Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

GW (@GGWilliams72) reported@cdavo25 @virginmedia I had Stream Box and Broadband set up yesterday. Neither working today, tried Cust Serv’s on hold over 45 mins and still no answer! These people are as garbage as their services, spend your money elsewhere. I’m going back to @SkyUK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Paul (@Pauldunfy) reported@ryantegan @skytv I had to cancel my virgin media after years with them and sign up as the wife to get the offer I wanted. Madness stuff.

John smith (@smith_john33910) reported@LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
