@virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

@virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

@virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

I’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

@virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

@virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

@jamescw44 @tonymc39 @virginmedia Spent months trying to get decent BB off Vodaphone and whole day last week with helpful engineer, then frustrating time on phone and Twitter Messaging, trying to solve the problem. Eventually, agreed to replace the Router. Should arrive tomorrow, hopefully, will solve the problem

@virginmedia hello. Will your overseas call centre stop a harassing me for the return of equipment that I was told to recycle as it was out of warranty and I was years past my contract end. I WILL issue a cease and desist letter if you continue.

(@ManiPillai1886) reported
@virginmedia Thanks. The message on this number says that there are no issues in the area. This contradicts what the customer centre staff told me. How can we get these conflicting messages?

@virginmedia I don't appreciate the aggressive, unsolicited sales call I've just had from one of your staff. Once I've calmed down I suspect I'll be calling YOU to cancel my account. It was outrageous.
-
Mani Pillai
(@ManiPillai1886) reported
@virginmedia No, neither your site nor your app shows any issues in the area. I am now on a call with another CS rep who tells me that there are issues in the area but doesn’t know why your website hasn’t got status update.

@Seb_is_tired @virginmedia For me it's going to be down until 22:10 according to the website, No box or Internet that is.

.@virginmedia someone trying to move their service from one address to another cannot get this done despite using all your channels. How can this be resolved as they are paying for a service they are not getting. Why is your computer saying “No”.

Dave Murphy
(@Skortchio) reported
What happens when you have to move home to accommodate your medical disability but @virginmedia, whom you've been a customer of for 15 years don't cover the area you move to? A "cancellation fee" over £200 is what happens. Thanks, @MoneyTelegraph for the complaints address.

@virginmedia No disruption to service according to your site and in any case this is a constant problem worse on weekends and Friday ( not related to our devices).
