@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

@virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

@virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

I feel like the fact the @virginmedia speed test can't load because the Internet is so slow is a pretty good speed test

Flame, flames, flames on the side of my face.
(@lemonfreshrob) reported
Regularly called and texted by @virginmedia suddenly. Only since I've cancelled my contract, of course. The support staff I speak to are lovely, but are never going to win me back. Maybe if their complaints people had listened to me in the first place things would be different.

Wow, @virginmedia - I just had not one but two representatives yell at me and then hang up on me after I called to try to open a new mobile account. Horrific customer service and terrible for your brand. I will now be looking to terminate my other services with you.

@virginmedia Yes there is no issue with service it’s the TiVo box that’s not working it seems so I have booked a technician for Monday but that’s too late . I am expecting a quicker resolution

@virginmedia I suspect the reply is in hiding like your management team!!!! We received the open notification. As per previous, ROTTEN customer service which is being very very generous. Expletives would better describe how bad it is.
