    @virginmedia So you can't supply daughter's new house with broadband and so insist on a termination fee?!? They don't want to terminate. You're the ones who can't honour the contract! Can you please help here?

    @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.

    Hello @virginmedia. My ntl email is down for third time in as many months and am unable to connect to the server. How long before it is back please?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I received it back in May/June time, I already logged a complaint with the person who promised me they had sort it because of your absolutely abysmal customer service and still nearly another month later, moving into October I still have not received my refund! Coming into 6 mths

    @virginmedia He apparently told my neighbour that it will just come on at some point tonight? I don’t really hold a lot of faith with that as he had no idea what the issue was?

  • MikeARose98
    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 😡

  • Adamcroft1996

    @virginmedia No no known faults he was very surprised when I went out initially as he thought it was an isolated incident with next door

    Duncan Lewis (@grumpyoldprof) reported from Skewen, Wales

    Hello @virginmedia. I cannot sign in to my ntlworld email - it says my password is not recognised. Is the server down please as my password has not changed. This has happened at least 6 times in the last 12 months.

    @virginmedia had no wifi since essential work was carried out in the area yesterday. It was supposed to be back up by 4pm yesterday. Neighbour had same issue engineer came out to neighbour and realised we both had the same problem. He said he would let me know what 1/2

    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 Had trouble with TV since this morning. Now have just BBC and ITV. Tried phoning but had short message saying they are busy and phone later! Phoned later…same message! What’s going on!?

    @virginmedia I never received a final bill on paper, only paperless but because it's been so long now, none of that information is on my account anymore when I log in! I've looked now & it's giving me no info. Can u please DM me so I can send my customer number & u can looking into this plz!

  • enfysjack

    He @virginmedia Can you explain to me why a new customer can have the same package as me for £33 ? Whilst I am currently paying £85

  • adewagstaff
    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

  • Gezz99
    Geraint Reynolds (@Gezz99) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia please update your Virgin Mobile automated message which says lines are open until 22:00. I called at 21:05 and connected to a lost & stolen line who couldn't help and also said they couldn't feed back to anyone that the automated message is wrong 🤦

    Kevin Child (@KevDocChild) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia you really are impossible!20+ years as a customer, you invite me to get in touch to discuss my end of contract choices, then provide the lamest excuses when I try but fail! Mmm #timeforachangeofprovider

    Mark K (@kolokube) reported

    @virginmedia I have called every day for the past five days. Your CS promised to call back – they didn't! I still don't have an incoming service & you can't provide me with a PAC. You are holding my number to ransom. I want compensation for the HOURS spent trying to resolve this. #OFCOM

  • Eithne_White
    Eithne White (@Eithne_White) reported

    @virginmedia Ok the call agents did not help at all. I have phoned several times so I am not doing that again. I will be at work Friday morning, then have to travel back from Derby so wont be available until after 2pm at the earliest depending on the traffic.

  • jasmine_marien
    Jay™ (@jasmine_marien) reported

    @virginmedia I can only check the signal in the rooms where I have signal. If I try and run anything from the room with hardly any, I -understandably- lose signal and it can’t. Like the app won’t even rec WifiMax to me because it will lose signal halfway through checking issues.

  • TFourhead
    TheFourhead (@TFourhead) reported

    @virginmedia I've been told it's a cancellation fee of £96 per service!! All I'd like to do is remove the TV and landline and stay with the internet if this can actually be arranged. I was told it would be £44 a month for internet which I'm happy to pay

    Simon E 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴‍☠️ (@thelazydj) reported

    So @virginmedia Internet has been down since 3am in the ta63hy area. Not sure why it takes so long to fix. All my previous providers had it up. And running again in a couple of hours max. I'm a new customer and this isn't what I was expecting at all! Everything runs off the 1/2

    Danny Walker (@Wa72279508Danny) reported

    @virginmedia I’m at work. I’ve called up and you won’t talk to me because I don’t know my password. I never set one up. And I don’t know what you’ve charged me for so I can’t give you my bill. I don’t even know how I’ve got a bill

  • pipehitterz

    @virginmedia cable you need a pin Number password to access anything the temp one you've sent doesn't Work

  • IT_Owain
    Owen Stillman (@IT_Owain) reported

    @virginmedia Just for the record here, none of this was mentioned. In fact, your caller told me "this is what everyone will be getting, all providers are doing the same". But hey, you've got the call records. Might be worth a listen. I'll raise a complaint in the meantime
