    @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.

    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

    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

    MrandMrs50Plus (@MrandMrs50Plus) reported from Port Talbot, Wales

    @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?

  • spilzzz
    Alice Spils (@spilzzz) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @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 PS I know the link is at the bottom when you scroll down, it's just it would be easier if it was at the top

  • hedges1975
    Richard Hedges (@hedges1975) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

    @virginmedia would it be too much trouble for someone to fix my landline issue, I can't receive incoming calls, yet your call centre agents tell me there going to ring me back on my home line and then cut me off!!! Can't ring me back if I can't receive incoming calls!!!!!

    @virginmedia I was transferred numerous times. Then finally told that the person who set up the house transfer, has messed it up and somehow cancelled my access. With no solution on how to fix it

    @virginmedia So you’re telling me that because 3 separate members of your staff have lied and not raised a complaint when I’ve asked, I now need to send you a letter? Are you joking? #VirginMedia

  • 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 SERIOUSLY SORT YOUR ******* INTERNET OUT!!!! I need to talk about my contract ASAP,sick of this **** service!!!

  • APTSArchive

    Quick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!

    @virginmedia TV and Broadband broken for over a week after your engineers damaged the cable to my house whilst installing a new customer. Repair should have been Saturday, was cancelled and rescheduled for yesterday, cancelled! and now cancelled again today. I’m moving to @skytv

    Out of curiosity @virginmedia why are you not replacing my router that you have said has a fault which I only know about because I asked you for help but a colleague of mine was contacted & had his router replaced with no problems? I understand part of the problem is my fault

    GW (@GGWilliams72) reported

    @virginmedia @Bomber19631 I had Stream Box and Broadband set up yesterday. Neither working today, tried Cust Serv’s on hold over 45 mins and still no answer! These people are as garbage as their services, spend your money elsewhere. I’m going back to @SkyUK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    @virginmedia when I press the red button to access sky sports plus I no longer receive an error message. Has my box been successfully updated to fix this issue and I should now expect no further issues from this incident? Thanks @Virgin

    @virginmedia Help!! Our neighbours are Virgin installed but they said cables were needed as no-one on the street had it. Our Virgin connection at the gate has now been cut off!!!!!
