@virginmedia shocking service already thinking of cancelling, and I’ve not even been setup yet. I’d avoid, maybe I’ll talk to the other fiber in my area, I think they are a lot cheaper.

@virginmedia recently downgraded my broadband package, but my Volt package hasn’t been reapplied to my account. Can you help as O2 show it’s active, but no options on your help site that direct me to someone to fix.

@virginmedia John, please check my file. I’ve called several times, to be told somebody will contact you regarding your complaint. I ask to speak to a manger I’m told, none available. Appreciate this is not your fault buts it’s an utter **** show. I’ll let @Ofcom take the lead from here.

@virginmedia you know when a customer makes a complaint (twice) and you say that the customer will receive a phone call within 24-48hrs. Is this true or do you just make it up as you go along? Thanks.

Dear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?

@virginmedia I am being bombarded by your sales agents trying to sell one package or the other to me in disguise to extend my contract. Immediately I tell them about the poor service, they hang up the phone right away. I'll advise people to avoid virgin media -they are out for the money.

@virginmedia @statusisdown virgin media internet is down since last night. its the 3rd time happening in the last 2 weeks. The customer support team is unhelpful to say the least. Engineer was supposed to come last weekend, but never showed up and never sent a single communication. Why am I paying so much to you if you are going to be down for days?

@virginmedia seriously, 7 days since BB transfer, complete outage since 1pm today! Utter rubbish - 8 hours. I work from home and also no TV. The latter i can tolerate, the former has been a disaster. 3 years with @TalkTalk not one hour off line.

@virginmedia Your service is extremely poor. My mum passed away in February and I called up your customer services to cancel her Virgin Media account. The man on the phone told me I couldn't cancel it but I could transfer the account into my name, wait 30 days and then cancel it.

@virginmedia @O2 We’ve been without broadband completely since Friday lunchtime. Fix time keeps getting delayed. All phones on o2 and all down to 3G, occasionally 4G so cannot use my hotspot in order to work. This is ridiculous considering how much money I pay out on airtime!
