@virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

@virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

@virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

@virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

@virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

@virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

@virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

@virginmedia What sort of crappy service are you proud to be offering?? Three weeks ago you promised to send me a booster for a weak signal, to be confirmed by phone call yesterday by a CS woman called Nadia, whose call I unfortunately missed but her vm said she'd call back. 1/2

@virginmedia So I tell you calling you is no use as no one can help me, I can’t use webchat as I don’t have an account anymore and I’m sure as hell not writing you a letter. Give me an email address of manager or I’ll be finding contact deets for the chief exec.

Had @virginmedia phone ... again! Saying that can do better on price. I phoned up & asked for a better price due to rise in energy bills & food, they couldn't help. But now I have cancelled & got broadband elsewhere, they are falling over themselves to do better! #energybills

@virginmedia Connection seems to be dropping every hour or two, very unstable. And the speeds we do get are awful. Myself and my partner both work from home and it’s beginning to impact our work.
