@virginmedia It just came off my bill but I rang and expressed that it should have been more and they would look into it but I’ve not had a response. You’re going to fob me off with intermittent service but perhaps you should have sent someone round to check but then you’d have to pay out l!

@virginmedia I’ve raised 2 complaints and had £5 as a goodwill gesture which is quite frankly insulting. The ofcom regulations states £8 per day for every working day after 48 hours of no service. By my calculations I should of had £24 off my bill. Fri to tues is 48 working hrs then tues-fri

@virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

Couldn't watch Eng v NZ game yesterday on @virginmedia because the ITV picture was appalling. Just switched on for the Wales v SA game exactly the same issue. Time to switch from this very expensive flaky service. #nothappy

@virginmedia I've tried rebooting it several times, and checked the cables are all secure although noone has been home all day so they've not been touched and it was working before I left but not working when we got home at 4.30pm

@virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

@virginmedia I don’t have the number as it was withheld. But it was to our landline that no one has! Offshore from a busy call centre in India I think. Claimed to be looking after the lines and said our router had multiple errors (it has been slow recently) so sounded legit...

@Switchtobetter @virginmedia To be fair, CS I've never had a problem with and I have called and tweeted a LOT. I just want my internet to work when I expect it to.

@virginmedia The £5 was given as a result of my complaint. I don’t know why you kept harping on about intermittent service. I had NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER FOR 1 WHOLE WEEK!! Nothing, not a bean, no tv, no internet, so please stop saying intermittent service!!

@theTunnelBear is there an issue using your service on @virginmedia - first time using their internet and I can’t access your website and my bear won’t activate (HTTPS error is thrown rather than a direct blocking notification) think @ThreeUK are also blocking your website

@Paul_667 @virginmedia Nope, not had that problem mate, the only problem is getting this phone line moved over, for such an easy task they do seem to be making it very VERY complicated.

@virginmedia Could not offer services at new address so contract cancelled-now telling me I owe £200 & will send bailiffs round-despite murmurous phone calls to get this sorted & raising an urgent complaint 6 wks ago. Have taken advice from @Ofcom and @CISASUK Utter disgrace.

@virginmedia It’s day six without service. I have been speaking to your call centres who simply tell me what they see on their screens. These are the same messages that I’m getting via text. When I call 150 each day I get the same message saying normal service should resume by 4pm.

@TheParkView1 @vmbusiness They are dreadful. We have @virginmedia and regularly use service. And have to argue to get any compensation back 😡

Hi @virginmedia you send the wrong phone & I have to sort a return out before you’ll send the correct one, leaving me without a phone. Utterly rubbish customer first experience.

@virginmedia That means nothing. Your engineers were supposed to be calling me to help with the issue. They were supposed to be monitoring & then calling me back. See the thread above. It’s simply not good enough. You’ve washed your hands of me cos someone can’t be arsed to try & help

@virginmedia Have done multiple times. It is now saying there is a known fault, with an expected fix by 20th Oct. That’s really not acceptable. I WFH, I have lost a good amount of this week due to no/intermittent connection, I cannot lose another
