@virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

@NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Here she is again that glam Nan spouting bollocks that is instantly shot down by ordinary people who seem to actually know facts. She really needs to shut up or just read factual information instead of coming across as an incompetent muppet.

@virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

@virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

@virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

@virginmedia @Piethagoram How about maintaining free roaming charges then seeing as you've hiked the cost of using your service

@virginmedia No email access for 3 days now on the blueyonder access. All I get is "Oops, this page is broken." System says nothing is wrong. Terrible. I have done a check, and it says everything is working correctly on BBand/Telly. ??? Area 01.

@virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

@virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

@virginmedia Tried them all over 18 months. Short of moving the router, which imo will shift the issue from one room to another, there's not a lot else open to me according to your representatives. We work from home and my wife uses all her mobile data every month as a wifi hotspot

@virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

@virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

@nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

@MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

@AskNationwide Im sure you have a lame poem about not getting stressed despite you leaving us bereft of payments both in and out. I’ve been with you for years, recommended you, and yet today your response is worse than virgin media - the benchmark of **** service. #disgraceful

@virginmedia @oraclematt Oh dear what poor customer service @virginmedia surely your T&Cs need to be adjusted to take account of home moves to areas that YOU have not yet decided to provide a service to!

@virginmedia It affects the tv & often the internet. It’s usually in the EN1.2 & 3 areas mostly. VM need to up their game if they continue to charge for a overpriced poorly run service.

@virginmedia (PS and any refund or compensation depends on you recognising I am not getting a full service for 48 hours +. Your customer assistant says there's a problem, your website says nothing wrong...I wonder which the refund depends on?)
