    @virginmedia After being on hold for over 50 minutes I had to end the call. I’m literally back to square one. That’s the problem.

    Abbie Thompson (@abbiet126) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia why is WiFi down for the fourth time this week whilst the app says service is fine? I know it’s not just my box.

  • JonoTobin
    Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

  • 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

  • michalincs
    🧑‍💻 Michał in CS (@michalincs) reported from Swansea, Wales

    I cancelled @virginmedia broadband as the price kept increasing, the service wasn't. They offered 75% more speed for 40% less as I was such a "loyal customers for years". Effectively, they admitted they were overcharging me for years hoping that will make me stay! No thank you.

    @virginmedia Hi, who can help in setting up a new landline phone? I’ve followed the instructions it came with but it doesn’t make calls or receive etc. thanks.

    @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.

    Sarah (@Vanilla__Slice) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm moving home at the weekend so engineer's came out to the new property today to connect the outside cables to the house. They were unable to as the neighbours are using that cable. Hope you can help.

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

    @MartinSLewis Virgin media have a call back team. You actually have to cancel your contract, then they call you back within 2 weeks and that's when you get the best deals.

  • j_henderson__
    JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported

    @virginmedia You know, it would be nice if there were some responsibilty taken for the poor customer service rather than some AI generated “ah well sorry about that”. You’re a service provider, and the service is crap.

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    So, my @virginmedia hub died on Thursday. Finally worked out how to call them yesterday. Today a guy comes out to fix it but can't. Just got a message saying they'll be here on TUESDAY. Until then, no internet or TV. And no changes to the heating. Or the cat flap...

  • dannog_8
    Dan (@dannog_8) reported

    Just about had it with both O2 and Virgin Media. Both cost a fortune and get an absolutely abysmal service!

  • argyledavros
    Dave Warrilow (@argyledavros) reported

    Massive problems with @virginmedia in #Southend. Broadband hasn't been working properly for over a week. Service checker keeps changing excuse, so you can't book and engineer. Tried calling on hold for half an hour then cut off. Shocking service.

  • EgalGeordie
    Egalitarian Geordie (@EgalGeordie) reported

    @nftholbein @csljohnkirby @O2 Yea I switched to EE after nearly 20 years with O2. They seem to have taken every awful part of Virgin Media since the merger. Would never trust them again.

    @virginmedia intermittent service in the area yet no sign of any engineers sorting issues. How long will this go on?

  • lennylaw
    Percival Merganser (@lennylaw) reported

    Really good point from Steve. 0345 454 1111 How did I find the number? Went to the “accessibility support” tab on the My Virgin Media app. Always imagine you have a disability. Did they ask? Did they arse. Goes straight to the helpline.

    @virginmedia we are getting no internet and the app says it’s our kits connection but that is all good and still won’t work after following your steps? Any help or updates?
