    Having trouble syncing my virgin WiFi pods. Anyone with any ideas? #virginmedia #wifipod #help

  • Ryan_Ahern79 ryan ahern (@Ryan_Ahern79) reported

    @virginmedia I haven't even been issued a reference number as yet, still awaiting a call back. This is not acceptable, as I said earlier, I've been a customer since telewest came to Croydon, then blueyonder took over, then virgin media. 25yrs. That's some serious money you've had from me.

  • DanielF83708395 Daniel Fuller (@DanielF83708395) reported

    @virginmedia Multiple times and no, it doesn't work. It's a hub 3. It's awful.

  • Lucksk1 michael Briggs (@Lucksk1) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately I don’t think so as they did not Realy understand the issue

  • unders1989 hsacsrednu (@unders1989) reported

    @virginmedia Phoned up. Automated service checked connectivity. No connection. There is a wire and hardwire issue but have no way of letting you know. Flashing green light. Need an engineer

  • MeltedBanana Bnt Chvn (@MeltedBanana) reported

    @virginmedia Already done, no answer or follow up on it. Still not enough. Disappointed. Continue like that and you gonna lose a customer.

  • MrRumpy Mr Rumpy (@MrRumpy) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken with your customer care and been informed the pre-install work didn’t happen as promised. So my install which was already delayed by 9 weeks will be rebooked… is this normal? Honestly the worst customer experience I’ve ever had

  • markccfc70 Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  • TomDacascos Tom Dacascos (@TomDacascos) reported

    @virginmedia please could you tell me the cancellations number as the one online is no longer in service
