  • Ebike_holidays
    National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia We followed instructions to switch phones to fibre optic. Can dial out but can’t get calls. It’s really upset my mother in law as she is vulnerable and we are her emergency support. Our mobile signal is very poor at home, so she is frightened she can’t contact us.

  • shaunreeves
    Shaun Reeves (@shaunreeves) reported from Fradley and Streethay, England

    @virginmedia It appears to have been resolved. However it is rather alarming to hear members of our village had been told by your customer service team “the earliest fix would be 6th Jan 2021”.

    @leicscyberaware @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong The irony here is 3 random words can be broken in as little as 40 seconds, maximum 50 minutes. A 10 character random password, by comparison, would take 7 weeks with the same hardware.

  • Paul_Reviews
    Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported from Burntwood, England

    @SCwithGin @virginmedia @NCSC @troyhunt @ScottMcGready @PWTooStrong This isn't as bad as some would make out. 10 isn't ideal, but it's not insecure either. That's not to say you can't choose an insecure 10 character password however...

    @virginmedia a new low, even by your standards, 4th TiVo box in 18 months and this one managed 20 days before breaking down 👏👏👏

    @virginmedia please tell me how to contact your complaints department as I have an ongoing issue with your mobile department that’s been raised over the last 12 months and no one can help me! #poorcustomerservice #virginmobile #complaint #help

    Gemma Brayne (@Gemgwar) reported from Armitage with Handsacre, England

    @virginmedia really not impressed with your service. No idea what is going on and when I’m actually getting my broadband. Your team just keep lying to me and it’s frustrating!!

  • stuwin1
    Stuart Windle (@stuwin1) reported from Stenson Fields, England

    @virginmedia When I phoned the contact centre they said they knew there was an issue and it would be sorted in 24hrs. A quick google shows this isnt just me its a common trend

    Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    Well @virginmedia my TiVo box is stuck in starting up mode (2 hours) and needs a technician, not available until Tuesday. Piss poor service and your telephone manner leaves a lot to be desired. Waiting for you to get in touch 🤬

  • Neilelse1974
    Neil else (@Neilelse1974) reported from Chellaston, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer visit, meant to work from home but can’t due to your broadband. Have tried everything advised but nothing .. 1.35mb download please help !

  • 5tu1987
    Stuart Hurcombe (@5tu1987) reported from Armitage with Handsacre, England

    @Gemgwar @virginmedia Basically.. nobody knows what the process is! Told we had to wait in ALL DAY yesterday for nobody to come (when we apparently now it’s only a package being delivered) STILL! nobody is clear if it’s a package being delivered or an engineer. Shocking service for what we are paying!

    Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Lichfield, England

    I forgot that Virgin Media were future proofing their network in my area. Watching Wolfwalkers to pass the time...

  • timmo1963
    Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @BBCWatchdog can you help me with @virginmedia please. 4 faulty boxes in 18 months, overcharged for the package I have, they never answer the phone 🤬🤯

  • WieMenHo
    Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    Shocking telephone service @virginmedia - want to reduce my TV package. Don’t want movies or BT sports any more. Can’t tell me what package I would move on to. Whether I lose any other channels or even if I lose HD channels.

  • horseracingmama
    whatsitallabout!! (@horseracingmama) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia can’t wait till they read the feedback on the email survey they asked me to do they scored a massive 0 from me and no I would not recommend them and will never go back to them either!!

    @Benleo @virginmedia had a similar issue with sky a few years ago took them months to sort out a simple billing error

    @jomickane @Benleo Don't go with Virgin media Jo , the worst company ever.

    @Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I went to virgin from sky. I won’t be stopping. Terrible company

    @virginmedia There is no signal apparently there is a known issue in my postcode NE8 3JP

  • hatterscrypto
    Hatter (@hatterscrypto) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I can raise you. Try dealing with @ThreeUK . But I agree Virgin media have massively gone downhill in the customer service department.

  • Moonmanthrunner
    Moonman (@Moonmanthrunner) reported

    @virginmedia 4th day of no tv and none of the projected fix dates or times met. Compensation if and when fixed?

  • chris327759
    chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported

    @virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @Benleo I've been with @virginmedia for many years. Whole reason, is that in my road/area, their broadband in miles quicker than the 'Openreach' slow version. To be fair, it works well most of the time - but when it doesn't and you have to ring the Indian Tech Support; Oh dear it's grim!

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    Congrats to @virginmedia for being perhaps the WORST company I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with in Britain. Three engineer visits, five plus calls to Indian call centres, and still you can’t activate the TV contract you upsold me when I simply called to get my connection back. Awful, awful business model.

  • AndrewPittman2
    Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported

    @virginmedia @IanLythgoe4 We’ve been without TV for five days! Despite being told it would be sorted “ within 24 hours” on Saturday, now been told after a 30 minute phone call that no engineer available until next Saturday!! Shockingly bad service Virgin Media.
