@virginmedia One tv is now working. The other 2 still saying No Signal. I haven't touched sets since engineer was here on Monday. Just used remote controls which I find inefficient.

@virginmedia Long conversation. There is definitely a problem which is not good as engineer was here Monday. Booked another visit for Friday evening. So no tv for me until Friday. Can't get Prime or Netflix. This is not satisfactory is it? I live alone, so I'm very angry.

@virginmedia Yes. I am getting no service via the 2nd box whatsoever. The box light does not change from red. Tried switching off at the wall. Checked leads & have swapped over HDMI lead all to no avail.

@virginmedia worse customer service I’ve ever experienced . Write to me and give me a number to contact and here I am on hold for 15 minutes . No messaging , no digital or chat options to resolve . Need someone who knows we’re in 21st century looking at your service model .

Thanks @virginmedia for a wasted 5 minutes with one of your ops tonight, trying to flog me your 360 service which I didn't need or want. Can you just get your ops to cut straight to chase in future, instead of me telling them that I'm not interested 5 times!

@virginmedia it’s weird how every time I’m put through to the department to cancel my services I get cut off, almost like you’re making it purposely impossible to cancel

@virginmedia I'm sorry you misunderstood my request. After over 20 years of custom all I need to do is pass on my phone number so you can call me to discuss my chronic issues with your expensive services. DM me tomorrow and I'll pass on my mobile number.

@virginmedia Hi there, it's one of the old SH2's with the known dhcp issue (requires reboot constantly because dhcp crashes). They pay upwards of 70 notes a month and never logged a fault, just need a new one and I'll connect it up to save engineer time.

@virginmedia We were told so many different things that it was so tedious as no matter how many times we said it was broken they just would not listen!!

(@weavejester) reported
@virginmedia It's fixed now. It usually is within 24 hours (though my area suffered a 6 week outage a few years ago). The problem is the frequency of outages. If there is a loss of service 1 day a week, it's not usable for remote working.
