@virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

@virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

@virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

@virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

@virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

@virginmedia are such scum bags man 😞 I had to get passed from pilar to post all afternoon yesterday only for them to tell me that no managers were available to help me and that I’d get a callback within 3 days. They called for ONE RING today then hung up.

@virginmedia and so it continues I get a hub 3 and the signal around my home is worse than my old hub. I request boosters to be told I have to pay for them. Surely this is joke I need boosters because the kit I already pay for sent by you is not up to standard

@virginmedia awful customer service received. Called 5times given differing info every time. We're now left without internet, without apology and no compensation for the incompetence. We are unable to cancel without being charged, and it's your issue. Really terrible experience.

@virginmedia Just the bottom one - is that right? No Wi-Fi light? It might be working now but the TiVo box is advising it’s a weak signal even though it’s plugged in with an Ethernet cable.
