@virginmedia No that’s not what I said - the exec team did not resolve this issue and did NOT acknowledge that @virginmedia were aware that levels of service may not be provided due to demand - this first I heard of this was TODAY !!!

@virginmedia This is not about @ofcom stopping the compensation this is about you taking money for provision of for exapmple 350mbs service and not delivering on this !!! And then not admitting that this may be the case and continuing to charge customers!! It is unethical

@jasonsloan46 @virginmedia Landed up cancelling and going with Plusnet. I'm so over paying premium prices for subpar customer service & their product is so unreliable.

Can’t cancel the broadband service from @virginmedia . Since 2 July, we tried to sent numerous emails/feedbacks and no response received; called for several times and waited for 20 minutes with no one answered the phone. No access on the webpage to cancel the package as well.

@virginmedia It’s not really any of your business who I choose to involve in this dispute and I haven’t taken to Twitter necessarily to solve my individual problem - I am here to highlight that @virginmedia are charging customers full price for services THEY KNOW may have issues due

Of course, my internet goes down (AGAIN) just as @virginmedia sends me a 'fun' email. HOW ABOUT A WORKING SERVICE?

@virginmedia The intermittent dropping in the service #timewasting #poorcustomerservice - I am furious and to find out from a manager that this was a known possibility as recognised by @Ofcom!! So much of my time wasted and other customers also being charged for #poorservice

@virginmedia And yet you upgraded me in April have been charging me (with a very small refund for when there was no service) and despite literally hours of contact with you, 3 engineer visits, 2 new routers sent and only TODAY admitted that there may be issues due to demand that could cause

@virginmedia As for the number of router resets I’ve done - too numerous to count!! And continually arguing with a customer for the record is NOT the way to win them over

@virginmedia @Ofcom Again nonsense the “escalation” team are the ones supposedly dealing with it .... again ANOTHER demonstration of your departments failing to take ownership of the issues and the customer being the one left with fees still being taken, a poorly functioning service and wasting time

@virginmedia What a load of crap why did you ask in an earlier tweet then? Eh? Pure PR stunt - give that appearance that you’re concerned but I’ve called you out on it - why does that not surprise me? Perhaps @ofcom would be interested to know of this behaviour!!!

@virginmedia @Ofcom Were aware of this and continued to charge a higher rate - I wonder how many other customers out there are in the same position being charged for a service that you are failing to provide and @virginmedia providing excuse after excuse and still charging customers !

@virginmedia @Ofcom So surprise surprise call through to support - automated service says hub needs to be restarted AGAIN !! (8th time since Monday) but instead of the option that used to be there that allowed you to get connected to someone - now gives instructions and hangs up #badcustomerservice

@virginmedia I know you are there - you've been replying to other people here on twitter. I've been waiting two and a half hours to be answered now because I can't do anything online. Is this really considered an acceptable level of customer service?

@virginmedia While we're at it. Why does the automated system hang up if it can't find a fault on the line?
