@virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

@virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

@virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

@virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

I wonder if @virginmedia could tell me how, when I don’t have a dialling tone and thus can’t get a call out, how I can dial 150 to report the problem to them?

(@satayRL) reported
@virginmedia Yes used the connect app and tried WiFi trouble shooting. All im getting Is suggestions for a £5/m upgrade to WiFi pods. I however won't pay extra for a feature I was promised on sign up. It was literally the deciding factor for leaving sky, guaranteed speed in all rooms.

(@UnitedByApple) reported
@virginmedia No. Worse. No internet since 2345hrs last night and currently almost 8am. Estimated fix time was 4h30m ago. Only pay £67pm for this ‘service” too!!! Twice in 48 hours now extended down time. Not good enough.

(@TosinTweets) reported
@virginmedia Your engineers haven't attempted to replace the wall connection or potentially faulty hub. Would make sense for them to attempt that right? Is a forum chat to enlighten your engineer or show me how to fix a problem with virgin services? If virgin cannot fix it cancellation it is
