@virginmedia Sadly no. we admitted defeat, we were on hold for 1hr 50 mins. Got through the next day, the equipment sent does not work properly now have been advised to call after the new year to chase it again. We are paying for a service we aren’t receiving this is really disappointing

@virginmedia We tried the messaging service thank you that didn’t help either. To be honest we are dreading trying to contact you again in the new year to get this sorted another 2 hours on the phone! I would have thought it your responsibility to sort this out but apparently not!

@keith_bloke @virginmedia CS agent hung up on you? The only justification for that is if you used bad language. Otherwise they should be attempting to resolve the issue for you. Is this for your Dad? Mobile providers are universally poor. They consider themselves never in the wrong. I’m with @EE also poor

@virginmedia are a joke been online chatting for over 2 days all I want to do is cancel my TV & landline package and get a good deal on my broadband, why do they make it so difficult, I don't have time to spend all day on phone to them, online supposedly is quicker & easier 🙄

@virginmedia No. I am at work from 6.30 - 4.30 every day in a school and can't take calls. This is why I am sat here like a complete idiot waiting for someone to pick up the phone - 30 minutes now. So help me I will cancel this contract if it kills me.
