  • George2Rachel Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia After being on hold for over 50 minutes I had to end the call. I’m literally back to square one. That’s the problem.

  • LucyMazuma Lucy Cohen (@LucyMazuma) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Are there problems in the Swansea area? Internet has been dropping out periodically for the last 2 days.

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

  • CLlewellyn19 Chris Llewellyn (@CLlewellyn19) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Got through to someone this morning. A new box is needed and a technician booked for Tuesday. Any chance you can contact my mate @wrighty1313 he’s been having issues too 👍

  • Dex_Fitz 𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia No they have not. If they had done what they’ve advised they’d done, the complaint should be linked to my account? Surely?

  • IROJDP Jonathan🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@IROJDP) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour and twenty mins with my 90yo dad to try to solve a C130 connection problem. And still no answer. Absolute shambles customer service

  • Dex_Fitz 𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve detailed that I have been lied to and expressed strong dissatisfaction with your customer service and your reply is to check if there are any issues in my area? Like I said, I’ll await a manager to call (if that actually happens) and add this to the complaint. Really poor.

  • Dex_Fitz 𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia So you’re telling me that because 3 separate members of your staff have lied and not raised a complaint when I’ve asked, I now need to send you a letter? Are you joking? #VirginMedia

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia TBH I’ve restarted the WiFi as per your tips online but the performance is really poor.

  • CLlewellyn19 Chris Llewellyn (@CLlewellyn19) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Is there anyone working tonight? My box is not working and is stuck on the starting up page. Been like it for about 3 hours. Waited on the phone for an hour then got cut off, been waiting for another 2 hours 😡

  • TheBenWoodcock Benjamin Woodcock (@TheBenWoodcock) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia im getting really annoyed with your mobile service as I cannot receive any automated text messages (which makes 2FA for some stuff impossible). This is an ongoing issue. Also unable to get through to 150

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it’s says there are no issues. It’s frustrating as I’m working from home and continues to drop or go off.

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Hey I’ve done everything on your website and still the same issues.

  • RobbieP99625428 Robbie Phillips (@RobbieP99625428) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    Virgin Media nightmare to get advice and problems sorted

  • TheBenWoodcock Benjamin Woodcock (@TheBenWoodcock) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia a lot of good your mobile service is when I cant call 111 from my phone

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia why am I buying for you when your broadband service continues to disconnect?! #complaint 😡

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Absolutely awful considering the service provided by your company is terrible, I’m still waiting for a response to my complaint!

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yeah I’ve done that and same issues

  • George2Rachel Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia Problems are still@ongoing. Still unable to contact via phone to order a new router.

  • Dex_Fitz 𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrSimonHedley Si (@MrSimonHedley) reported

    @virginmedia Yet again, I've been promised it is raised as a work order that will be resolved within 5 days. But with previous calls and how long it has been going on, I have no faith. My next call will be to cancel and get my money back that I've paid if its not resolved!

  • alibell1973 Alison Bell (@alibell1973) reported

    @virginmedia OMG service has been shocking for the last 2 days. On Off On Off! TV, Broadband and phone. shocking!!

  • Joniah_ YT: Josh & Joy (@Joniah_) reported

    I wouldn’t wish virgin media wifi on my worst enemy

  • ads8712 Adam Bailey (@ads8712) reported

    @virginmedia imagine setting up an account with e-billing and then receiving a paper bill that you've charged for. 🙄 Imagine taking 2 months to set up an account.. imagine sending personal customer information to a random email.. only at virgin media.

  • ChrisFirstDates Chris (@ChrisFirstDates) reported

    Virgin Media , client service is the worst I’ve ever encountered ! They lie to you about what’s included in your deal, #Virginmedia should be ashamed of themselves, loyal customer for over 10 years!!! Ripping off customers in their 70’s in a pandemic just unbelievable!

  • datamaps datamaps (@datamaps) reported

    @virginmedia I'm a VM customer for years, and I upgraded by phone with your customer service. And as I said, I've had 100+ speed for a while. I guess you make people believe until the cancel window finishes? My 4G speed before with you was higher than current 5G, pathetic

  • KikkuMaini Kikku Maini (@KikkuMaini) reported

    @virginmedia virgin media business customer service beyond joke. Ordered broadband for 2 additional rental properties on the 27th of May, told 10 days for routers, 26 days later, no sign of routers and no updates from your account team despite chasing and putting in a complaint.

  • S_MLYNX Stephen M (@S_MLYNX) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband has now gone down 5 times today since the self-proclaimed "top tech in the area" fixed it, he's somehow managed to make it worse. We're paying £92 a month for this, it's a joke

  • underwood_kate Kate Williams (@underwood_kate) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried to contact your team through the text service and after going through questions, I was on hold for nearly 45 minutes waiting to speak to an operator. This is not good enough and means I will have to try again tomorrow. Poor customer service and lots of time wasted

  • therichyhughes Racky Balboa (@therichyhughes) reported

    Hey @virginmedia any chance of a service where we can get help rather than a terrible phone service where I have to wait on hold for half an hour to constantly run through the same tests on my broadband only to be fobbed off and the fault left unresolved?
