    @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

    @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

    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

    Wifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home

    @bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

  • 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

    @virginmedia we got a new upgraded hub. The only WIFI name is showing for new devices which have never connected to the WiFi before and when using new password it says it’s wrong and unable to connect? No extenders from old device or anything. Help please!

    You're stronger than me. I got Virgin media down to £18 when I threatened to leave. I took their offer. and now it's gone up to £24 quid 2 years later and no doubt will go up again next year 😞

    Day 22 without @virginmedia broadband, with still no explanation of why it’s taking so long to fix the outage in my area. It’s also the 4th date they’ve said it will be fixed by this pm. On the other 3 I’ve had a lunchtime message to say it will be 1 more week. Let’s see today..
