    @virginmedia Done all this and your automated telephone support even diagnosed a fault and restarted the router.

  • adamxgardner Adam Gardner⚡ (@adamxgardner) reported from Llanyrafon, Wales

    @virginmedia why have you sent two random people to my street today, cold call and come in my property due to internet issues and NOW MY INTERNET DOESNT WORK. WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT.

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia We had a 6 day internet outage at the end of July. I’ve just got the bill for next month and there are no credits on it to account for the outage - we’re still being charged the same amount.

  • adamxgardner Adam Gardner⚡ (@adamxgardner) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia It says there are no known issues with my broadband

  • RhysThomas1991 Rhys 'Trev' Thomas (@RhysThomas1991) reported from Alway, Wales

    @virginmedia 20 minutes on hold and nobody picked up yet. All we want to do is cancel our broadband as you keep raising the price #jokers @richardbranson

  • KieranPolls Kieran (@KieranPolls) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Nice going, @virginmedia - called to check how my complaint and SAR are progressing as they were requested on Thursday and I didn’t get the same day call back promised by the TM. Called back today to find 1. Complaint not set up. 2. SAR not submitted. AND....

  • Chasmeister Chas D (@Chasmeister) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @HeyRachieface @virginmedia It really is piss poor. I even get tv interference thrown in for good measure 😒

  • KieranPolls Kieran (@KieranPolls) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia 20 minutes waiting to escalate a complaint that wasn’t even set up just to get talked over and cut off. No basic understanding of GDPR it seems as my SAR wasn’t actioned.

  • morganlowry3 Morgan Lowry (@morganlowry3) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia Our tele has no signal, had problems with it for a few weeks. Some channels just have an error message of ‘no signal’ and others are pixelated so badly that you can’t see the programme at all 😩

  • sumz88 Craig Summerfield (@sumz88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Going through the standard procedure of virgin media putting my bill up by 50%, awful service trying to discuss options and refusing to log my complaint when I’ve asked more than once @virginmedia I’m sick to death of this genuinely..#virginmedia #awfulservice

  • jamcole88 🇬🇧Jamie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@jamcole88) reported from Panteg, Wales

    @virginmedia Your just as bad as sky lol

  • sumz88 Craig Summerfield (@sumz88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So many examples of virgin media’s poor service especially to existing customers #virginmedia @virginmedia #badcompany #noloyalty

  • storrmin571 Nörm•i•am (@storrmin571) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia signal dropping out from broadband all week. Makes you realise how good @bt_uk are.

  • AChinnick90 Andrew Chinnick (@AChinnick90) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RSpencer100 @virginmedia @SkyUK Absolutely awful @virginmedia. I’ll be following you to @SkyUK as soon as my contract ends!

  • wingnut1927 Mark Letman (@wingnut1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve just contacted your technical support and was put on hold for an hour and 3 minutes and then you cut me off. Fuming!! 😡😡

  • KieranPolls Kieran (@KieranPolls) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Actually, I’m done. Issues resolved but if this is how good your customer service journey gets, I’m cancelling my services.

  • K_J_Wheeler kevin wheeler (@K_J_Wheeler) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

  • seldnfoodie Erik (@seldnfoodie) reported

    Another day and @virginmedia broadband is down in #SE5 - don't bother checking the status on their website, it's "under construction." 1st world country, 3rd world infrastructure and service #badservice

  • SammyJoBody Sammy Body (@SammyJoBody) reported

    @virginmedia @hcarter_history We are also down in SE5, no internet access across all devices.

  • ChrisHammy67 Hammy67 (@ChrisHammy67) reported

    @virginmedia Been trying to get through to you for THREE days - just hung on again for 23 minutes, someone went to pick up and then dropped the call! Tried Chat line - over half an hour - no response. The most disgraceful customer service response I’ve ever come across!

  • CollegeJocks CollegeJocks (@CollegeJocks) reported

    @virginmedia I’m 28 minutes into a call I’ve had 4 engineers visit and nobody can fix the issues I’m having .

  • hcarter_history Hannah Carter (@hcarter_history) reported
