@louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

@virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

@virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

@virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

@virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

@virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

@virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

@richardbranson Dear Mr Branson, I would like to bring to your attention, how terrible the service has been from one of your companies, Virgin Media. It has been over a year since I’ve been experiencing issues but NOT a single person in your organisation has taken responsibility.

Paul Whitelegg
(@PaulWhitelegg) reported
@virginmedia John, thank you for the reply. Currently things are working. However, that misses the point. It’s the inherently unreliable service that is objectionable. This comes in different guises: drop outs; reduced speeds; variable WiFi signal strength. And its been like this since Jan.

@virginmedia John, it’s been 11 months. Please stop with the absurd excuses. Having 0.3 Mbps every single day for 11 months is not acceptable. The estimate for this fix is always 2 weeks, but has been postponed 25 times!!

One day, I really will write a report into how service-providing corporations like @virginmedia lock people into contracts, attempting to squeeze money out of people at every turn, and the devastating impact it can have, especially if it affects your credit score etc
