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

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

    @virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.

    @virginmedia sort your internet out as it's not working yet again

    @virginmedia It was definitely intentional! Anyway... an hour later I finally managed to cancel. Won’t ever be using you again. See ya 👋🏼

    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia thank you for keeping me on hold for the last 35 minutes then disconnecting me. I really didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday evening. Useless customer service continues

  • FROMMARGAM
    M (@FROMMARGAM) reported from Margam, Wales

    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 Hello, can’t get into @NetflixUK on TiVo box tonight getting error code A01, haven’t had this problem before please help

    Duncan Lewis (@grumpyoldprof) reported from Skewen, Wales

    Hello @virginmedia. I cannot sign in to my ntlworld email - it says my password is not recognised. Is the server down please as my password has not changed. This has happened at least 6 times in the last 12 months.

  • 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

    @GalePrime @AshBoio @LoREclipse It's still **** as it's virgin media

  • 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.

  • michalincs
    🧑‍💻 Michał in CS (@michalincs) reported from Swansea, Wales

    I cancelled @virginmedia broadband as the price kept increasing, the service wasn't. They offered 75% more speed for 40% less as I was such a "loyal customers for years". Effectively, they admitted they were overcharging me for years hoping that will make me stay! No thank you.

  • George2Rachel
    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia Problems are still@ongoing. Still unable to contact via phone to order a new router.

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

    @virginmedia by far the most awful company there is for customer service and Broadband!! Would not recommend anyone to join this company they dont want to help atall 😡

  • MikeARose98
    Michael (@MikeARose98) reported from Cwmafan, Wales

    @virginmedia why are your customer advisors refusing to let people leave? I keep getting hung up on within a few minutes after they've transferred me between each other a few times. This service is shockingly bad 😡

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 How is this even close to being an acceptable response @virginmedia. Mine doesn’t work either. And watching sky sports doesn’t help when what I want to watch is on the red button. 🤠🤠🤠🤠

  • suziepea619
    sue (@suziepea619) reported

    @virginmedia when are you going to get your act together and get your red button working again? Over a week now and no joy still a daft message experiencing an issue with set top box. Working on a fix. How long is a fix?

  • robincarder
    Robin Carder (@robincarder) reported

    Is this a known issue? Same here for us @virginmedia

  • nickholding01
    Nick68 (@nickholding01) reported

    @virginmedia Hello @virginmedia I dont think it's unreasonable to ask about a timescale for a fix and if compensation will be offered. It is however rude to ignore people

  • pcisaram1956

    Any one else out there had problems getting to watch the football onSky Sports through a Virgin Media box today? #virginmedia

  • lauriehann
    Laurie Hann (@lauriehann) reported

    @virginmedia Sky Sports Plus doesn't work. Sort it out, please.

  • SamReesO
    Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported

    @Keiran_Mark @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Yeah I know but it doesn’t always work out that way. Especially when watching live sports like F1. They only give you highlights not the full programme. Actually just found out you can get SkyQ if you call them. But point is their customer care is no better than Virgin now.

    @virginmedia @EllisMartin Hoping for refund on it everyday there seems to be a problem with my broadband or tv and pay enough money each month

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    Several videos of reckless driving remain available online, despite TikTok saying it is moving quickly to remove this type of content. Coimisiún na Meán has asked the platform for a “full account” of what has been done about material linked to the deaths of five teenage boys, after their car was driven the wrong way down the M9 motorway. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY
