    @virginmedia How do you send an engineer to my house to take away a hub that works and leaves me with a new one that hasn’t worked since he installed it? I was on the phone for 25 mins to customer services and got cut off at 7:30pm because the lines closed!

    May be a work round for some experiencing #virginmedia email issues this AM. Whilst I cannot access emails via any server/computer like yourselves, I can, strangely, via my phone (although could it be because its on the virgin network?) Worth a try?...

  • RichardGreenla1
    Richard Greenland (@RichardGreenla1) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia I'm told the engineer has closed the issue from his end and they will have to raise a level 2 again and will be in touch within 48 hours. Dies this mean the issue is still open?

    @virginmedia It was down for the whole of yesterday. Came back eventually in the evening but too late for my working day. Please can you tell us what the problem was. The service is really flaky and for the price you charge I would expect 99.9% reliability.

  • RichardGreenla1

    @virginmedia The engineer said he was unable to fix and said would escalate and she would get an update by 13.30 yesterday afternoon. No update was sent so she phoned today to be told the call had been closed

    Mum is shielded and home alone. Her landline stopped working, after 6 days @virginmedia came to fix. Engineer couldn't fix so said would escalate. Mum chased again today and calls been closed! So far cost £21 in calls. #virginmedia, is that how to treat vulnerable customers?

    @virginmedia Hi. What is going on with Broadband in SW9? Website no longer allows me to register loss of service, which has been awful for at least a week now. I’m having to spend a considerable amount of money on data so that I can continue doing my job. Please fix!

  • KaroAnderson
    Karolyne Anderson (@KaroAnderson) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia I pay over the odds (£67) for a crappy intermittent service and after your stupid engineer came yesterday, no service at all which means I have no TV this morning either! #ImDefinatelyLeavingVirginMedia

    Silverfinger (@theRealRayThomp) reported

    @DebbyHallett_LD @SueSuezep @virginmedia I ran an online connectivity test with Virgin Media recently and it picked up a fault. I was able to book an engineer visit at a time suitable for me and he put in a brand new router for me. My only issue with Virgin is the monthly cost, but it does cover very fast broadband.

    Promises Rust (@PromisesRust) reported

    @virginmedia Me: He said we can't use whatsapp again until he sends us a password to an address on the other side of the world that we don't live in any more. We said we will never receive it. He said, call back in 5 days when we receive it.

    @virginmedia You know I want to cancel. You can check current usage is zero, router is off, so you know I am not freeriding. I am trying to cancel. It should not be difficult. You have made it difficult. You know my intent is to cancel, that is clear. You know my intent is to pay final bill.
