    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

    @virginmedia never experienced a more dis-jointed, unsatisfactory installation experience (installation delayed another 4 weeks on top of 7 weeks I have already waited) with any other service provider ever.

  • darreng3007
    Darren Green (@darreng3007) reported

    @virginmedia Had a new box delivered and installed today, since installation all channels are unavailable with code 100:70 being shown on screen. Been waiting for a response since 2:15pm and still no contact from either the quoted phone number or web messaging system, very poor service.
