@virginmedia Media service. I waited 30 mins to speak to someone, after selecting an electronic option to cancel. "I'm not authorised to cancel". Now back on hold. Virgin has the worst customer service of any company I've interacted with. It's insane.

@virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

@virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

@virginmedia can you please advise how I can easily cancel my service ASAP. It's (deliberately) impossible to contact your company by phone.

Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

@virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

@virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

@virginmedia Disgusted at the speed of my broadband I am receiving. Signal very very slow. Paying for M50 broadband. Feel I am paying over the odds for what I am getting. But I already know your reply. Everything ok our side. Also received that the price is going up #ripoff

@virginmedia This has never been suggested before; you’ve been quite happy just to take the money and then hit me with an annual increase way above inflation. I’ve spoken to customer services on a couple of times in the last couple of months, and the offers have been quite frankly insulting.

@virginmedia Thanks for your help with this, but can you please refrain from using foreign call centres; it is incredibly frustrating trying to explain to someone that you’re unhappy about your bill, who interprets this as a technical problem.......

@virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

@virginmedia Worst customer service I've ever encountered. On multiple occasions over several years. Rudeness and lack of knowledge being the main issues, along with the usual very long hold times.

@virginmedia Question: Are you the worst company in the UK for Customer Service or is it just me that doesn't deserve any assistance? 25 hours on WhatsApp and you have so far only asked if I am happy to continue waiting.

@virginmedia can somebody assist from your customer service team ASAP please! We have contacted you 20 times in the past week regarding being overcharged, failure to transfer services post moving home and loss of services. Nobody seems able to help #fedupcustomer

@virginmedia @NatGeoUK Why do you not allow customers to cancel renewed contacts at vastly inflated prices. Cannot get through on the phone or online. You are an absolute joke.

@virginmedia Can you advise after setting up my parents on line, I now can no longer sign in to my own account.I just don't have time for this.

Decided to move form EE/BT network to the promise of @virginmedia and super fast cable. A cancellation without notice and nobody internal to the organisation can tell me with any degree of confidence that the installation next week will go ahead. Not a great way to start!!

@virginmedia Like hell I do, still have intermittent issues that don’t have a cause of fix. And yes your terms of service seem ******* at best. And your contract will be for £66 a month. I can get more value from sky for 1/3 less

@virginmedia I've just been on hold for over 1 hour 20 minutes trying to cancel my contract and you hung up on me. To say I'm outraged is an understatement.
