@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

@virginmedia I -think- my services are down due to maintenance in my area. I received a text from you apparently but no email or letter. Any news on how long this is?

@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 doing me ***** again with no Internet. Two times in one week, slow speeds when it is working on 1gigabit, I got 2.08megabit download?! I hate that I can't have another service provider in my house.

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 They said they can’t do anything, just have to pay for 13 days of a service that hasn’t even been activated. Not the best customer service really, left @Plusnet due to them not helping (well trying to leave, seems impossible)

@O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

@virginmedia Broadband connection and WiFi are stable but connectivity is intermittent-keeps losing connection every few minutes for 30 seconds. This is a network fault but I cannot find an option to report it. B90 1LB

@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?

@virginmedia No estimated time. "It's a complex problem". In other words its a network fault not a line fault. Why isn't the number you shared available on your website? The service checker is useless in this scenario. The website says it's working when it isn't.

Well @virginmedia you have let so many people down with no apology or update. Disgraceful.

@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.

@PasokonGal meanwhile my Virgin Media Business connection provided by my landlord has been down for almost 4 weeks now and no amount of contact with VMB's support people seems to be effective in getting it sorted out

(@siancampbell86) reported
@virginmedia The call back estimation was by close of business that same day. I have still heard nothing! My complaint was about the fact that I have been waiting for some/any feedback and the fact that a month later I still have NO PHONE! I don’t understand why they cannot send out another 1
