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

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

    @virginmedia a lot of good your mobile service is when I cant call 111 from my phone

  • CLlewellyn19 Chris Llewellyn (@CLlewellyn19) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Is there anyone working tonight? My box is not working and is stuck on the starting up page. Been like it for about 3 hours. Waited on the phone for an hour then got cut off, been waiting for another 2 hours 😡

  • George2Rachel 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.

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

    @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.

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia why am I buying for you when your broadband service continues to disconnect?! #complaint 😡

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Absolutely awful considering the service provided by your company is terrible, I’m still waiting for a response to my complaint!

  • IROJDP Jonathan🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@IROJDP) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour and twenty mins with my 90yo dad to try to solve a C130 connection problem. And still no answer. Absolute shambles customer service

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia TBH I’ve restarted the WiFi as per your tips online but the performance is really poor.

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Hey I’ve done everything on your website and still the same issues.

  • abbiet126 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.

  • CLlewellyn19 Chris Llewellyn (@CLlewellyn19) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Got through to someone this morning. A new box is needed and a technician booked for Tuesday. Any chance you can contact my mate @wrighty1313 he’s been having issues too 👍

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia An engineer came out but still not working properly.

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yeah I’ve done that and same issues

  • SimonLew87 S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it’s says there are no issues. It’s frustrating as I’m working from home and continues to drop or go off.

  • mikeyowen2 Michael owen Ⓜ (@mikeyowen2) reported from Cwmafan, Wales

    @virginmedia network is the worst WiFi I have ever witnessed in my life.

  • 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

  • jasminbice Jasmin Bice (@jasminbice) reported

    @virginmedia No issues in my area, still abysmal service and connection. This has been ongoing for a couple of days now and I’ve called in twice. Pls could someone look into why this is happening?

  • davedawes Dave Dawes (@davedawes) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John, when I tried to raise a complaint yesterday, Virgin immediately closed it so that has now gone off to the regulator. I was however promised that the field manager would ring me and he hasn’t.

  • YazMuldoon Yan Muldoon (@YazMuldoon) reported

    more shocking service from @virginmedia . they never let you know its gonna be off on on all month

  • smethu1 Michelle Smethurst (@smethu1) reported

    @virginmedia hi do you know why our signal on tv keeps dropping on v6 box ? It happens regularly despite service checks saying no issues. Tv goes black screen and says no signal and can’t do anything. No matter I’d love tv or recorded.

  • flashieboy Flash Taylor (@flashieboy) reported

    Hey @virginmedia. Spent the last few weeks getting drop outs, slow service and all types of malarky. I hate being this guy but also don’t want to spend hours on the phone/chat bots to get lip service. This tweet is a Hail Mary. How do I get to U to help.

  • antronet Jamal Pasha (@antronet) reported

    That frustrating (looong) moment when your ISP connection is so poor that you can’t even connect to the ISP. Yes I’m talking about you @virginmedia

  • hannahedwards54 Hannah (@hannahedwards54) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - we lost power earlier however, we still haven’t regained WiFi connection. Can someone look into this for me please? The WiFi symbol is flashing green with a permanent green power light. We have checked our connection and can’t seem to fix the issue.

  • Sam_Maria1312 Samantha (@Sam_Maria1312) reported

    @virginmedia Earlier this page said there were no faults, now it won't let me check. However, there are issues reported in the local Facebook group (B45 postcode)

  • joe_mallabone Joe Mallabone (@joe_mallabone) reported

    @virginmedia found something worse than your broadbands reliability!! Your customer service! Over 10 hours to cancel a contract- 16x faster than bt and sky!

  • bbrookes84 Benjamin Brookes (@bbrookes84) reported

    @tarajadeadamsxx @virginmedia Agreed there's no way I can be off work for that long either. Also the service status pages still tell us nothing!
