher74 sally fisher (@SFisher74) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Would not recommend Virgin. Had more problems with them than we ever had with sky and BT together. No WiFi for 3 days - “due to an outage” they say. How is this acceptable? Terrible service.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @bobharrisuk @virginmedia I am having the same problem. 10 days and several hours on the phone. Still no email.

  • a_lil_bear JoJo (@a_lil_bear) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Spoken to the call centre as well… same story EVERY time ‘we are working on it’. How long will it take to fix? It’s effecting numerous systems in my house!

  • RJG9090 Ryanjoegilbert@outlook.com (@RJG9090) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet wasn't working this morning. I have tried the service status which tells me to wait 24 hours. I have reset my hub, factory reset my hub and the light on the hub is white but no device is working. Followed all your guides online too.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Is this why you seem unable to fix faults.

  • KayJay242111 KayJay (@KayJay242111) reported

    @virginmedia interesting conversation with your helpdesk. My 'super' hub 3 is experiencing intermittent WiFi issues with signal drop outs; Nothing they can do... really? You only guarantee ethernet and not WiFi? Thanks(!) Maybe I should reconsider supplier?

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @virginmedia @curlylew06 @richardbranson No point raising complaints as you just ignore them or offer tiny compensation for the trouble caused. Virgin Media getting worse each year

  • Diana80824998 Diana (@Diana80824998) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to one of your staff but he could/ would not cancel it but was trying to sell me more broadband which I do not need. He said he would call back but that didn’t happen. I have come up against a brick wall. Please provide an email address so that I can cancel this.

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @Ed6114 @virginmedia No it's exactly the service you have given Ed, me and a lot of other customers. Your customer service is absolutely awful as 8s your comppaimts handling procedure.
