    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

    @richardbranson your virgin media service is shocking! I thought your ethos behind running your companies was a lot better than the top providers but I was wrong, your worse! #leaving

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

    KevJ (@KevvyJ63) reported

    This is a set ‘bot’ message that just replaces the name each time….. if @virginmedia can ‘bot’ people and respond ‘so quickly’, why’s it taken a WEEK to sort the same issues as last weekend. Shite service that we’re paying top dollar for!!

  • anthodges
    Ant Hodges (@anthodges) reported

    @virginmedia No inconvenience - I’m asking if I can charge you if your engineer cancels on me and wastes my time as you had to remind me many time that I would have to pay you of if I cancelled - I think it’s only fair that I can if you cancel.

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.
