@Ofcom why are you still allowing virgin media to provide intermittent tv, broadband and phone packages without punishment. In our area over the last two year they have provided an awful service. Constantly going down or intermittent. Horrible customer service.

@virginmedia I’m not impressed. Switched for phone and broadband on 31st Aug. Telephone switch got rescheduled on the day of installation! Had to get existing provider to extend contract for 2wks. Broadband is constantly buffering and now gone down. @NOWTV @VodafoneUK better.

@virginmedia hi , your text service is awful and your agent went missing for 20 mins after I passed security and then said they were going to be an hour? It took 2 days for you to get back in the first place

@SkyHelpTeam Losing patience waiting for you to contact me about changing my V1 Sky Q box for V2. Fed up with some UHD recordings having software errors. 6 months left on my contract but I’m considering taking a financial hit, terminating it & leaving for @Virginmedia

@virginmedia can you confirm the issues with wifi today in S62WG? Attemping to work from home is very difficult when the wifi keeps disconnecting. Virgin website says no issue!

@virginmedia YES - Finally, after 6 days of waiting online, and phoning and texting everyday. #VirginMedia, you need to sort out your after sales and customer service, it's horrendous!! Nobody should be left waiting for 6 days!!

@virginmedia I moved back to virgin in Feb as I had a house move and it wasn't on my new street.Soon as they put it in I switched back to you but it certainly isn't the "always on" service I remember. I've had a new tivo within 2 months. Line issue. And repeated loss of service.All in 6 month

@tinaseskis @queenchristina_ @virginmedia I tried to cancel a broadband deal and they would not take the tag of my line so no other company could connect me. For literally months I spoke to them every day for months while they gave me the runaround 1/

Entering my third hour on hold to @virginmedia after being cut off. Ironic for a communications company. Literally the worse customer service. #virginmedia

@virginmedia so you send me a letter saying my bill will go up and i can cancel free of charge by calling a number. Call the number and its been disconnected with no other means of contact..... what are you guys doing?

@virginmedia Pathetic excuses to justify your random price increase. Like all business the archaic strategy that strangles the economy is that profits must always increase. Maintaining your ridiculous yearly profits has never been enough despite our hardship. **** you!

@virginmedia Disgusted with level of service, no notification of work being carried out over the next 3-4 day. Trouble communicating with call centre. Unable to work having to take forced leave.

@virginmedia @JennieBaillie Your customer service is ridiculous and appalling. We have been trying to call for 2 days straight now, waiting hours on end just to be transferred and wait hours again, until getting hung up by your end. We need to cancel ASAP and there is no way of reaching you. Do you care ?

@virginmedia OK so I followed the link, put in my question plus the account details. It now tells me to text a specific number. What is this? Is there actually anyone there? Are you actually offering ANY customer service? All this and you seem to have added spurious charges to her bill!!!

@virginmedia To make things even worse (if that is possible) the text number does not deal with faults. Virgin you should be ashamed of the service you offer. If my elderly Mum had to navigate this she would not know what to do.
