    @virginmedia Okay let me start from the beginning and just read everything I say and then give me a solution. I tried watching on my Mac last night. It kept telling me to register my device so I did. And now it’s saying there’s max devices registered and won’t let me watch anything

    @virginmedia Don't really want to waste another hour of my life calling back yet again! Already wasted 2 hrs was given a 'direct" number which no-one answered. Call centre can't help or understand problem. What is the point? Do U get reimbursement for all the inconvenience @virginmedia ?

    @virginmedia No it didn’t, just said hub may need software upgrade. I’ve logged the complaint on the system.

  • MandyNffc
    Mandy Thorpe (@MandyNffc) reported

    @virginmedia No it doesn't. It was changed on the account when I married. It was with NTL then. I never had this problem until now.

  • adamsamson
    Adam Samson (@adamsamson) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, my Hub 3 seems to be totally broken. No internet, non responsive to hard reset, does not assign IP when plugged in via Ethernet. Have appointment scheduled for Saturday but wondered if possible to send replacement sooner since it isn’t a connection issue.

  • bettydol01
    Elizabeth Doleman (@bettydol01) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Your company is a joke. You don’t want everyone to be connected as you can’t organise your company to install your services! I have been waiting since August.. customer service dept is useless!

  • PaulaRoyden
    Paula Royden (@PaulaRoyden) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know where the service status page is?? My phone settings show that I’m connected to 2.4g but I’m paying for 5g I was told yesterday it was all connected and all sorted that was after 10 mins of the previous call both said different things?

  • ImogensFight
    ImogensCanavanFight (@ImogensFight) reported

    @virginmedia Well. The dongle is here and has a top speed of less than 1mbps. I've been on a call with disconnections for 40 minutes, they transfer me to tech support and I'm cut off. This is beyond a joke!!

    James Ford (@jamesford92) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone DM regarding my wifi I’ve been on hold for over an hour tried countless things on your website and it’s still not working correctly, please act quickly before I go on an armed rampage you are ruining my life.

    Baljeet Singh (@bsr1234) reported

    @virginmedia I placed an order with landline number to be ported from SKY. Despite making several contacts with @virginmedia since service activation on 27/10, I was told number porting will happen on 06/11 but it didn’t. Offshore call handlers do not even understand this issue

    This is just awful service and there is absolutely no one taking ownership of the problem. This is beyond ridiculous service rendered to a customer of your since 8 years. @virginmedia #Virginmedia
