@virginmedia I need some technical help as my equipment is faulty. Tried all the resets and followed advise but box keeps going into standby. Also not been loading any tv planner or what’s up next for weeks. The box is over 7 years old. Think a technician would be helpful

AWFUL SERVICE. Wrote to @virginmedia about my mobile; no response so rang 789 who cut me off 3 times as they couldn't put me through to that office in Swansea. Direct number online was wrong. On 4th call logged complaint; they to ring me back in 3 days. Not holding my breath.

@virginmedia No advice at all! There is a network issue in the area, was initially told would be sorted early/mid Nov, now told Dec 6th. Completely misled by call centre who said new router would be sent out and now no history of order placed! Waiting to see refund on bill, no sign yet!

@DebbyLewinton1 @virginmedia Same here in North Manchester. Been intermittent since 5 December, fix tomorrow apparently. Of course they don’t communicate directly to you, only found that out by ringing them. Had enough, moving to Sky in new year.

@virginmedia I have already been onto VM chat and they are the ones who told me the new date and that no router has been ordered. Phone and online chat have been no help! Hoping these tweets put off potential new customers!

@virginmedia Nope. I have username already selected to my email address, password filled in on both fields, security question drop down selected and answer given in the field, and date of birth drop downs all selected. There’s nothing else I can select or that hadn’t been filled in now.

@virginmedia disappointed to say the least. Customer for 5 years, out of contract, bill is £120 a month, Phone up to renew and negotiate, no offers. Despite Amazon being a new competitor for sports and the mobile experience being infinitely better with them. Package cancelled.

@virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

@virginmedia Yes it was a known issue but you didn’t admit it, the recorded massage was changed twice a day to say it would be fixed by 3pm then 9am the next day when people that had spent 2 hours on the phone to speak to an actual person had been told it would be down all week

@virginmedia It says it all the time that there is no issues in the area which i find hard to believe as the internet is terrible at times. I have wifi boosters to which cut out also ideally need an engineer to sort these issues out.

@virginmedia The issue wasn’t with my connection, it was with your service for the pay per view fight, which meant I missed every fight other than the main event. How do I apply for a refund?

@virginmedia I was not a subscriber to the event last night but often have similar issues with other channels/tv shows/recordings. Is it worth calling customer service to try and get this issue resolved?

@virginmedia Hope you apologise to your significant other better than that. My point is the first half of your tweet is making claims that the problem wasn't as bad as it was. The issue persisted most of the night. Adding "we apologise" on end isn't an apology really is it.
