@virginmedia Right this second, no. But it’s becoming clear that I cannot rely upon the service. It really is a utility. My water, gas & electricity all seem to run smoothly but not my broadband service. It is very frustrating.

@virginmedia I’m disappointed in the lack of service! I’m a vulnerable customer and yet they don’t seem to be bothered by this fact! I get promised call backs and they never happen... I’m left with no facilities

@virginmedia I don’t think you understand do you!! not just surrounding areas, this is misinformation and is causing your customers 30miles away from Southampton to waste time checking with work it support, windows it support, and pissing about with their routers because your not honest

@lisaculling @virginmedia They’ve broken one big f-off sized cable and are installing another one. Not a small job but even then I ended up with a leaking ducting by then yesterday.

Interesting how @virginmedia can tweet messages on twitter but ignore messages from customers. Shows how bad their customer services are. Don’t blame Corona either.

@virginmedia Whether broadband is a utility or not is a point of view. From my perspective, it’s a utility. I accept no supplier can guarantee service. VM may be just be on an unlucky streak. Your service is presently not something I trust - based on current experience.

I actually spoke to the #virginmedia engineer who had to fix the fibres in Southampton the other week. A utilities company had cut through them down by the roundabout at the end of the M271 he said. Up all day doing that of which was done by another company!

@virginmedia I’m awaiting a call back from a manager to confirm from the new customer team that he can get a quick start pack out to me ASAP due to my unique circumstances. The manager John said he or a colleague would call me by Saturday. It’s now Thursday and I’ve heard nothing!

Please @virginmedia learn from the banks and offer your customers the option to pause services or waive cancellation charges for people losing their jobs. £80 to take TV off my plan after 15 years as a customer is not helpful

Hey @virginmedia I have an issue with my account all to do with a new instal. Please can I talk it through with you to try and resolve it.

@virginmedia You didn’t mention the refund that Virgin Media clients should be getting. Reputational damage is one thing, but unless these repeated service outages cost your shareholders money, things won’t improve.

thanks @virginmedia I don’t have a working service as you say I have a bill to pay. According to the records next bill payment is due 04/05 but because your new installation charges are so high I’ve gone over the credit limit.

@virginmedia Why can't your customers get Sky Sports red button football today but Sky customers can. All we get is a screen saying no events, which is a lie. Not giving me much reason to stay with your sub par service. Don't pay money for an incomplete service. #NFFC

@virginmedia I’ve tried that and it hasn’t worked. No I won’t be sent to a forum. I pay for this service so you should be helping your paying customers. Not happy.

@virginmedia Hi. Can you let me know why my Sky Sports channels often pixelate or fail altogether, when all other channels are fine?

Hey @virginmedia - your cable installation process is appalling. 6 weeks, 6 engineer visits, literally zero progress made beyond establishing that Kier are useless, and all teams must return again because the first didn’t complete their job on their 3 attempts. Can i cancel?

@Laura_Rads @RobertOrdever @virginmedia No they are advertised as on red button on channel 503 but it's not working. Barnsley and sheff utd had the same issue earlier and rather than fix it they just editied the show info so it didn't say it was on the red button anymore.
