  • meribelman Peter Williams (@meribelman) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia I would happily self serve online, via a browser or app, as you incessantly encourage me to do, but when the page says “oops something went wrong, we’re unable to change your package online”, its very frustrating. @O2 will help you soon!

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Tried Virgin Community. Virgin rep encouraged me to take up tech package at a price. After spending 6hrs yesterday and 2hrs the day before, I am still in the same situation! This not a good service with your so-called experts!!!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Thank you Virgin Media for being absolutely useless sorting my email problem. 8 hours in total on the phone with so called tech experts and still doesn’t work properly!!!🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia your customer support is absolutely crap!! Spoke to Salim who was just as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle!!

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia That status page states there are no issues, the issues are apparently the walls in my house and my neighbours electrics even though it's been fine for the last 18 months

  • James76clark James Clark (@James76clark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Having text the number you gave me, they referred me back to the technical phone number as they cannot help! So, let’s get back on the phone for the 3rd hour, in the hope I don’t get cut off, again! #shambles

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported

    @virginmedia I got a text from you about works in the NE4 area that may interrupt my services, claiming they will be back by 6pm, at the earliest. That means I am going to miss a programme on a cable channel at 4pm :-( Any further details?
