Dear @virginmedia I'm not one to complain, however in this instance I feel I have to. I've been paying over the odds for your service for 6 years now... with only a few issues. 3 week ago my services just stopped working, bizarrely after I'd payed for pay per view...

@virginmedia @CowburnMarc @virginmedia you know this is not working so why send out standard template reply. Customers pay fortunes for this, action required and money refunds needed.

@virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

@virginmedia why am I still waiting for service. It has been over a month now for a house move. Over 6 hours spent on the phone getting blind transferred from one department to another. Complaints process on your website is broken as I can’t track the complaint’s #doyourjob

(@earlobd) reported
@virginmedia Apparently there was a flaw in the online system: it sent out a fake installation date, but with full details. Apparently online the phone system was working... We were told Virgin were aware of this problem and it affected quite a few people, yet we weren't informed?

@virginmedia So what's happening in SN1 again? Both myself and neighbour have no service, but your automated phone line says there's no problem.... It's been just over 5 weeks that our problematic connection was fixed (after 3 weeks of an unusable service).
