    @virginmedia I have had: -An upgrade -An engineer come and change the box outside my house -A brand new hub -New power line adapters -My connection tested on your end numerous times And yet the connection, 99 times out of 100, feels like total shit whenever I use anything intensive.

    @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 😡

    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 🙄

  • BottleShopDan
    Daniel Williams (@BottleShopDan) reported from Maesteg, Wales

    @WonderSpotCafe @vmbusiness We had exactly the same... forced into an upgrade..across our sites.. because they were no longer maintaining a package they were still selling.. We will be gone as soon as we can Also **** Branson

    @virginmedia Its seems ss premier league is unwatchable (grainy & lagging) but ss main event isnt too bad,not perfect but better, bt sports are all great.

    @virginmedia I never received a final bill on paper, only paperless but because it's been so long now, none of that information is on my account anymore when I log in! I've looked now & it's giving me no info. Can u please DM me so I can send my customer number & u can looking into this plz!

  • therealGDJ

    @virginmedia do you actually offer any kind of service??

  • Jackson_SCFC
    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.

  • Leelamou
    Sophie 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Leelamou) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia It was definitely intentional! Anyway... an hour later I finally managed to cancel. Won’t ever be using you again. See ya 👋🏼

  • Adamcroft1996
    Adam Croft (@Adamcroft1996) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales

    @virginmedia He apparently told my neighbour that it will just come on at some point tonight? I don’t really hold a lot of faith with that as he had no idea what the issue was?

  • _JGall
    👹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

  • grumpyoldprof
    Duncan Lewis (@grumpyoldprof) reported from Skewen, Wales

    Hello @virginmedia. My ntl email is down for third time in as many months and am unable to connect to the server. How long before it is back please?

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

    @virginmedia Yes so far. But apparently it's a temporary fix and they'll have to return again.

  • Jackson_SCFC
    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.

  • adewagstaff
    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

    @Benleo @virginmedia One of the worst companies I've had to deal with as well, other than British Gas. I can't wait to leave when my contract ends.

  • worldsaapart
    laney ☆ (@worldsaapart) reported

    @virginmedia is the wifi down in the M38 area? My mum can't log into the wifi on her phone or tv and when she tries it says it's not in range

  • ScottishAshley
    Ashley (@ScottishAshley) reported

    @virginmedia An engineer was booked and then the visit was cancelled by yourselves as it’s a wider issue apparently. So it’s an issue you should already be aware of as it’s widespread according to media

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    @virginmedia you told me there was an issue with my 360 tv box and said would send me a replacement. You sent me a stream box that doesn't record tv and not what I pay for or want.... and no one answers the phone

  • CFCCath
    CFC Cathy (@CFCCath) reported

    Been a customer for 20 years and intermittent signal for last 48 hours on @virginmedia and prices going up By 25%. Time for us to part our ways methinks …

  • SwanHefner
    Swan Hefner (@SwanHefner) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Don't get me started with this company. Still in the middle of a dispute over an early termination free where they used a new contract even though I'd explicitly asked them to cancel during the cooling off period. Now they have billed for 3 years worth of bills.

  • hatterscrypto
    Hatter (@hatterscrypto) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I can raise you. Try dealing with @ThreeUK . But I agree Virgin media have massively gone downhill in the customer service department.

  • chris327759
    chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported

    @virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there

  • MartHarrison
    Martin Harrison (@MartHarrison) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yeah…the internet speed was great but the rest was totally awful based on my only experience with them…when asked I tell folk to avoid them👍

    @Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.
