@virginmedia why is your box down? Why doesn’t any of your apps load? E.g. Amazon Prime? 😑

@sahinbrum @virginmedia I agree that their compensation policy is bs, I’ve found when I’ve had any outage affect me, they patch it quickly so the service gets intermittent while they work on a full fix, that way they don’t have to compensate, even if service drops out every couple minutes. BS really

@virginmedia Your system sent me a satisfaction survey. Needed to complete it using mobile broadband because my virgin broadband doesn't actually work, but is apparently working enough to not qualify as being out of service.

@virginmedia Another lie I was told then! Apparently they were sending transcripts from 2 online chats yesterday and 1 from today. I’m really disappointed with Virgin, I expect better customer service from such a big company.

Gutted that I’ve renewed my mobile contract with @virginmedia I don’t think I’ve ever had such bad customer service before. I’m still waiting for transcripts from my chats yesterday to complain to the Ombudsman about them. I will not be renewing with them again!

@virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful

My contract with Virgin Media has run out and they want to up my contract price by DOUBLE. When I rang up to cancel I expected them to offer me a better deal and they were just Ok bye.

@virginmedia problems with emails all day. Message keeps saying try again in one hour. But no emails since 835am this morning. Are you aware of this problem? Any news on a fix for it?

@Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

Good old virgin media down again twitch in one week and I’m told two to three days before anyone can come out yet I bet the bill will arrive on time

@virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

@virginmedia Any chance of some kind gesture of goodwill to a very long-term customer (Telewest days) and long-term isolator due to suppressed immune system, struggling without a working & very necessary distraction...

@virginmedia do you have a known issue with the sports channels? They aren’t working and the phone-line cuts me out off.

@virginmedia That is my point KF there is zero information and you need to try and speak to a VM advisor in India and see how difficult the language barrier is KF however that is no excuse for being rude. Almost 20 years with SKY and never had anyone speak to me like your staff abroad.

@virginmedia The whole service we have had over the last week is a disgrace - absolutely disgusting. If a manager who can speak English could contact us it would be easier to discuss

@virginmedia If construction work is needed why waste my time by scheduling FALSE dates and Cancel hours before install? Why can't you give your call handlers the information? Virgin media have called me relentlessly since they PLACED cables on my Street in January 2022!! Pathetic.

@virginmedia What - you guys not got such a thing as a Manager around who will take responsibility? This is not rock science. Excuse me @elonmusk - what you do is literally rocket science. Is customer service meant to be? A science - yes - but this complex - surely not?
