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!!!

Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales@virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.
-
Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales@virginmedia thank you for keeping me on hold for the last 35 minutes then disconnecting me. I really didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday evening. Useless customer service continues
-
G (@therealGDJ) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales@virginmedia do you actually offer any kind of service??
-
Michael (@MikeARose98) reported from Cwmafan, Wales@virginmedia why are your customer advisors refusing to let people leave? I keep getting hung up on within a few minutes after they've transferred me between each other a few times. This service is shockingly bad 😡

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
-
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.
-
𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales@virginmedia No they have not. If they had done what they’ve advised they’d done, the complaint should be linked to my account? Surely?
-
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 😡

Adam Croft (@Adamcroft1996) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales@virginmedia had no wifi since essential work was carried out in the area yesterday. It was supposed to be back up by 4pm yesterday.

G (@therealGDJ) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales@philhovestadt @virginmedia That is only half of the issue...
-
Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Port Talbot, Wales@virginmedia I was advised that I need to speak to a different department, by what feels like every department in Virgin Media! Whoever dealt with the house to house transfer has made an error.. and has somehow cancelled my service. But no department is taking responsibility to fix

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.

Pete Samuels (@PeteSamuels5) reportedOver 24 hours, not a whisper, not a reply, no fix.@LittleBigSnake is this the image you wish to portray? @virginmedia - same for you, but what did I seriously expect. come on you two, get off your arses, send a few emails & earn your keep!
-
AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported@virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update
-
Sophie Alexis (@SophieAlexis30) reported@virginmedia just installed internet and been told we need 2 boosters it’s been a week and a half and still yet to arrive. Can anyone help in chasing them please.
-
LovelifeLoveLowe (@debbsno1) reported@TheGriftReport Virgin media have been ringing me a lot, I dont answer, as I can NEVER understand the call handler, theyre also very impatient and rude. I pay my bill via direct debit on time, everytime, so , unless I've a problem to report I simply dont put myself through it, too stressful.
-
Chris (@Brutha_bear74) reported@virginmedia I’m trying to login to my account but I’m getting an error code of IDF-12B, how can I pay my bill or get in the app? It’s not recognising my email even though I’m getting my email bills from you
-
Carol-Ann Sihra (@Csihra) reported@virginmedia The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Managers can’t even get it right, how hard can it be to cancel a contract
-
BZSM1TH (@BazingaSmth) reported@virginmedia Any problems with voice service ? My TV remote is no longer recognising voice commands. Remote is working and I rebooted box. Just get spinning "listening" icon
-
Isla (@saoirseisla) reportedMy fave thing about @virginmedia is nothing. No WiFi for 4 days. No WiFi = no tv. Been fobbed off for days. Each day promising it’ll fixed by the end of the day. Only to turn around today and say only an engineer coming to the house can fix it. I want out of this contract.

Paddy 🇮🇪 (@paddywalsh35) reported@PGNWTLOI1D hopefully virgin media steal the rights, RTE coverage is just painfully bad now

Ian Scott (@IanScott_01) reported@virginmedia I have emailed the ResolutionsTeam this morning regarding an ongoing issue. Does this email get monitored and can I expect a call back from them?
