@virginmedia You maybe there, but you'll drop the call...again, and again, and then once more for luck. Bloody awful expireince trying to phone you. Not something I'm willing to repeat.

@virginmedia Intermittent broadband service for 24 hours, no contact or apology, and when I called your customer service rep said it wasn't on the status page because "it only affects 25% of customers." Your company should be up in front of Ofcom.

@virginmedia How can you justify me, a service user for 6 years, paying 3x your current 'new customer' tariff Can I disconnect and rejoin at the lower price please?

3/4 T&Cs: Moving home outside of or within the Virgin Media Network service area “If you move within our service area, we cannot guarantee to provide you services, if we are unable to provide services, then you can cancel and you will not need to pay an early disconnection fee”

@virginmedia how can you charge a disconnection fee for a service I never renewed and disconnected the day my contract ended? Absolutely ridiculous and I'm still being charged for the contract I never renewed!

@virginmedia problems again, on/off WiFi for 2 days now. Can't work and gather it will be fixed by 6 tonight. Can you verify! Postcode BN2 8AE. Not good enough - do we get a rebate for 2 days of lost work?

@virginmedia Absolute rubbish. I pay a premium for super fast broadband and it buffers during Streaming plus I've had no internet or phone line all day YET AGAIN. #internet #broadband #poor service

@virginmedia Yes it says there is a known fault which has been going on since Friday at 7pm. No further explanation and the estimate fix just keeps resetting. It is absolutely unacceptable.

@virginmedia I have it for years and was told it was quite old by techies improving my signal around the house (AMPLIFI ) But if there isn't anything else, so be it. Many thanks .

@virginmedia No, not at the moment! Guess what? Yep, your broadband is down in my area in #brighton. Well done, sterling service. You must be really proud. I have artwork to upload to my website and can't. And all you are going to do is say "sorry". That really won't help, it'll irritate.

@virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

@Ofcom @virginmedia Amazing thank you. I think I am getting somewhere with virgins Twitter team but there phone staff refused to escalate my complaint to a manager several times and then insisted on a call back which will apparently take 72 hours

@virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

@virginmedia been trying to call you for days, left on hold waiting to get through, disconnected multiple times. For last few days you have issues with your line not taking calls. I need to notify you I am ending my contract as moving home. What are my alternatives? #virginmedia

@virginmedia The status page doesn’t explain anything. Please DM me so I can send you my postcode & you can offer some level of service for this 7+ hour outage. Wholly unacceptable.

@smuttyslytherin @slimejim2 @virginmedia I felt like I was being put on the naughty step for asking a question . I think service has gone with them and they don’t care . I hope somebody plays back the call as it really was to bad to be true .

(@jwollington) reported
Polite word of warning.. if you use @MoneySavingExp to switch to @virginmedia - they will fail miserably to install your broadband and (with no notice) happily leave you without it for the entirety of Christmas... and then say "You're Welcome" !!

(@UAVHive) reported
@virginmedia Too late, we chatted on Facebook too, the service included leaving us £50+ out of pocket when a payment was taken twice. No one in your CS cares at all, period. Not on one call was their any evidence of empathy, ownership or empowerment. You need to overhaul your CS training.
