@virginmedia Look I've had two days of total crap from you guys. I just don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. You've took money off me wen u shouldn't. Because of covid I'm on less money so an extra 26 quid is massive to us,but all your guys keep doing is fobbing us off. 😠

Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

@InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

@virginmedia Eventually but the issue had taken 4 days to resolve which is shocking. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever come across #virginmedia

@virginmedia I am actually so disgusted with your customer service for our WiFi that I have no words. How many times do I need to contact you? I’ve been a customer for 22 years and I’ve never experienced such a bad service #sortitout #virginmedia

@virginmedia why is it so hard to get in contact with you? I can’t start a live chat and when I ring and think I’m getting some progress you tell me to look online and hang up????

Ok so, virgin media router kinda sucks, if I use the Bt SmartHub 2, it would basically just be a Wi-fi access point, so would need a like a rpi for dhcp Or I could just buy a google nest Wi-fi or something ubiquiti

@virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

@virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

@virginmedia Who knows but certain people with in your team have been very flippant about our situation and trying to palm us off with a 20pound credit. This is nowhere near acceptable considering the stress and upset your so called customer service team has put us through.

@virginmedia I’m sorry I thought it explained it all. I’m trying to redoing after my 30 days notice to cancel and now without service at address, as required by the statement on your website. Would have renewed but the call came from a mobile number with an agent with an accent, dodgy perhaps

Help required, techy Twitter friends. Seemed I switched off the Internet plug at the wall while I was away and now can't reconnect to @virginmedia on any devices. What am I doing wrong? Phone says no IP address, laptop says no Internet....

@virginmedia Apologies are worthless. You claimed to have fixed the fault but didn’t actually ask if my service was working. It wasn’t.

@virginmedia is there a TV software issue. Been away and turned box and TV back on at mains. Gone into a loop of software install that I can't seem to get out of.

@OmbudServices When someone gives 30 days notice to cancel their broadband, is it legal for the provider to arbitrarily cancel the cancellation to try to sell you a lesser deal than the one you're after, or have you pay for another month's service? @virginmedia seem to think so.

@virginmedia why is it impossible to get any help with ongoing faults? I pay for 500meg but only get 124 average. Three calls and a promises of a call back each time which never happens. Time to move to bt.
