    @virginmedia It seems it’s down until 10.15 tomorrow morning. Ridiculous

    @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.

    @virginmedia We had a box fitted yesterday and the signal just isn’t working, it drops ever other minute or so and we can only get service in the room where the box is

    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @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.

    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

  • TheBenWoodcock
    Benjamin Woodcock (@TheBenWoodcock) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia im getting really annoyed with your mobile service as I cannot receive any automated text messages (which makes 2FA for some stuff impossible). This is an ongoing issue. Also unable to get through to 150

    @virginmedia took out new contract. Been waiting 2 days for the service to be activated and have been promised 2 call backs to help resolve the issue which has I have not had. Very poor service indeed.

    @MrsSusanAlder @virginmedia They're a nightmare but won't do anything to fix it now during the pandemic, but expect full payment it's a joke x

  • Dex_Fitz
    𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia No they have not. If they had done what they’ve advised they’d done, the complaint should be linked to my account? Surely?

  • ELGriff28
    Elliot Griffiths (@ELGriff28) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, there is. I have outages every week and im trying to work from home. Everytime i call i get the same answer (theres nothing we can do) I asked to raise a complaint and i was told that agents arent allowed? Appalling service!!!!😡

    GAYNOR JOHNSON (@JOHNSONGAYNOR) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @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!?

  • 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 😂

  • LucyMazuma
    Lucy Cohen (@LucyMazuma) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes so far. But apparently it's a temporary fix and they'll have to return again.

    @virginmedia My Tv service is still down Pe7 area. Every week we have issues with distorted and pixellated channels. What the hell is wrong with you people. No apology ever given. The service is a disgrace.Been with you for 12+ years. Contract up in July and then you can go to hell

    ... (@GrantRfc89) reported

    @ArmchairAdml Just give notice or switch to a different provider. I had similar with Virgin media recently and literally had to have my wife try and open a new account at the address before I got a deal comparable to the new customer one.

  • HollMCR
    Hollie (@HollMCR) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I haven’t had internet or TV since Monday, Engineer came out Wednesday & said its a fault with cable outside. 2nd engineers came that afternoon to do something outside and still no internet? Can you help.

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    @virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!

  • dollynoocat
    Dollynoocat (@dollynoocat) reported

    @virginmedia yes did that yesterday when BBC1 wasn't working. The usual 20 minutes to reconnect and today my internet went down for 6 hours. Superb service (not) 34 years a customer and phoning Sky tomorrow !!

  • ChrisPerez75
    Chris Perez (@ChrisPerez75) reported

    @virginmedia There are still issues with my TV. The BBC channel 101 is inactive & has a black screen. Why is this still the case? What are you doing to rectify this & how long will it take?

    @virginmedia I can tell you the problem is with the head end. No great surprise there
