👹JGall👹 (@_JGall) reported from Swansea, Wales@MrsSusanAlder @virginmedia They're a nightmare but won't do anything to fix it now during the pandemic, but expect full payment it's a joke x
-
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 👍
-
Nett 🏴 (@NettThom) reported from Neath, WalesCustomer service is an alien concept to @virginmedia
-
Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.
-
lisa fabb #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦 (@fabblisa) reported from City and County of Swansea, Wales@virginmedia Still no resolution
-
Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

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
-
Neil Parry (@Ericsonnycon) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia There are no issues via your link
-
Nat (@DragonEmbers) reported from Swansea, WalesCan't take Virgin Media to my new address because the estate is too new and they don't have Virgin Media in those streets yet. First world problems 😂
-
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.
-
Alice Spils (@spilzzz) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia It’s a long standing issue which seems to be getting worse. The signal strength is just so so poor. I can’t use the WiFi upstairs most of the time 🙄
-
Ade Wagstaff Physio MACP 🏴 (@adewagstaff) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp I have. They were not great. I did explain that the voice options stated there was an issue. However, your email said it would have been sorted last week. You breached the 6 hour window and the 5 people I spoke to in Timbuktu didn't understand me all that well 🤦#poorservice
-
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 😡
-
Kamil Yılmaz (@YilmazKml) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia what is difficult about transferring my Internet to my new address? I have spoken to your agents umpteenth times, received confirmation that my request has been received, but still no internet service after nearly two weeks...this is really annoying.
-
G (@therealGDJ) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales@virginmedia abysmal service. I’ve spent almost 2 weeks trying to get through to speak to someone about the price increase you’re looking to force on me, despite that I’m meant to benefit from #MatesRates for life. Please pick up the phone!!!
-
Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales@virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.
-
G (@therealGDJ) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales@philhovestadt @virginmedia That is only half of the issue...
-
chris grindle (@chrissyg666) reported from Dunvant, Wales@virginmedia it's happening again...the #redbutton is not working #efl
-
Vanessa Walsh (@NessafromNeath) reported from Neath, WalesDisappointed to be leaving Virgin Media having been a loyal customer for many years. Poor customer service- they were more than happy to terminate our contract without caring to discuss options. Having waited an age to discuss options this was so disappointing! #virginmedia
-
Val (@Botleylady) reported from Swansea, WalesStill holding on the phone to @virginmedia after 1hr. 31mins 43secs. Absolutely disgusting service.

just me (@PHILROOKS) reported@virginmedia With respect I have done this, and you just come back saying you can't access my account or help as you're just the MEDIA TEAM. I'm sure you're here to just monitor the poor comments and look like you care, when you don't. Your CEO should be embarrassed and take responsibility
-

Rolland Law (@rolo852010) reported@virginmedia Can you not just reply on here and just explain ? There is nothing secret about this post there’s nothing to hide it’s a general question regarding the cool down period.
-
Alan Cripps (@cripps_alan) reported@virginmedia do you ever listen to to your own customer service recorded messages ? They are awful ! Totally unclear what we are expected to do to restart service ! . And why does your customer service team not start until 8am when they are based in India ? Makes no sense
