@virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

@virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

@virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

@virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

@virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

@jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

@virginmedia Might've helped if you looked at the tweet I replied to. I dealt with your crappy customer service a few months ago. It's my turn with O2 now.

@virginmedia So I pay more for the same package a new subscriber gets, even after 25 years of being a customer.

@ICooper @virginmedia @OpenreachHelp I really like VM. I’ve had maybe a couple of hours downtime in all the time I’ve been WFH and even when I’ve had issues, they’ve sent someone out first thing the next morning (no complete outage, but had an old outdoor connection that the engineer was quick to fix)

Let see if @virginmedia can rectify their mistake, of leaving an elderly vunreable person, without a phone line or emergency line for over 2 weeks. And, not tell them this would happen. #Shameful

@virginmedia The fact I can log into My Virgin Media, but not the email account which uses the same credentials, tells me it isn't an issue with my credentials. Even if I click "email" from within My Virgin Media, having logged in, I receive "your mailbox is not available at the moment"

@virginmedia (2/2) I changed the password regardless, which as expected, made no difference. The last time this happened I tried calling customer support and unfortunately they were beyond useless as usual. A quick search tells me plenty of other people are having the same issue today.

@virginmedia 3 times in two weeks after no issues ever with the address? And the issue is you send an email about it to the account that I can’t access due to you locking it - doh. As my device is an iPhone it doesn’t run anti virus and I’ve now changed pass three times

@O2 At that point it asks me to sign up to Virgin Media (desire already being a long standing customer)
