@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

@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 @Ofcom Just rechecked with VPN off - absolutely no better !!! But I need the VPN because the assigned IP address is blocked on some websites and @virginmedia are telling me it’s not their problem !!! @ofcom is this the way a service provider should behave - 3hours in the phone yesterday

@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

@Omi1974 @sky @virginmedia Sounds like it's a sync issue. Hopefully reset should sort it. If it's one device try connecting with wps button. Should be front of hub and there should be one on ur Q box. Press n hold the one on hub for a few sec then same for Q box.

@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 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 @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 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 @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 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?

Can’t believe @virginmedia have left our Broadband in a worsened state than what they found and just left without fixing! £110 a month for this customer service!! Had nothing but issues!!

@virginmedia You already gave me this number. I’ve spent the morning trying to connect but have been hung up on. Will your team give me a call back? Virgin media are making it impossible for me to cancel my broadband and charging me for the pleasure. Disgraceful.

@skytv broadband and their Customer service is diabolical. Avoid them like he plague!! 2 1/2 hours on the phone, Internet still drops in every room, pay Sky boost and they still couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery! Never should have left @virginmedia don’t join @SkyUK
