@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?

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 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 terrible customer service. I’m so frustrated that you still haven’t helped me with my bill after so many attempts and apparent “resolution”. I will now be looking elsewhere for my broadband even if it’s more expensive as I’m very disappointed with this service.

@virginmedia Can’t say to you what I really want to say as this is a public platform but I’m sure if you look (if you can be bothered that is) at all the really disgruntled Virginmedia customers out there you realise that your services are crap. You know that, don’t you? Yes you do, admit it
