    @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 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.

    Hi @virginmedia we pay for 100mb but are getting 3. Thanks a lot. Margam, Wales. Don't give me any of that survey crap or dumb links. You fix it. Thanks.

    @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?

  • 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

    @virginmedia hi my speed has died to a crawl this morning in the SA13 2 area of Port Talbot. Have reset the Super Hub etc. Help needed please.

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

    @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.

    G (@therealGDJ) reported from Pontarddulais, Wales

    @virginmedia abysmal service. I’ve spent almost 2 weeks trying to get through to speak to someone about the price increase you’re looking to force on me, despite that I’m meant to benefit from #MatesRates for life. Please pick up the phone!!!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 🙄

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

    @virginmedia No explanation was given as i mentioned. My problem still isnt solved and im sick and tired of dealing with incompetent agents. Dont worry about the complaint ill raise my concerns with @Ofcom

    @virginmedia You guys are the worst literally, your replies are so slow!

  • Ericsonnycon
    Neil Parry (@Ericsonnycon) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Its seems ss premier league is unwatchable (grainy & lagging) but ss main event isnt too bad,not perfect but better, bt sports are all great.

  • si_rees
    Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

    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 😂

  • WeAreOpenreach
    Openreach (@WeAreOpenreach) reported

    @NeilJac74898351 @virginmedia Hi Neil, Virgin install and use their own network separate to the Openreach network, so any information on our website about services you can order wouldn't apply to any Virgin products and vice versa, I'm afraid. If you wish to order FTTP, you'd need to order through a (1/2)

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam got the same with virgin media ..needs a regulation like with car insurance where they have to offer you the same deal as a new customer

    @virginmedia your routers really are ****!!! I’m sat in garden, in direct line of maybe 8 metres from router and can’t get wifi signal. If only you valued quality of service !

  • emmathompy
    Emma Thompson (@emmathompy) reported

    @virginmedia hi - I've done a few speed tests now that show I've got poor connection below what's expected (below 30mb) in my house but I seem to just go round in circles in my account to request a free pod and can't actually do it anywhere. Can you help please?

  • Nicky_P_Smalley
    Nicky P. Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t tried ringing, as I’m more likely to get through to Elvis on a ouija board then you. For a month our top package internet keeps failing, you say you fix it & a week later it dies. Pull your finger out & sort compo for every customer in S63 7NR area.

  • Nicky_P_Smalley

    @virginmedia All I need you to do is fix the internet in this postcode and keep it fixed. Not difficult.

    @andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.

    Keiran Griffiths (@Keiran_Mark) reported

    @SamReesO @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Sky Stream (and glass) is on-demand service, so if you miss something, you can search for it and watch it, so no need to record it.
