@MotoNutJob @virginmedia Should be that if your provider can’t fix the problem within 24hrs you should be allowed to terminate the contract at no cost to yourself & they must give you a Uk contact number because the Bombay warriors are F..kg useless at sorting a problem

@virginmedia No issues and my box has no issues after running a test, but it still loses connection regularly.

@virginmedia @wendyjhunter It should be free anyway, if you're promising a service you're responsible for fixing any fault with it

@virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

@virginmedia presenting barriers to cancelling after contract has expired! Appropriate notice provided. On hold for 40 minutes to get through told to call back! Barriers to cancelling, especially where a customer could be financially vulnerable is wrong! Great business practices

@virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

@virginmedia @virginmedia im getting really fed up with your poor customer service. You keep contacting me asking for you media box back since I cancelled my contract. You have failed to send me the special package to put it in, you have called me several times and passed me around, 1/2

@virginmedia Was a while back. We've reset before but never seems to make much difference. Can do so now though

(@Avenelle5) reported
@virginmedia No joy. Automated voice sent us to the test you advised. We've checked it 3 times. It just goes into a loop/repeat then cuts off. So, the automated voice said we'll get an engineer, but no advice how to as you get cut off. Say the hubs not connected, but it's clearly broken.

@virginmedia Both (wireless and wired) My area is down. Is there any way I can get compensated for the loss of service?
-

(@artisan68) reported
Why are @virginmedia unable to deduct the credit which they have been promising for the last three months? Each time, we're told it's in the offing, but it never materialises. Complaints procedure is useless

(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia DownDetector isn't accurate? But your status page that never reports issues that affect myself and people on my road using your service is perfectly accurate is it? Your status page that didn't even report a 3 day planned maintenance outage last year is accurate is it?

@virginmedia Wired is fine generally. The WiFi is fine in most parts of the house, there's just a couple of spots where I can't get a signal and one of them is our bedroom which gets pretty frustrating.

@virginmedia Doesn’t get me any internet now though does it. Why should I pay for a service that I’m not getting!

Ashley Sheridan
(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia Which brings us nicely to the other point. Why did I get 3 separate emails "advising" me how to best position my devices to get best wifi signal, when my *wired" computer had the problem as well? Your company line is to always blame the customer and never admit fault.

(@Avenelle5) reported
@virginmedia So, we need an engineer, tomorrow to fix this. But no way of speaking to anyone or arranging this. If it's not fixed by tomorrow evening we will be going elsewhere.
