Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-

-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

-
Si (@Si_67) reported@virginmedia Our broadband has recently started to fail on a daily basis. It has been fairly reliable until a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it comes back after a while, but this really isn't good enough in 2026, especially bearing in mind how much it costs. What's happening?

LK 🏴☠️🚩 (@LK_Yanited) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Had to move away from them last year absolute joke of a company. Constantly lying about their speeds, work always seemed to be happening affecting the network and the yearly price rises were eye watering. Their customer service is also laughable to top it off
