    @virginmedia I have already been onto VM chat and they are the ones who told me the new date and that no router has been ordered. Phone and online chat have been no help! Hoping these tweets put off potential new customers!

    @virginmedia No advice at all! There is a network issue in the area, was initially told would be sorted early/mid Nov, now told Dec 6th. Completely misled by call centre who said new router would be sent out and now no history of order placed! Waiting to see refund on bill, no sign yet!

  • Focus_W999 Chris O (@Focus_W999) reported from Manchester, England

    @kdkilbane77 Thought you were going to replace Stephen Rochford but you turned it down for a massive paycheck at @virginmedia 😂

  • FayaadhB Fayaadh (@FayaadhB) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I'm aware of why. But it's been 2 months since the issue started still no where near of finding a resolution. Your team like to run in circles

  • jalized Jalize (@jalized) reported

    @nmklpjklftmch @virginmedia They NEVER update their website

  • Fizzypalmer Fiona Palmer (@Fizzypalmer) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve called FIVE times to activate my new Wi-Fi. Everytime I’m told “turn in off and on again” and still no internet - so disappointed as a new customer!

  • knife_or_fork KnifeOrFork (@knife_or_fork) reported

    @Banished2Live @virginmedia Make them get it collected. They have enough vans on the road. They sent me something by mistake once and then threatened to fine me if I didn't take it to the post office...even after I explained my mobility issues. Eventually they got an engineer to pick it up.

  • TheHobbitKye Kye (@TheHobbitKye) reported

    @virginmedia is the service down in SE21??

  • DangerMediaUK David Marsh (@DangerMediaUK) reported

    @virginmedia My father is in hospital and cannot speak for himself at present. All I am trying to do is get him registered for the Virgin TV Go app so he can watch the service he is paying for, but this seems beyond your capabilities as your system doesn't recognise his details

  • loganberryknows Loganberry (@loganberryknows) reported

    @virginmedia had you out already to fix a box with the amber light of doom. Resolve was short lived and have not been able to watch tv for 3 months... Only signed up 6 months ago. Don't want another engineer out to do a temp fix on am obviously faulty box. How do I get a new one?

  • katej1984 Kate J (@katej1984) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could hire call centre staff that don’t hang up the phone after 3 seconds in an attempt to bring their AHT down?

  • Kyle1uk Kyle (@Kyle1uk) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I have been told that they have opened a complaint and closed the complaint however it is now assigned to a manager and to be assured that someone will get back to me. You are asking me to pay £100 for a fault hub that was returned AND REPLACED years ago.

  • robinlustig Robin Lustig (@robinlustig) reported

    Proud to say I have successfully cancelled a @VirginMedia contract, which is notoriously difficult to do. You can't do it by email and they never answer their phones. Hint: write a letter, buy a stamp and drop it in a postbox. Retro wins every time.

  • TFTP_Tunde Tunde (@TFTP_Tunde) reported

    @lawkas @virginmedia Yeah will definitely need to call again. We've not had a three week period of consistent service recently
