    @virginmedia @johnmclaren1972 All I’m seeing are apologies but still no resolution to fixing issues, providing a decent service or looking after existing customers. I’ll be changing to sky next month.

  • 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!!!!!

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @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

  • _katyjames kat 🍊 (@_katyjames) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia pls fix my wifi

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @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

  • MrsSusanAlder Susan Alder (@MrsSusanAlder) reported from Swansea, Wales

    When @virginmedia service status says everything is fine but it's been on and off since Saturday 😡😡 x

  • Vanilla__Slice Sarah (@Vanilla__Slice) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @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.

  • 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 😂

  • belock14 Beccy Blackmore (@belock14) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m having problems getting through to your customer services, I’ve been trying since yesterday morning. This is unacceptable. Please can you send me a link for a web chat.

  • garethslee Gareth Slee  (@garethslee) reported from Port Talbot, Wales

    @virginmedia My internet has been up and down for the last few days. This morning it completely failed. Rebooted hub a few times but still no go SA13 area.

  • _JGall 👹JGall👹 (@_JGall) reported from Swansea, Wales

  • _JGall 👹JGall👹 (@_JGall) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @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

  • JonoTobin 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

  • _katyjames kat 🍊 (@_katyjames) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @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

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Port Talbot, Wales

    @virginmedia I was advised that I need to speak to a different department, by what feels like every department in Virgin Media! Whoever dealt with the house to house transfer has made an error.. and has somehow cancelled my service. But no department is taking responsibility to fix

  • DragonEmbers Nat (@DragonEmbers) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Having to pay an early disconnection fee because you don't run services there is brilliant customer service 😂

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Taylor54763379 Taylor (@Taylor54763379) reported

    @virginmedia I have been a customer for years and have always had this issue. Everytime I am promised a fix it never works. Time to swap service provider I think. Had enough of everything being a battle.

  • BuchananStef Stefanie Buchanan (@BuchananStef) reported

    @virginmedia get your broadband and wifi sorted in the Bearsden area. Not sure how much longer I’m willing to pay for this sub standard service. BT will be getting a call shortly!!!

  • ScasianSmc1999 smc1999 (@ScasianSmc1999) reported

    @virginmedia Nope. I don’t like to personalise things but they were useless. Not great when ones family has been directly affected by COVID. I also asked for a copy of the web chat transcript so I could email a complaint to your chief exec, they said they couldn’t provide this - shocking

  • DK_Grinding DK Grinding LTD (@DK_Grinding) reported

    @virginmedia Basically we upgraded too a 1 gig package over a week ago! And we are only getting 260-380 on average Wi-fi speed! Several phone calls and an intelligent pod sent! Still the same an engineer appointment on Friday didn’t resolve issues! His said 1 gig is going in

  • alif_drestik Alif (@alif_drestik) reported

    @virginmedia what's wrong with the broadband? The internet keeps coming and going since last night. Please fix it

  • DannyHayton9 Danny Hayton (@DannyHayton9) reported

    @virginmedia 8 pound per day and I had 6 days without any service and I get 1 pound. How does that work

  • FergUK85 FergUK85 (@FergUK85) reported

    @virginmedia Furthermore I can’t even log into my account online to do anything as it takes me to an error page - so that’s landline customer service, text service & online support that are all not working for me (all while costing me money in paying for a now redundant service) unfortunately

  • Wei41350764 Wei (@Wei41350764) reported

    @virginmedia Not at all. My guess is at the date of moving, the service was not yet available for the new address just yet, but will be in matter of days.

  • DJSharkym Mike 'Sharky' (@DJSharkym) reported

    @virginmedia Yes thats correct, a full triple. ( 1 box, 1 hub, 1 phone) Not let down, just confused. Pre Installation Checks done, but unable to bring install date forward, but no real reason as to why.

  • KVRush71 Kerry Rushton (@KVRush71) reported

    Disgusted with @virginmedia service!!! Diabolical broadband coverage and non existent customer service as well now!!! In case anyone is considering signing up, so yourself a favour..... DON’T!!! Nothing but disappointed with them. 😡
