    Could someone @virginmedia please help. I cannot access my ntlworld emails. This happened a few weeks ago when I was shut out of my account at your end.

    @virginmedia £50 more for the same package seems unfair to your loyal existing customer's

  • bigchristweets
    Chris Davies (@bigchristweets) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm aware of the line you're taking to defend the 11% increase but the point is that your service is rubbish as demonstrated by the third image. We have to chuck £200 to Google to get a hub that works. I presume you're not getting an 11% pay rise this year. I know I'm not.

    @SkyHelpTeam sort it out… it’s imperative now more than ever when we are working from home to have reliable internet!! There random outages are happening far too often and causing issue for my work and customers!! It’s just a shame I can’t get @virginmedia internet…

  • Dex_Fitz
    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.

  • Ericsonnycon
    Neil Parry (@Ericsonnycon) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia There are no issues via your link

    @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 😡

    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

    @virginmedia pls fix my wifi

  • 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.

  • FROMMARGAM
    M (@FROMMARGAM) reported from Margam, Wales

    Hi @virginmedia we pay for 100mb but are getting 3. Thanks a lot. Margam, Wales. Don't give me any of that survey crap or dumb links. You fix it. Thanks.

  • DragonEmbers
    Nat (@DragonEmbers) reported from Swansea, Wales

    Can'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 😂

  • JonoTobin
    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

  • Shane_Rees

    @virginmedia I have and have been advised to reboot the router after 14:00. If I have any issues I will be back in touch.

    @virginmedia can you help your call centres are useless!!! My sister has moved house as she and her husband are divorced and she has no contact with him. The ac is in his name , but she pays for it. All she wants is the ac to be in her name .. why is this so hard to do 🤬 ?

  • Englandgav
    ^Gavstar^ (@Englandgav) reported

    Hey @virginmedia want to know why I get bills for myself and someone else? My hub is linked to there account and address so I can access there account/bills and upgrade there package. Your customer services seem unwilling to help. GDPR issue

  • alan_reddish

    @virginmedia Total **** show this. Cant get a single person to talk to me for 2 hours

  • ExpanseCon
    Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported

    @ulickdcox @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

    maxine wilson 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@maxinewilson121) reported

    I have changed Internet yesterday as I was out of contract with virgin media and they wanted 95 a month, I have switched to @youfibre and I am thrilled to bits with it and now even get signal in my garden.

  • SuddenLife
    Max Pallas (@SuddenLife) reported

    @gloucesterglass @virginmedia Mobile phone signal in Tewkesbury is virtually non existent. I can’t send SMS text inside my home, there no 5G, and I get a weak 4G on Tewkesbury bypass. Fortunately, I have good WiFi, YouFibre 900mb for £24 monthly.

    I moved house on August 28th and Virgin Media has been unable to connect my internet service. It's terrible service; I've wasted hours talking to them with no results. @Virgin #England

  • declancarty
    Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported

    @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????

    @virginmedia Not my issue. Read post above.
