I will definitely be ending my TV Contract with #VirginMedia at the earliest opportunity, I am sick to death of watching stupid adverts on #DiscoveryTV Channels and it’s the same ones every damn time! If the #TLC Channel didn’t exist then it wouldn’t be so bad! 🤬

@virginmedia I’m looking to cancel my contract with you, but I refuse to be placed on hold for an indefinite amount of time and your website appears to be broken/designed by idiots so I can’t easily find what I want. Can you help me sort this out please?

@virginmedia Nope; as above I have just been sabotaged and sent a ‘booster’ for the signal I don’t receive anyway. And now you are trying to charge me even more for the privilege; despite already paying 37 which is enough for the 220mb package with a free phone sim, while getting 50 :)

Good old virgin media. Here I am working away in important uni stuff and they once again go down. Until 6am apparently, according to the fault tracker. So that's my momentum lost, and now I have to do extra work tomorrow to catch up. Grand.

@virginmedia why does laying down the cables in the Eckington area, affect my Internet. It only runs for half an hour at a time if I'm lucky before cutting off for a few minutes! This is not good at all. When are you finishing the work!!!
