    @virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

    @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

    @richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

    @virginmedia I’m trying to end my contract with yourselves. Which is proving an impossible task When I PRESS 1 on the phone to get through to someone, the phone line goes dead? Appreciate any help.

    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

  • ChrisSwinglis
    Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

    @virginmedia I'm trying to login to my account but I'm being asked to register thru Virgin/02? Why is it doing this?

  • notjay92349724
    not jay (@notjay92349724) reported

    @FuzziePieRat @virginmedia Mate, we had exactly the same same thing. Tried to reduce packages down (we were paying £131 a MONTH at the time) and we were assured our package had changed and we were paying SIGNIFICANTLY less. Our bill came through, no change…

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, England

    You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @BertySi @virginmedia That's certainly the least they should be doing IMHO. This is a ridiculously long period of being unable to access their service @virginmedia, can this be organised as a matter of urgency? I have sent a DM as well

    Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @mandychoccy @virginmedia Sounds potentially like a comprehensive set of fixes. Ideal solution is to have a tech onsite when you have the problem. Easier said than done, though.

  • Gtmcdonald1996
    Glenn McDonald (@Gtmcdonald1996) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been in a live chat for nearly 2 hours with no joy on a resolution and I’ve also tried calling your number numerous times but can’t get through.

    @virginmedia when are you going to fix our broadband. We have been without broadband for 6 days now. My partner offers online psychotherapy support for people with blood cancers and has had to cancel appointments because of this.

    Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported

    @virginmedia @DjmarkieT Why do you always ask people to DM you? You will just say there is nothing you can do so call the call centre. Also why is your service so bad? You are genuinely the worst company I have ever dealt with!
