    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 😂

    @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.

    @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 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

  • KevDocChild
    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

    Adam Croft (@Adamcroft1996) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales

    @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

  • Jackson_SCFC
    Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.

    @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

  • 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

  • NessafromNeath
    Vanessa Walsh (@NessafromNeath) reported from Neath, Wales

    Disappointed to be leaving Virgin Media having been a loyal customer for many years. Poor customer service- they were more than happy to terminate our contract without caring to discuss options. Having waited an age to discuss options this was so disappointing! #virginmedia

    Chris Richards (@cymruchrisrich) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

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

  • LucyMazuma

    @virginmedia Are there problems in the Swansea area? Internet has been dropping out periodically for the last 2 days.

  • grumpyoldprof
    Duncan Lewis (@grumpyoldprof) reported from Skewen, Wales

    Could someone @virginmedia please help. I cannot access my ntlworld emails. This happened a few weeks ago when I was shut out of my account at your end.

    @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 Could you tell me what department I need to speak to about set up issues after a house move, and what time they close please

  • Hywel79
    Hywel (@Hywel79) reported from Swansea, Wales

    You'd think when @virginmedia sent out a new router it'd be one that works better than the old one, apparently not though, this ones shite as well. 3 days in a row, three seemingly random bouts of just not working

  • Sixth_Form_Coll
    Swansea Sixth form College (@Sixth_Form_Coll) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia so disappointed with your service. It’s been 9 months since we changed our package and still @virginmedia cannot get a simple Direct debit form processed correctly.

    Hi @virginmedia I've recently re negotiated my contract for 24 months . Can you plz tell me why my broadband hub is a No 3 when apparently there's now a No 5 hub ? Which is was offered at a greater price by your "sales people" ?? Surely as a "valued customer" i should be upgraded

    Pirate (@pirate1100) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media are terrible, I had the phone package removed years ago as they kept billing me for calls I hadn’t made. If you don’t renew broadband contract they charge you extortionate fees. Terrible company.

  • Inevry109
    Ryan (@Inevry109) reported

    @ZiaYusufUK Virgin Media knocked on my door asking if I wanted to change my provider. I asked them to leave. Then I got a delivery leaflet for the local takeaway through the letterbox. I've never felt more harassed in my life.

    @Ofcom Good! my dad is 80 and my mother has dementia (who he cares for) they recently talked him into paying £120 a month for channels he didn't want and he finds it impossible to get out of it. He only called them to report bad reception @virginmedia
