    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

  • Welsh_Saint14
    Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

    @virginmedia Any good reason why the outstanding @CNN news is being withdrawn from the cable service. Very, very disappointing. I am sure that I am not alone. #News #Media

    @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

    Elisabeth (@misselisamartin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia are genuinely the worst broadband service, I've been left with no Internet or TV service since 2pm with no update to when it'll be back 🥴

    @virginmedia awful customer service

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

  • JamesMartin02

    @virginmedia I’m trying to end my contract with yourselves. Which is proving an impossible task When I PRESS 1 on the phone to get through to someone, the phone line goes dead? Appreciate any help.

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

  • GillibrandPeter

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

  • KeeleysMaldon
    Keeleys Lettings (@KeeleysMaldon) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I switched from Sky to Virgin, worst decision I ever made. All was fine until I renewed my contract, they overcharged me for services agreed and I even had it in black and white on a contract from them, multiple phone calls to India with no resolution. Buffers all the time too

  • andrewstevo39
    Drew Stevo (@andrewstevo39) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Yeh its a shame Sky dont reward loyal customer with cheaper TV and broadband. Fantastic offers for new customers but totally agree, loyalty should be rewarded

  • SunyaSutti
    UDI for The North 🐧 (@SunyaSutti) reported

    Why have @virginmedia cut off my broadband three days BEFORE I was supposed to cancel their shity service?

  • CameronScotece
    cameron scotece (@CameronScotece) reported

    @virginmedia again WiFi completely unusable and not fit for purpose , £76 a month for the worst connection I’ve ever seen - Nottingham

  • missjnyc1
    Jeanette (@missjnyc1) reported

    @virginmedia Spent an hour and half on the phone with your customer care team. They couldn’t tell me why they hadn’t turned up, no way of contacting them. Have booked another slot for tomorrow, the team wouldn’t even read the number I had just given them 2/3

  • PentorC32526
    pentor coley (@PentorC32526) reported

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_PRO_IPTV13 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • anspailpin
    An Spailpín Fánach (@anspailpin) reported

    @38086fd7be4a4e2 So I understand. It'll be interesting to see if they keep that up for the tournament. BTW, do you know if ITV do the dog much with ads? Virgin Media are savage for ads just before rugby games, for instane, and at half time. RTE are bad too, but not as bad. How are ITV?

  • fredbeare
    Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported

    Why is such a pain to contact @virginmedia to become a new customer, and even when you do the sales team don’t listen. Will just stick with BT not because they’re good, just because Virgin don’t listen

  • griffonline
    CG (@griffonline) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia That was to keep SkyQ. Virgin only had their streaming service with no record.

    @virginmedia your WiFi is terrible in the NE16 postcode. Can you have a look into it please?
