@virginmedia when I resubscribed to your service for 18 months I requested wifi boosters which I was advised would be posted to me. 3 months on nothing received. Can’t get through on the phone or website chat service.

@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’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 the company that doesn’t give a **** about your complaint. Can’t be bothered to resolve your complaint and provides no avenue to complain.

Cancelling my broadband with @virginmedia after ridiculous price increases every month. Cannot believe how RUDE the guy on the phone was when I told him I still wanted to cancel. Absolutely shocking attitude .. made my decision to leave SO much easier!!

@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

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! 🤬

(@ColinShearring) reported
@virginmedia If you think I would spend an hour waiting to be transferred and then 4 hours on a mobile... because given the issue is no phone line guess what 150 wouldn't work The phone is now back on... seems they must have been doing something around 1315 when everything dropped Communicate
