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

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

    @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 😡

    @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 😡

    @virginmedia I'm aware of the line you're taking to defend the 11% increase but the point is that your service is rubbish as demonstrated by the third image. We have to chuck £200 to Google to get a hub that works. I presume you're not getting an 11% pay rise this year. I know I'm not.

    @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

    Geraint Reynolds (@Gezz99) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia please update your Virgin Mobile automated message which says lines are open until 22:00. I called at 21:05 and connected to a lost & stolen line who couldn't help and also said they couldn't feed back to anyone that the automated message is wrong 🤦

    @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.

    @WonderSpotCafe @vmbusiness We had exactly the same... forced into an upgrade..across our sites.. because they were no longer maintaining a package they were still selling.. We will be gone as soon as we can Also **** Branson

    @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.

    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

  • 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 👍

    @virginmedia Internet playing up yet again, absolutely shocking service..

  • Welsh19
    Stephen Squires (@Welsh19) reported from Pontardawe, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam sort it out… it’s imperative now more than ever when we are working from home to have reliable internet!! There random outages are happening far too often and causing issue for my work and customers!! It’s just a shame I can’t get @virginmedia internet…

  • carlbillings61

    @virginmedia - another frustrating phone call to you where previously upheld complaint still not initiated 😡. Can someone contact me please ?

  • 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

    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.

    @virginmedia ..you keep sending me texts about the switch to fibre network. I have not received a letter or an email and getting through to anyone at your call centre is impossible. Not good customer service.

  • pwcwright
    Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband continually going down in the TF3 area ? Twice so far today continuing from the last few days of outages !

  • ambo1992
    Amber Carter ⎊ (@ambo1992) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through on live chat all day, it now appears to be completely broken. WhatsApp option doesn’t work either. Please can anyone help? Impossible to get through by any means

  • bling_pot
    @bling_pot (@bling_pot) reported

    @virginmedia Can you explain how you can even justify increasing your broadband service to over double for a single household who limits what they use WiFi for?!

  • SteveSmith98
    Steve Smith (@SteveSmith98) reported

    Hi @virginmedia. Fault F012283434 started last Thursday and you're now saying you don't intend to fix it at all this week. Do you actually think it's OK for your customers to be unable to work for a week? Could you not even try to explain what's wrong and what you're doing?

  • LisaBoyce6
    Lisa Boyce (@LisaBoyce6) reported

    @virginmedia - your salesman has sold an Alzheimer’s relative a media package- she doesn’t have mental capacity to consent but your call centre refuses to take our lasting power of attorney so we can’t cancel. She has no paperwork and can’t remember the password set up. Not good!

  • billywi56359173
    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia too busy money grabbing working through bots instead of getting real people to support your customers with actual help, fed up of trying to explain to a robot what’s going on

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo2 (@ImaginaryCard) reported

    Been waiting all day and still no response from @virginmedia. Can't get through to anyone on the phone either. Shocking customer service. @Ofcom they are not letting me record a loss of Internet service for 12 hours now
