@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 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/

@_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

@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.

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.

@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

@virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

@virginmedia Nope other than to hard tester my router and nothing has changed it still cuts out it’s ridiculous it’s not just me it’s happening to aswell. You will be losing a customer from this £60 a month is not on for it to keep cutting out

Will Vieri
(@VieriTweets) reported
@virginmedia Yes, one you’ve moved three times. The problem here is no one seems to know why, you move the pre install date daily, and then two days before you cancel my install and push back by 2 weeks. Really need someone to break the cycle here.

@virginmedia ... cont'd. I am unable to register for service credits as my app says there is no issue. Can you help ensure I am compensated for this huge inconvenience please.

(@debs3simmo) reported
@virginmedia Yes….no problems in our area! Done this dance before though! Without anyone changing anything or doing anything the signal strength has gone from 40% to 70%.surely that indicates its an incoming signal problem not anything in this household?

@virginmedia This isn’t regarding a complaint. This is regarding the various matters relating to the service that was supposed to be installed on the 7th of JULY. I have spoken to multiple different people and have to explain each time. I was promised a call back - no where. Please advise

Will Hogg
(@wilddoghogg) reported
@virginmedia Yes please do. Getting through to support on the phone is not the easiest thing to do, so I suspect people are struggling on that front. Please raise as an outage asap and let me know an update

@vmbusiness don’t go anywhere near these guys. Once they’ve signed you up the don’t care about fixing problems. If you were my business and without internet for 3 months ..would you think this was acceptable
