@michael_norbury @virginmedia Exactly the same issue here in Bournemouth. It said it would be fixed at 6pm and got an email saying it was fixed. It appears not to be fixed... I'm guessing it's not fixed. ☹

@virginmedia Unfortunately I am at work until 7 pm tomorrow. I have just spoken to technical support and have been told the reason for all the issues is that I have only 39% space left on HD. Your technical support team need to go for training

@virginmedia They did but they ended up making us go through the same steps that my friend had done last week then advised it may take 4 hours to fix, obviously they are very upset as we’re promised in last nights call that if there was a fault VM would replace the kit and this was refused

@virginmedia Tech Supoort were hopeless 1hr15min on phone with my friend tonight (which I had to sit through and take over because she was so frustrated) and they WONT replace the box - they say it’s fine, it really isn’t! Have asked for this to be escalated to a formal complaint

@virginmedia Thank you for “allowing me” the opportunity to raise a complaint, and I suppose I’ll have to ring you then. 😡 not happy, this service I’m receiving is dreadful.

@virginmedia Have got a scheduled call back from the agent tomorrow to try and get through quickly to technical and get someone there to authorise the box swap as it’s really upsetting them with the constant issues. Not convinced but will see what they say...

@virginmedia It's no worries; you have to update or fix things from time to time. All I know is that the internet and TV went down, your site said the problems would be fixed by 6pm and I signed up to be notified when it was sorted. The email came just after 6pm... Internet's still kapputt.

Yo @virginmedia you REALLY need to get @TwitterSupport to block and delete @virgrnimedia they are pretending to be VM support and DMing people who tweet you asking for details like credit card (full number, expiry, cvc) & address info - need to stop them! @actionfrauduk

@virginmedia At this rate I will be cancelling my service with virgin as it’s impossible to speak to anyone or get a problem resolved.

@virginmedia I am currently on hold speaking to customer services again this call is going on for nearly an hour. Most frustrating part is the inconsistency and having to start over every time we make contact.

@virginmedia Hi I have just checked and it’s still not working.

So there is a fault with my @virginmedia box and a fault in the area. Even though my fault is different to the one that’s already been reported they cannot help and I have to phone back in 48 hours. Asked what the fault is no one can actually tell me. Error code is different

@virginmedia @LaurenSTompkins Just jumping in - this related to the conversation we were having in the week. All the steps that both you and technical support provided have been followed but every call starts back at square one - probably easier to quit then join as a new customer than get it fixed!

@virginmedia It’s media, it’s endless problems with a TiVo box. We’ve spoken to customer service and technical support have done everything they require for all the intermittent problems.

@virginmedia Last advice I have following all their technical tests, restarting the box, watching the help videos etc, I’ve put in a complaint and they have phoned me but as I said specifically I cannot talk while I am at work and requested they phone after 5pm.

@virginmedia Only their name, as soon as “you” asked for such in depth info they took a 2nd look as they knew you wouldn’t ask that - when they told me I also reported to Twitter hoping the more reports the faster it’ll go down but I suspect complaint from you will be the most influential

@virginmedia Thanks - they tried to scam a friend of mine today who was trying to get help from you (they have now successfully been in contact with the real you :) )

@virginmedia If you look at my previous tweets this issue has been ongoing for over a year now and I think I should be due some form of compensation for this lack of service I have been paying for. Can a manager please call me to discuss this further on Friday as I’m not available until then.

@virginmedia I’m back! So i popped round to chat with my friend about their issues and together we called customer services to discuss - the best they offered was half hour wait to go over the technical faults for the 10000th time or £90 to sell her a new box....

@virginmedia I have a wired connection to my Xbox and a wireless connection to my iPhone and both are affected. I have just rebooted my hub twice and now WiFi ‘seems’ to be working. I would like an engineer to come to my house and swap my hub as I think it is the hub that is causing the issue

@virginmedia are there any known issues in the SS17 area? WiFi and wired has been showing near 0mb p/s for the past couple days

@virginmedia is there a problem with your broadband at the moment? Past few hours I have had anywhere between 0.4-1.2mbps download speed and 0.01mbps-0.8mbps upload speed, yet you keep telling me there's no fault and it must be all my devices

@virginmedia So I'm guessing a day later and u haven't looked into this issue? Not even getting the guaranteed speeds for download and it's been over a month which now means I can leave free of charge right?

(@ChrisSnap301) reported
What must it be like to pay for a broadband service and actually receive a broadband connection? As a @virginmedia customer I wouldn’t know. I pay for a broadband service and get nothing, pretty sure you must be breaching your contract with me. @GOVUK how is this legal?

@virginmedia why does your wifi go down every 30 minutes but the status in the app says it’s good???? This happens every night

Kids are in bed, better half working in the office, sit down with a cuppa to watch ‘a discovery of witches’ and the bloody virgin box is playing up. Sort it out @virginmedia

Well @virginmedia, I gave up. Left a message for Jemma who sold me the contract so I hope she does as I have asked and calls me tomorrow. NOT a good experience on day two of being a Virgin customer 🤦

@virginmedia I have phoned your team on multiple occasions ans found no one able to help. It has been 6 months since the credit amendment was ordered to be done not 45 days. It is a disgrace and I am still unable to get a decent mortgage.

@virginmedia absolutely fed upwith wifi dropping out. 5 times in the last hour it's dropped out and is back under a minute. Been on your support pages but no good. Reset router but not good. Happens every day!
