  • chris061183 chris (@chris061183) reported from Skewen, Wales

  • Botleylady  Val  (@Botleylady) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m totally disgusted with your call centre service I’ve just had a call from them & the person in question conveniently cut me off whilst in process of speaking to him. This has happened before & a complaint ignored. Value your customers you don’t know the meaning

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hywel79 Hywel (@Hywel79) reported from Swansea, Wales

    You'd think when @virginmedia sent out a new router it'd be one that works better than the old one, apparently not though, this ones shite as well. 3 days in a row, three seemingly random bouts of just not working

  • si_rees Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia hi my speed has died to a crawl this morning in the SA13 2 area of Port Talbot. Have reset the Super Hub etc. Help needed please.

  • identiti32 Sara-Jane (@identiti32) reported from Price Town, Wales

    @virginmedia Sort IT OUT IF I DONT ANSWER I CANNOT BECAUSE NO INTERNET BECAUSE @Plusnet suck AT HOUSEMOVES AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL

  • 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 👋🏼

  • si_rees Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

  • BenSwansea Ben Lewis-Bloor (@BenSwansea) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia my internet just suddenly went down 10mins ago. I was using it. Your test says it cant see the equipment SA1 2PQ

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

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness @GrumbleGutsUK Ours still doesn't work... 3 weeks

  • Jackson_SCFC 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.

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia I just googled it and my issue is with my pc hooked to my router with an Ethernet cable, the WiFi is fine

  • 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.

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

    @vmbusiness It's been 11 days without service... and no call backs... I'd just really like to leave

  • _katyjames kat 🍊 (@_katyjames) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia pls fix my wifi

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @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.

  • parsons_brian Brian Parsons (@parsons_brian) reported from Port Talbot, Wales

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply, the room where my hub is has great WiFi, my study has my laptop and printer, however WiFi is poor. I’d like to put some kinda booster in there, I did a test and looked into ordering one from you but was dismayed to being told it will cost £3 per mth plus del

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

    @vmbusinesshelp @luhbreton @vmbusiness We are on 18 days of no internet or service.. so I feel you

  • myjacketishuge Dave (@myjacketishuge) reported

    @LozzaFox @virginmedia Still?? I've had BT fibre for nearly 8 years, I swear total outage in that time has been max 24 hrs. Seriously. Switch your interweb supplier.

  • andrewyeardley Andy (@andrewyeardley) reported

    @virginmedia Exactly the crap customer service! 21 hours to reply

  • robbyroberts90 Alex Roberts (@robbyroberts90) reported

    Absolutely livid with @virginmedia customer service for broadband. Some of the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life. Absolutely laughable.

  • emmagillis Emma Gillis (@emmagillis) reported

    @virginmedia I've cancelled my account earlier and still haven't received an email to confirm. I've been on the phone for over 2 hours and spoke to 4 people today AND had the phone put down on me. Can you help?

  • robbyroberts90 Alex Roberts (@robbyroberts90) reported

    @virginmedia I get it’s allegedly due to covid but other companies don’t have this issue so why is your model so poor. First experience of virgin internet and I’m 100% changing providers straight away.

  • andrewhepburn Andrew Hepburn (@andrewhepburn) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, nobody at Virgin Media will answer the phone. Been trying all day but just get an automated message and hang up. What on earth is going on?

  • RickmaryMary mary marilyn simpson (@RickmaryMary) reported

    @LozzaFox @virginmedia Yup, don't fix it plz.

  • JanMcN Janet McNulty (@JanMcN) reported

    @virginmedia I am already on the telephone preference service. I did actually realise it was a scam but I want to know why Virgin Media's record of blocking scam calls and emails suddenly seems to be totally abysmal!

  • DevilishAccord David Chriscole (@DevilishAccord) reported

    @virginmedia ZERO JUSTIFICATION - And no, I won't login to a different portal to answer your pathetic canned response. Crawl back under your bed of other people's hard earned cash. Don't @ me again.

  • AmieAitken Amie Aitken (@AmieAitken) reported

    @Timuslloyd @virginmedia I'm currently trying to get a resolution to a long-standing issue too. Such fun!
