  • MarkDav96152735 Mark Davis (@MarkDav96152735) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

    When you work from home you rely on the internet coverage from your supplier. Mine has gone down this morning with expected fix at 3pm. No prior warning from @virginmedia SHITE!!!!!

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

    @virginmedia Yeah I’ve done that and same issues

  • 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 😡

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

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

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • abbiet126 Abbie Thompson (@abbiet126) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia why is WiFi down for the fourth time this week whilst the app says service is fine? I know it’s not just my box.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 👍

  • 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

  • YilmazKml 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.

  • Veronica_Cino Véronica (@Veronica_Cino) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia You guys are the worst literally, your replies are so slow!

  • Veronica_Cino Véronica (@Veronica_Cino) reported from Swansea, Wales

  • TheFifthDoctor Brian (@TheFifthDoctor) reported

    @virginmedia down yet again. Service is so ridiculously unreliable. Yet they want to *increase* prices??

  • Evil_Malteser Antony Agius (@Evil_Malteser) reported

    @virginmedia I HAVE CALLED.......my advice would be as a business you honour your promises. It appears that the useless level of service extends to Twitter as well. I give up!!! 😡

  • jenniseex Jenni Seex (@jenniseex) reported

    So despite @virginmedia staff dishonesty telling me I would not be able to get @bt_uk installed before April because “we are in a national lockdown” - the @WeAreOpenreach engineer attended yesterday - professional, polite and helpful and we are all up and running. Great service.

  • damogough Damon (@damogough) reported

    Virgin Media going down on my second day in uni, online courses are ******* bullshit

  • mattgates22 Matt Gates (@mattgates22) reported

    Rubbish service from @virginmedia today. First call cut off. Second call put through to silence. And still I can’t get this the device onto the WiFi. #DNS problem

  • WatsomCR Caroline Watson (@WatsomCR) reported

    @virginmedia so disappointed about the 13% price increase being blanket applied. Automated service says £3.50 can be delayed then customer services say it can’t be. So confusing and misleading.

  • kkgorny1972 kevin (@kkgorny1972) reported

    @virginmedia Did you type that with a strait face? If your greedy employers know it's such a bad year for everyone, don't raise it at all until 2023, give millions a break . Sad reply

  • saokiwi scott osborne (@saokiwi) reported

    @virginmedia Worst ever customer service. I want to leave but phone queue is 1 hour. Chat bot has a topic "cancel service" but bot says it can't and says call. Made a complaint on the 28th Jan, no response. Called 150 last week for retention, put on hold 41 min and charged £6+

  • NOVAIVLOUISE Nova Louise :) (@NOVAIVLOUISE) reported

    @virginmedia should of had 500 broadband from yesterday but not had anything about 38mps #help #itwasbetterbefore

  • gcanderson11 Gemsca (@gcanderson11) reported

    @virginmedia With no signal. No not really.
