@virginmedia Again, @obscurenonsense has spoken to your engineers already. It is a recurring, known issue that has stopped us working from home effectively. I feel like you haven't read our tweets properly.

@Paul_667 @virginmedia Nope, not had that problem mate, the only problem is getting this phone line moved over, for such an easy task they do seem to be making it very VERY complicated.

@virginmedia Thanks. Though the annoying aircraft was that before Xmas we did a test which failed so got offered appt bit had to skip as away over Xmas. Back and still down (power light flashing green even after reset) and hub3 UI stats show no sync but test all ok

@virginmedia Hi - issue hasn’t resolved from reboot (didn’t appear to be an update). Also seeing very intermediate problems where programs freeze momentarily/blur (almost like on satellite when the weather gets in the way / when the hard drive was struggling to playback files)

@virginmedia So knows need to call just odd behaviour and was hoping you get appt sorted yesterday. What did the broadband test actually mean if ok. Implies your network kit can access router which seems unlikely

@virginmedia It just came off my bill but I rang and expressed that it should have been more and they would look into it but I’ve not had a response. You’re going to fob me off with intermittent service but perhaps you should have sent someone round to check but then you’d have to pay out l!

@virginmedia Your site is an absolute joke. I spent over 90 mins this morning trying to speak with someone but was passed about, I only want to change my package as the service you provide is not worth the £72 I'm paying! Now you've just told me the servers are down! #cross

@virginmedia As in the above tweets, @obscurenonsense has already been on the phone to your engineers for an hour. Our upload speed is close to zero, and there is a recurring network problem in our area. You have made working from home a complete nightmare.

@virginmedia family recently got your services and are having a sound issue which looking online is a problem that’s been around a while but I can find if you ever published a resolution - sound on V6 box cuts out intermittently for a moment in Dolby Ditial Audio programs

@virginmedia After a total of hour and 15 minutes on the phone, @obscurenonsense was finally told that there is a known network issue affecting both wired and wireless devices in our area (BN3). We have not been given a time frame for its resolution.

@virginmedia I don’t have the number as it was withheld. But it was to our landline that no one has! Offshore from a busy call centre in India I think. Claimed to be looking after the lines and said our router had multiple errors (it has been slow recently) so sounded legit...

@virginmedia Could not offer services at new address so contract cancelled-now telling me I owe £200 & will send bailiffs round-despite murmurous phone calls to get this sorted & raising an urgent complaint 6 wks ago. Have taken advice from @Ofcom and @CISASUK Utter disgrace.

@virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

@virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

@theTunnelBear is there an issue using your service on @virginmedia - first time using their internet and I can’t access your website and my bear won’t activate (HTTPS error is thrown rather than a direct blocking notification) think @ThreeUK are also blocking your website

@virginmedia I've tried rebooting it several times, and checked the cables are all secure although noone has been home all day so they've not been touched and it was working before I left but not working when we got home at 4.30pm

Gareth Williams
(@GazzaWilliams) reported
Apologies for the following rant. **** Virgin Media I’ve paid £33 quid for broadband only for the last 2 years. I go out of contract 1 day and the price goes up to £48 I call up to try renew it for another year and the best they can get it down to is £43.

Tony Gallagher
(@tgeducation) reported
@virginmedia Yes, and almost every time I have a problem the service check suggests everything is fine. The problem is occasions of intermittent connections. A week ago I did a factory reboot and it was fine for a while, then yesterday it became unstable again. Very, very frustrating.

Mick
(@CurfTheRed) reported
@virginmedia How can I get to speak to a human? You broadband faults keeps sending a signal to my router and rebooting which suggest there's a fault but nothing changes. It immediately cuts me off rather than ask. If the issue is resolved.

@virginmedia Yeah it's down in the se26 area and is being worked on. But we've had to reschedule, calls and normal work days. We're now eating into our mobile data.

@virginmedia Couple of hours on calls with 4 different people/depts (inc. retentions) last night, another this morning for more diagnostics, then retentions again, I finally have a new hub ordered. I'll be online eventually but the trouble/time to get there is unacceptable, to say the least.

(@annabel_leger) reported
@virginmedia Yes I've gone through this, the box will come on for 5 minutes or so and then will keep coming in and out, then doesn't work at all. It will work and then it won't etc.
