@virginmedia My computer guy HAS looked at your forum. We know what the problem is but it needs technical support your end to fix it. It would take the right person 2 mins but we cant get past your incredibly poor customer service to get any kind of tech support. So stressful & frustrating.

@virginmedia Literally three years of the same inconsistency. And appalling customer service when you speak to anyone. There is nothing you have done or will do to improve this. As soon as I can get a decent speed from another local company I’ll be gone.

Looool. Virgin Media down again. Go to put our postcode in to see if service is affected in Redditch & apparently it's not a valid postcode. At least for a week every night the internet has gone down for about 20 minutes. Not the end of the world of course but a tad frustrating.

@virginmedia Hi, thanks for getting back to me. All my VM services were down in past 48 hours. Now restored. BUT you seem to have deleted my Sent Box from Virgin email Server. I had 2 sent boxes, but the one deleted is the major one synced to my Windows 10 so can't send imp work documents!!

@virginmedia No. It’s usually just one of the connected devices we lose at a time. Most often speakers but sometimes security cameras, sometimes hue bulbs. Never everything at once.

@virginmedia Yes, security cameras, nest heating, hue bulbs. Less frequently. But still happens. Everything works for a while then something or several things stop. Never everything. We have entirely re-set everything once, which takes hours to sort and is not an answer.

@virginmedia I have a technician coming on Tues to replace SuperHub but need specific technical support to restore Sent box on PC. Windows say object not found error Ox8004010F. VM techs used to help in past at level 2 or 3. Now it's impossible to get past level 1 tech support.

@virginmedia Could you also tell me why I cannot stream recorded programs when I’m away from home as I am required to be on the same Wi-Fi network which kind of defeats the object

@virginmedia There is no weak signal. I’ve checked all around the house repeatedly. There are no faults in the area. I have checked repeatedly. Customer services have been unhelpful on multiple calls. Had to fight to get an upgraded hub!

@virginmedia Okay. Just that Twitter asked me to sign into it and results would give you access. Thanks for clarification...just really dont understand why I have to go to a forum to get tech support for an error Virgin has made.

@virginmedia Why do you have to continually restart the phone to get rid of the red icon on The phone app icon even when you’ve deleted the voicemail It seems this is a major problem with you I would appreciate you resolving it all as otherwise the phone is not fit for purpose

@virginmedia why sell us a package when you do not have the correct infrastructure in place! 30 minutes on hold today, I’m giving up. We didn’t have these issues with Sky.

@virginmedia obviously massive problems!! All services down for 2 days, now reinstalled but they've deleted my Sent box on their server so I can't email documents, badly affects work and no technical support. They just cut out and hang up!!!

@virginmedia Yes gave 30 days from 6th October ending contract on 6th November. I kept the broadband and lost all the other package. Seems my contract has been reinstated and I never agreed to that! I am not calling in again this is your thought and you need to sort this issue. Thanks

@virginmedia I don’t understand how £35 pounds you offered of discounts for not being able to provide service for over a week across 2 periods of downtime resulted in only £5 off the bill?

@virginmedia Very slow sometimes. I would be grateful if u could remove the landline. I was told at the time I had to have it. No choice. Thanks

@virginmedia The issue is the unreliable internet speeds and connectivity we have reset the router numerous times but still nothing and according to your website everything is working perfectly which it’s not

@virginmedia still on hold, despite me calling you 6 times to say my bill is incorrect, you charge me double anyway, each time an agent promises me to fix and they don’t!!

@virginmedia I cannot access the link, I am not an account holder, and considering how poor the service is, I have no plans to ever be an account holder. I was promised a call back and have never received one. There is a trench outside my house for 3 months that has still to be repaired

@virginmedia You could set up the we chat now if you wanted. You don’t need a picture to imagine what a trench accross a pavement looks like. Last time I tried a we chat to lodge this complaint I had to wait 3 hours before I got a reply. Hence the public platform this time.

@virginmedia Day 3 and still no TV. What exactly are the engineers, who crested this issue, working on? Clearly not rectifying the chaos they created.
