@virginmedia we would like to cancel our contract with you but your website is sending us round in circles and it’s impossible to get through to your call centre. You’re taking advantage of the lockdown to rip people off!! 🤬

@virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

So we pay over £100 a month for full @virginmedia package and fastest Internet going, but is it so so bad. It keeps cutting out all the time or going slow.

Terrible service from #virginmedia for 3 months+. Spent hours on the phone for the goalposts to be moved again. Apparently if you are residential customer intermittent service in a 24 hour period is acceptable, even if that is 10 minutes Bye bye 🖐🏻🖐🏻#bonvoyage

@virginmedia I’ve not had any confirmation. I get put on hold while speaking to disconnections and then the line just goes dead every time. I’ve spend over 2 hours on the line trying to sort this out and no one can seem to cancel my contract.

@virginmedia Excuses, your sales reps should let new customers know it may take a year for installation so they don’t cancel their previous provider before hand and Aren’t left without tv and internet for 3 months.

@atetoomanymars @virginmedia I can’t check if our landline is down because we don’t actually use it. There’s got to be a way to register the fault. You could try the link to complain I was given yesterday- that might be one way to register it? I will go and get it…

@virginmedia I’ve just been told by a friend that you’ve advised 3 weeks to restore service. Someone else has been told this was planned works and customers notified - I certainly haven’t been warned in advance. I will be contacting @Ofcom
