  Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

  I am like have you heard yourself. You asked me for my monthly bill amount which I gave I was asked to confirm my email address which I gave and then the next question was how much is your monthly bill again I gave £27 Is @virginmedia customer services agents computers or human

• 
  Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported 5 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Under UK law (primarily the Consumer Rights Act 2015), broadband services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be of satisfactory quality. A complete outage lasting 7 weeks is almost certainly a breach, giving you the right to end the contract and seek a remedy (like cancellation without penalty or a refund for the affected period). Virgin Media participates in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme for total loss of service (no internet at all via wired connection). You should already be getting ~£10.34 per day automatically after the first 2 full working days of reporting the fault. This doesn't directly let you cancel penalty-free, but it supports your case.

  @virginmedia Sent an email ad for Wifi Pods. Clicked the link — can't buy one. Googled it — same issue. You're actively losing sales from your own marketing. Someone needs to audit your funnels urgently - you're losing money.

  Thank god we have backup internet "just" and @FreeviewTV on @Manhattan_TV whilst we wait four days for @virginmedia to fix their service

• 
  Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Can customer services agents @virginmedia be more human and less computers please? The customer services agents needs to listen on what is being said. The minute a phone call goes off script the agents are so confused and doesn't know how to speak and listen

  @jen_moxon Their Customer Service, the word ‘service’ doing a lot heavy lifting here, is the worse. They randomly cancelled my DD without notice then bill me for late payment… @virginmedia Nice broadband, sh*t service, will go back to BT at renewal time.

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia For a media company they are extraordinary bad at being able to communicate, had them once-never again.

  John Priestley (@JohnPriestley70) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am trying to link. I can get as far as confirm transfer. After a few seconds I get an error message page saying something about expired, then it jumps to VM page with login. Could not get a screenshot of the error message, it disappeared that fast.

  @LucyProxxyfox @O2 @virginmedia Good luck with a complaint Lucy, mine is nearly 5 months old after O2 cancelled an iwatch contract incorrectly and stuck an arrangement to pay on my credit file, which stays for 6 years. About to go to the ombudsman
