1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

@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 Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

@virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

@virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

@virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

@virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

@virginmedia They told me to do a hard reset of my hub yesterday, since when it's been worse than ever. It's been terrible ever since I got the hub, having never had anything like the same issues before with any other hub.

@virginmedia It's wireless. And it's very intermittent. For example, an hour after my tweet last night it was up to 280Mbps. At half 11 it was back down to 11. This is all in the same room.

Tim Woods
(@TimWoods63) reported
@virginmedia It’s suggesting there ‘may’ be a problem with the ‘in-home’ connection and suggests rebooting the hub (I have done this prior to yesterday but will do it again now)

@virginmedia hi SB i have registered interest over the years. but your website always shows our street as "connected" yet there is no physical connection on this half of the street. last time i asked two years ago your support told me it was not fanatically profitable to install

@virginmedia I’ve contacted customer services twice now and both times I’ve been cut off and my call dropped when an agent picks up after holding for 45 minutes.... pissed off is an understatement!
