    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

    @virginmedia I have decided to cancel after nearly 20 years! Tried live chat and all they did was reduce the package to reduce the price.

  • chris_knibb
    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Could @virginmedia be the worst company to get in touch with? Trying to cancel my contract. Website isn’t working, chat facility is glitching and after two hours no one has answered the phone. Gone slightly crazy listening to the same jazz song over and over again!

  • hartdj
    Danny (@hartdj) reported

    @virginmedia I am a new customer. Today I received home start kit. I have plugged in the router and it isn't connecting to the internet. I received a text message, saying 'due to a technical fault we can't activate your kit, contact us on live chat'.... can’t get through on chat.

    @virginmedia I’ve spent the best part of my afternoon trying to cancel my expensive out of contract broadband. Chat just exits without on app and PC and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins on phone no one answers. Do I just cancel the £93 a month DD because that is ridiculous

    @virginmedia On pushing the private message button nothing happens. I'm trying to give 30 days notice to remove Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Your service has been so appalling today I'm considering leaving altogether.
