@virginmedia we've had atrocious broadband on SE26 4HN for weeks now, it just keeps dropping out and then coming back. I have just had my bill and I'm not really feeling we should have to pay for the service we've had this month.

I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

@virginmedia #virginmedia spoke to a very nice lady today from Virgin media who wanted to know why I was leaving Virgin after 10 minutes of me complaining on how bad Virgin has been extending my contract and all sorts of things she did apologise but I said it wasn't her fault

@virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

@virginmedia the WiFi here has been awful for the last few months, we've been on the same router for twelve years now, is there anything you can do to help?

@virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

@virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

@thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

@virginmedia I think I may actually be free from #Virginmedia at last other times I phoned up I got someone who just basically lied to me and extending my contract but this time I phoned up to cancel the contract and actually spoke to a very nice man so hopefully it's all done

@sazenrose @virginmedia Crazy. I really feel for the people who aren't expecting scams by default (like I tend to do) so they end up getting tricked. It's horrible and humiliating for them.

@SkyHelpTeam My Sky Talk landline hasn't been able to make or receive calls for days. There's apparently no way to discuss this online so I have to pay per minute to try to get through to your help centre on a non-Sky phone. Wait times are 30+ min. Time to switch to @virginmedia?

@virginmedia I’ve followed the text service option. I’m now in another ‘estimated 4 hour queue’. I joined one of these this morning, waited for 5 hours and then got cut off. I’m on the phone again and waiting for the text reply. Very painful and disappointing experience @richardbranson

(@MattDodson12) reported
@revpeterlaws @virginmedia I had the exact same thing last week. Repeatedly. At work. I remember telling him it was the worst attempted scam I'd ever heard. His response was word for word the same as the one you got. Maybe it was the same gentleman?

@virginmedia its caused massive inconvenience as I work from home. Twice Ive been left on hold trying to get help and there has been no resolution, it's a waste of my time and my money- the money I'm paying into your company. The service hasn't been good enough, please resolve
