@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.

@SuperfastStaffs please let @virginmedia lay their cables in #Bilbrook and #Codsall we need proper #fibre broadband. We are being left behind with the copper solution that @WeAreOpenreach leave us with and it’s getting worse! @south_staffs @GavinWilliamson @StaffordshireCC

@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.

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.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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 :)

@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.

@virginmedia I don't think much will happen given virgin's track record but on the plus side you've given lots of material for my delegates on next Saturdays Customer Service module.

@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 :~}

@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!

@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.

@virginmedia you've managed to mess my home move up by NOT installing services on the day agreed and now calling to say it'll be another two weeks before the service can be set up. And your phone lines aren't connecting to talk to anyone! Joke of a company!!!

Ben
(@bengarrod4) reported
@virginmedia shocking service my parents Internet has been intermittent for about a year. Majority of the day it won't connect. You spend hours on the phone just to be fobbed off. Can you contact me to either cancel this contract or send an engineer out.

@virginmedia It was showing up yesterday as a fault😡 virgin media was supposed to text me when the issue was resolved- no text message. And now I’m spending my time going round in circles, because every time your services have an issue- you can’t actually get to speak to someone!!
-
Paul
(@YorkiePud1981) reported
@virginmedia so far spent over an hour on the phone today trying to cancel my broadband spoke to two different people who both said they had to transfer me and then I get cut off. No worries see I’m leaving CS is shocking

@virginmedia @Ed_Stroud Stop apologising and do something about your company. It's truly awful. Should have stuck to planes and cola.

Paul Cairns
(@Cairns5Paul) reported
@virginmedia It’s asking to do a hard reset on the router which I’m not happy to do, as previously said were all trying to work online. This obviously means re connecting all devices linked to the router. Not really a quick fix .

@virginmedia On your text service - still nothing, since asked to hold on at 7.09 this morning. Honestly, this is appalling

@LukeelkinsTV @virginmedia I recommend calling them to say you are planning to swap because it's too expensive. When I have done this in the past they have put it down (sometimes to lower than the original price). Worth a go in any case
