@Ofcom @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Virgin Media, you are the worst! Offering me a paltry £20 compensation for 10 days of total service loss. You deny it was a total loss not intermittent so I am not eligible for Ofcom compensation! False! #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia I phoned up today to find out why I was paying £50 a month for internet when a new customer pays £35. I was basically told to accept it so I think I’ll look at moving to @SkyUK for £27 a month.

15yrs I was with @SkyUK @comcast and after just speaking with a top call handler I’ve just been passed through to the most arrogant unhelpful person in the cancellation team! I’m leaving mate! @virginmedia @TalkTalk Loyal customer coming your way! #Telecommunications

@virginmedia It just seems odd that Virgin seem happier losing an existing customer than just giving them the same deal as a new customer. Instead of £35 a month they get nothing.

@james_etheridge @virginmedia I found Virgin so unreliable and their customer service so terrible that in the end I left them after 8 years of loyalty because I just couldn't work out what I was even paying for...

@virginmedia Virgin Boardband why for the last 3 THURSDAY in a row that there is a Boardband outage in the RM26QD area. We work in a society where companies allow working from home. Called Customer Service who was just reading a script and repeating himself. Sort it out Virgin

The @virginmedia customer service can’t understand one simple request and problem, passing my housemate between pillar and post for hours on the phone and making broken promises. Seriously useless. Oh and the internet speed has been crap and not as advertised for months - avoid

@virginmedia It’s working now, the point is that it wasn’t working when the women’s open was on yesterday with no warning or redirection. I tried to get help and was waiting 18 mins (timed). And by the way not the first time virgin randomly change the description or the channel.

Disgraceful customer service by @virginmedia - 15 min wait to discuss £20 increase in bill with no comms. RUDE staff ‘I don’t care if you want to leave’, immediate transfer and 15 more mins of music... APPALLED. #CustomerService #fail

@Leearna6 @suz_rudnik @virginmedia Ofcom compensation is £8 a day for loss of service but they don’t pay it until service is back on... defo chase it up as it’s the law now not just a customer service / good will gesture. As soon as you are reconnected it should be applied to next bill.

@virginmedia It was media. The call was finally answered after around 40 minutes. I wouldn’t mind if this was an isolated issue but I’ve had a number of problems with virgin media customer service (by phone) and looking online it seems that many other customers have experienced the same.

@virginmedia Down detector has been lit up like a light bulb for the area since Thursday, I'm not going to waste over an hour on hold to be told you have intermittent problems in the area and you're very sorry. You really do have a low opinion of your customers don't you.

@virginmedia Maybe you should. Why should I formally report a widespread problem you are unable to detect? It’s your network. Good grief. This happens every time and I guarantee it’ll take about 4 hours for your company to even notice (& longer to act).
