@virginmedia That just repeats previous fault message. And ironically asks me to go to the website to check status. All I want at this point from @virginmedia is an estimate of when this will be fixed (I know u can’t fix it)

Bizarre help bot from @virginmedia - do you really think it's acceptable to ask for my bank account sort code when verifying my details?! How about you... just don't ask that.

@Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

@benchappers83 @virginmedia Unacceptable! Fight them, this can’t be right. They can’t do whatever they please. Change provider if your rights as customer are not respected.

@virginmedia @nikkijcar Answer me for god sake! Do you think maybe when your existing customers are using your “moving home” service they might be busy oh I don’t know... moving home? So don’t have time to wait around for your engineer 90 minutes after their appointment?

First morning back at work, and true to form #virginmedia have underlined their uselessness with no broadband in NW5. They want to increase prices, yet do not provide a decent service - how am I meant to #workfromhome ?

@virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. I spoke to Ezra on your team who was brilliant in fairness. Very apologetic about the level of service and now looks like we need planning permission to dig up the road to fix the cable.🥴 Thanks for your responses and happy new year!

Does anyone know of a service worse than @virginmedia? Our home phone went down 5 weeks ago and we were promised an engineer in 10 days, yet still no one has come. I have tried ringing the customer help number a number of times but after about 1 hour 15 mins it rings off. Help!

@virginmedia Thank you for your reply. We had a technician out over 5 weeks ago to check the landline. He told us the cable in the road was damaged and it would take 10 days to fix. That was nearly 6 weeks ago and we have heard nothing since and can’t get through to your customer services.

@virginmedia our cable doesn’t fit as it should (we were told an easy installation and just the box is required), and my partner is getting no response from anyone to help...? Just moved into a new flat with no wifi now so not ideal

@virginmedia any idea on what is happening in the Kingston Upon Thames area or how long it’ll take to resolve? Impossible to WFH right now. Previous issues with your service makes me worried!

@virginmedia I've called 4-5 times. The only time I get though is when I select the option to upgrade my services 🤔 Strangely not at home to people wanting to cancel.

@virginmedia your customer process to report a deceased account holder to cancel services is an absolute shambles, been on hold for 2 hours, no links on your website to do it. Thank god I’m with @SkyUK

@virginmedia usually your customer service is quality, why has it taken an hour. YES AN HOUR for anyone to even register my call about having no #broadband wifi at home when there’s a #lockdown2021 Kindly respond.

@virginmedia does the modem in the old superhub 2 support 500Mbps speeds? I'm in modem only mode on my SH3 but wonder if the modem might be the reason for the 1-5% packetloss and terrible upload speeds I regularly see. Should I try out the SH2 and see if that is better?

(@PurpleGibbon) reported
@virginmedia For the third day in a row my internet has been intermittently down for hours, others in my area with the same issue yet you continue to not show a fault on the website. I have run all the tests, reset my hub and I’m trying to work from home, help please?

@virginmedia @VirginMediaIE So I'm without enough upload speed to maintain video over the weekend. Whatever about streaming, my issue is that now I'm not going to get to spend decent time with my son in England.

@camelot_x @virginmedia I've spoken to one of the team who actually made the tablets directly now (vm still no help) and they confirmed it's a known issue, but the software team need to deal with it unfortunately not him, it seems SOMEONE is doing some tests, but not very helpful giving updates.

(@HappyMattTastic) reported
@virginmedia He did speak to someone & they said the microwave was the problem. Not the service you provide. Not saying that's true as I can be right next to the router & not be able to stream anything sometimes but fobbing off seems to be high on the phone call help team
