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 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 :)

@virginmedia I spent an hour on my mobile to Virgin today as landline isn't working. Spoke to three different people and, finally they told me it was a hardware issue with my phone, not the line. I have borrowed two phones from neighbours and they don't work either #virginmedia

@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 I have spoken to your sales team and mobile care this morning. I am done. You guys have basically called me a liar. Taking money from people without providing a service is thieving! Times are hard as it is. I'm going elsewhere.

@virginmedia why is your broadband service dropping out every few minutes in CR2 yet your service status page says no issues in this area? I know it’s doing it because I’m trying to work and constantly being booted off Teams calls when the connection drops.

I HATE this new @virginmedia box. Now either the DHCP or the display of the DHCP client has failed this morning. What a piece of crap this is. I gave my nice AP to my folks so will have to buy one. What's a good recommendation peeps? Thanks!
