@virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

@virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

@virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

@virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

@virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

@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.

@virginmedia are you having problems with your broadband connections in the NE15 area ?, it’s been rubbish over the last few days

@virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

@katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

@virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

Virgin Media are very cocky to put their prices up by £3.50 a month for a service that only bloody works 10% of the time

@virginmedia Service still terrible. Had a letter telling me I’d sent a complaint/issue to the wrong place. Would it be too difficult for you to simply talk to another department internally? Additional stress while preparing for work presentations today. Will be looking for another provider.

@virginmedia I am in desperate need of a call back. I need to cancel my contract but the phone line keeps cutting off part way through my call. I am leaving the country shortly and need to arrange return of my equipment before then.

@virginmedia Your WiFi is trash... cuts out everyday, even the functionality of your remote and the boxes, the fact you can't even pause a show for more than a couple mins is a joke. Terrible.

@virginmedia Nope. None. It’s worse now than that it was before - would happily take reduced speed for more reliable service. Suppose I’ll be phoning back to the tune of £50
