@simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

@virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

@VirginMediaIE @EmmaP46714206 @virginmedia I tried that, deleting the cookie also, but it still didn't fix the problem. Must be something to do with an incompatibility with screen sizes/resolution.

@virginmedia Hi, as per my origi al tweet, I've been on a WhatsApp conversation with various people since 9am this morning. It's indicative of the state your customer service is in. All I'm asking is consideration of the fact I have been trying to close my account for days.
