    @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong This isn't as bad as some would make out. 10 isn't ideal, but it's not insecure either. That's not to say you can't choose an insecure 10 character password however...

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband issues since May 2018. Multiple calls to customer service with no permanent fix. Last time I called I was asked the same questions repeatedly then cut off. Want a new hub that works and a bill review as it’s gone from £65 to £79 since Sept 2018!

  • Mitz__P Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why can't I take advantage of the Full House Sports Bundle... So what if I'm a existing customer, you've got me by the ***** anyway with the broadband. May as well just cancel and go elsewhere

  • jenkin99 jen (@jenkin99) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ive called you customer service department to be hung up on temwicw, i have sent an email to yourselfs and via resolver had no response. I have a health and safety issue i want resolving

  • ItsOnlyCaitlin Caitlin Parker🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️ (@ItsOnlyCaitlin) reported from Lichfield, England

    Wasting my data in my own house is the worst. @virginmedia are the worst 😭😭😭

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @ScottMcGready @kinoshitajona @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Scott, we use the term "unbreakable" in the trade to imply the credentials cannot be broken in a timeframe which realistically presents a risk to the user... it's not an OED term. Sure, if we're talking to an end-user, you either use a different term or explain the meaning

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong No, bash both :) As I said, it's a poor policy by comparison but I'd rather advise the user on how to choose a secure 10 character password than waste time preaching security to a social media staffer :)

  • WestonKerri Kerri (@WestonKerri) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke !! worst customer service provided ! #whybother

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Because "secure" requires a context which neither the OP nor yourself have given. 99% of my passwords are 12 chars, A-Z, a-z, 0-9. They're not being broken in my lifetime... so to claim 10 is sufficient to justify leaving is daft.

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Tried the chat everyday for the past 5 days and it is not working. Due to recent changes with someone at household moving out I do not need the landline anymore,and wanted to discuss my options as I do not want to pay monthly for a service I am not using

  • xpjxuk Paul Jenkins (@xpjxuk) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia been hounded with call for 2 weeks finally answer to be offered disgusting customer service and when I ask about the offer on the Martin Lewis website told can’t have it please call me or I will be leaving and going to sky

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @leicscyberaware @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong The irony here is 3 random words can be broken in as little as 40 seconds, maximum 50 minutes. A 10 character random password, by comparison, would take 7 weeks with the same hardware.

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong I didn't say it was perfectly fine... but it's certainly possible to pick a secure 10 character PW within those constraints. I was a VM customer for 2 decades... I can't recall ever losing sleep over this.

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @leicscyberaware @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong You're right, it's not good enough... but it's not insecure either. I debunked 3 random words years ago. Now *that* is poor advice.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @squelchuk @MingSwift @virginmedia We have a good box. That took long enough to get upgraded. I would try a superhub3… but I want a signal that gets around the house too, as well as reliability!

  • ikonic_exposure Daniel Sturley (@ikonic_exposure) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia What would really help is a separate sales number to call and to speak with an agent straight away with no ‘system’ to navigate and who understands my disability and can help me to sign up if I want to :~}

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @kinoshitajona @ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Agreed, neither are secure and should never be used... however it's certainly possible to make an unbreakable MD5 password.

  • wolfboy78 pepe sprio (@wolfboy78) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia No tried again and unable to send an engineer because the fault is not happening .. I did try to explain it's intermittent 😡😡but with the language barrier she couldn't understand .. I will try and cancel my account later because I'm not paying for a service that has issues

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    Made a complaint to @virginmedia 10 days ago via their online service with a 7 day anticipated response time and yet have heard nothing since the acknowledgement of my complaint. This basically sums up my experience over the past year of ineffective response to our issues.

  • HShimkoUK Hannah Shimko (@HShimkoUK) reported

    @virginmedia so we just upgraded our internet and today its gone down all day! How are we meant to work on a day we are told to wfh? And now you are saying #nocompensation? Ridiculous!

  • perryman775 Matthew Perryman 🇪🇺 (@perryman775) reported

    @GarethGrump_71 @virginmedia Their customer care leaves a lot to be desired. We’re on a “ultrafast” package, guaranteed speeds of 300mbps, in the 18 months we’ve been with them we’ve barely gone over 100. Awful.

  • ftpot Frank Poole (@ftpot) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to cancel my order for broadband because your salesman lied to me and your just cuts me off.

  • McgradyKieron kieron McGrady (@McgradyKieron) reported

    @virginmedia the worst customer service department just send you round and around and when you finally get to the relevant people and start sorting out you leaving as your contract is up they just hang up on you.

  • Dazzler2909 obe (@Dazzler2909) reported

    @virginmedia It's gone down again and it's only giving me a technician appointment in 3 days this is a joke @LGurbutt was right Sky is better

  • KiritPankhania Kirit C Pankhania (@KiritPankhania) reported

    @virginmedia The customer service was wholly bereft of any element of humanity, empath or even service #VirginMediaRubbish

  • sethghecko Sethghecko (@sethghecko) reported

    @virginmedia my tv and internet has been completely down all day. How can this be fixed?

  • Dannijl Dr Danielle Lamb (@Dannijl) reported

    @virginmedia Is tomorrow, the hottest day of the year, when people have been told to work from home if possible, the best time to be taking down the internet in #Streatham for routine maintenance? Really dangerous to force people to travel, against government guidance.

  • djkarlton DJ Karlton (@djkarlton) reported

    @virginmedia @zainmas86 I have been trying to leave Virgin for weeks now, shocking customer service, passed from pillar to post. Shocking experience I've gone from a 5star customer to absolutely despising your company. Re: Customer Service - Whatsapp & Phone service terrible and I'm still not cancelled!

  • laujensx Lau (@laujensx) reported

    @virginmedia Yes no issues. Assumed it was updating. Came back last night so cancelled the engineer this morning only for it to go back off now!! How does this keep happening?!
