    @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

    @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 🙄

    @virginmedia @johnmclaren1972 All I’m seeing are apologies but still no resolution to fixing issues, providing a decent service or looking after existing customers. I’ll be changing to sky next month.

    @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…

    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 😡

  • 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 👍

  • therealGDJ
    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!!!

  • Sixth_Form_Coll
    Swansea Sixth form College (@Sixth_Form_Coll) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia so disappointed with your service. It’s been 9 months since we changed our package and still @virginmedia cannot get a simple Direct debit form processed correctly.

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!

  • Magnoli23215778
    Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported

    @virginmedia As I have an engineer coming out on average every 6wks for last 18months, am now wanting to leave them. Saying I’ve to pay £1300 to get out of my remaining 14months contract. Anyone else having issues? Incompetent lot!

  • TomJJarvis
    Tom J Jarvis (@TomJJarvis) reported

    @virginmedia I was sold Gig2 2Gbps symmetric in June. The upload was never delivered at the contracted speed. After three separate calls got nowhere, your Faults team corrected it, then applied a £6/month surcharge for the speed I had already bought. 1/

  • Graelwyn
    Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported

    @GoonerJo2201 @virginmedia It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.

    @virginmedia The landing page is a pain in the backside. The user should be able to disable it if they want. Please issue a fix!

  • lionking2014
    Martin (@lionking2014) reported

    @JuanSpanishfly @LPXIOP @virginmedia I know how it works I was using voip 30 years ago!... The problem is the virgin broadband is down more often than the virgin phone line... So seems like I am losing a reliable landline line to go over a dodgy broadband one!

    @virginmedia do you have any issues in WA9? My internet has gone down 😡

    @LeilaniDowding @EE No idea Leilani. My elderly mother in law had issues last month with her virgin media line. It was down for 4 days, luckily she only lives around the corner.
