@virginmedia @wendyjhunter It should be free anyway, if you're promising a service you're responsible for fixing any fault with it

@RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland Thanks for the advice both you and @ASBO_Allstar have said a similar thing so I guess it's a negotiation down in price with a new router to fix @virginmedia crap hardware.

@fittdr @virginmedia I'm hearing good things about @Plusnet on the customer service side, but it's the TiVo I'd miss, we are seriously considering @NOWTV broadband and TV as we already use them for sky movies but need to investigate if we (the wife) can watch @emmerdale and @LoveIsland 🤣🤣

Good grief.. First experience with @virginmedia was like pulling teeth. They'll need to sort their customer service out FAST before other providers catch up with speed 😂😂

@virginmedia Take this morning for example. You could have checked on previous interactions. But because you couldn’t be bothered, I’ve had to explain again. So. Take that as another example of how poor both your customer service team are and you, individually..

@virginmedia It was my partner who tried calling. She eventually got through but received no help at all. We’ve emailed Tom Mockeridge tonight so hopefully this will go through the executive complaints process

@virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

@RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland @ASBO_Allstar I'm on 350 which is great but the router let's it down, the old superhub2 had much better firmware and an easier UI.

@virginmedia Still on the phone. Just found out the eng that was supposed to come today to fixed the frayed cables outside was a no show. Also all my smart lights have stopped working meaning the local network (not broadband) has gone down. Finally you’ve agreed to issue a deadlock letter.

@virginmedia For days now I have been trying to sign in to my account to no avail, so let me say if you have not sorted this problem soon then I will NOT be paying you, I will NOT be contacting you and I will NOT be answering any calls from you. I'm sick and tired of this SHIT.

@virginmedia presenting barriers to cancelling after contract has expired! Appropriate notice provided. On hold for 40 minutes to get through told to call back! Barriers to cancelling, especially where a customer could be financially vulnerable is wrong! Great business practices

@TheTwelfthM4N @virginmedia It’s likely because the router they provide does not support the speed of broadband. Having the same issue.

@virginmedia I am seriously fed up of trying to get some help with my TiVo box. I need a new one fast. I have tried myself to fix it, you have sent it so many signals it’s probably dizzy. On demand and watch again just don’t work, so many sync problems.

@virginmedia It says restart your router and I can’t get through the automated system. There is still an issue, I assume I won’t have to pay this months bill as it’s below the minimum speeds?
