  @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 37 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 51 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported 53 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 58 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  @virginmedia So what’s the point of the online renewal journey? Is the system designed to help customers, or just to annoy them?

  Hey @virginmedia - work on your customer service training. Renewed my contract this morning, then a salesman rings me this afternoon trying to sell me an upgrade. When I told him I’d just sorted my package, he simply cut me off without a further word! Good day to you, too, sir.

  @VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

  To work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs
