@Bluhawk1875 @vmbusiness Hope not! Maddening thing is they were working next door to tidy up the awful cabling job they'd done when they replaced our cable, the guy rang his boss about what to do with the badly installed cable and was just told to cut it! No check to see if it was live!!!

@virginmedia Unbelievably poor service! My broadband and phone line cut off by your contractors without so much as a basic check that the cable was providing service. Now got to wait days for service to be restored.

@virginmedia I have reported it at about 11.45 this morning. Wasn't given a fault reference, told a ticket had been raised and I would get a message to my mobile from field support engineers but it might be days before anything can be done. Heard nothing yet. Also raised a complaint as this..

@virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

@virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

@SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

@virginmedia is a case of complete incompetence by your engineers. Complaint reference is COM103375838. Have had no contact. What you can do is find out why a manager authorised a live cable being cut and get the engineers back to reinstate my service.

@virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

@virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

@virginmedia It is a media issue, I sent off the documents over a month ago confirming new account holder , no reply or confirmation this has been actioned at all. Weeks on end trying to sort one issue that should be easy is unacceptable

@virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

Virgin media wifi is still down. Apparently they have been sending out an engineer for over 48 hours with no real communication. Terrible service, will be looking for another provider asap
