@virginmedia Tried the chat everyday for the past 5 days and it is not working. Due to recent changes with someone at household moving out I do not need the landline anymore,and wanted to discuss my options as I do not want to pay monthly for a service I am not using

Thanks @virginmedia for renewing my contract for 12 months and then downgrading me and I loose all my HD channels! Your service is poor and unacceptable #virginmedia

@squelchuk @MingSwift @virginmedia We have a good box. That took long enough to get upgraded. I would try a superhub3… but I want a signal that gets around the house too, as well as reliability!

And once again we are unable to use our @virginmedia wifi. When I called customer services today they took nearly 10min to answer, asked the same basic questions repeatedly and then cut me off without even starting to resolve anything! Bloody useless. Issues since May 2018.

I’m sick of my internet going down for half a day every week. Should get something for the inconvenience. @virginmedia

@virginmedia No broadband service, apparently. Status checker says everything is fine, but I'm not convinced. Could I DM my postcode please.

@kinoshitajona @ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Agreed, neither are secure and should never be used... however it's certainly possible to make an unbreakable MD5 password.

@SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong This isn't as bad as some would make out. 10 isn't ideal, but it's not insecure either. That's not to say you can't choose an insecure 10 character password however...

@ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Because "secure" requires a context which neither the OP nor yourself have given. 99% of my passwords are 12 chars, A-Z, a-z, 0-9. They're not being broken in my lifetime... so to claim 10 is sufficient to justify leaving is daft.

@virginmedia No tried again and unable to send an engineer because the fault is not happening .. I did try to explain it's intermittent 😡😡but with the language barrier she couldn't understand .. I will try and cancel my account later because I'm not paying for a service that has issues

@MingSwift The TV service is great but if we can’t rely on our WiFi in a connected home, it’s not worth it. Have made a complaint. If they don’t offer an upgraded hub (which they’ve not before) and compensation/reduced bill (gone up by £14 since Sept), we’ll be gone. @virginmedia

@virginmedia Phone and TV down in B24 area, wondering if the power cut immediately before was due to work you’re doing.

@ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong I didn't say it was perfectly fine... but it's certainly possible to pick a secure 10 character PW within those constraints. I was a VM customer for 2 decades... I can't recall ever losing sleep over this.

@ScottMcGready @kinoshitajona @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong Scott, we use the term "unbreakable" in the trade to imply the credentials cannot be broken in a timeframe which realistically presents a risk to the user... it's not an OED term. Sure, if we're talking to an end-user, you either use a different term or explain the meaning

@ScottMcGready @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @PWTooStrong No, bash both :) As I said, it's a poor policy by comparison but I'd rather advise the user on how to choose a secure 10 character password than waste time preaching security to a social media staffer :)

@virginmedia Well whatever you've done, you've now taken down people who weren't having issues before. Around 5pm a whole bunch of us lost our Internet when we hadn't had problems all day.

@virginmedia Are you going to delay (cancel please) the move to VOIP and retain hard wired phones? Broadband is notoriously unreliable as today has proved, hard wired phones reliable.

@virginmedia It's really not good enough, especially with the amount we are paying monthly to you guys. And your customer care is absolutely non-existent aswell.

@virginmedia I've been on hold for now two hours over 4 calls because the call center keeps hanging up. I just want to use the backup 4g dongle you've provided as a backup for times like these yet seems to need activating. Or is that also down?
