    @virginmedia My salon phone number is experiencing a fault on the line. I can’t get through to call you as engaged to report fault How can you help us?

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the CF23 area ... no WiFi??

  • KerryMordey
    Kerry Mordey (@KerryMordey) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    .@virginmedia we have had NO service for 2 days & our IT provider says it’s because construction workers have cut through your lines. Is this correct & if so, when do you anticipate this will be rectified please?

    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

  • LeesaEdwards1
    Leesa Edwards (@LeesaEdwards1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Not been in touch because nobody will answer phone. No problem not resolved. It’s a billing issue

  • cardiffrebel
    ANDREW JUDD (@cardiffrebel) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia could you please tell me how to activate WiFi calling on Sony Xperia 5 ii my wife has it I can see how to do it on O2 network but option not available on virgin handset?

  • Natalieball1984
    NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hi, just had an email saying that our bill it going to raise from £30 to £57.50 & that we have been signed upto an 18month contract! I never signed anything or have had any kind of letter to inform me of this. We have very little money, all on job seekers or furlough

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  • msb1302
    Michelle (@msb1302) reported from Treforest, Wales

    @virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia So fed up of the lousy WiFi. Can’t join the network even though the correct password is used.

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

  • Jessybell1988
    Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I hope so. The extremely patronising and rude person I spoke to yesterday in an abroad call centre told me there was no complaints department and he couldn’t do anything at all until I paid the bill.

  • edmorrispt
    Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Wifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home

  • aliander
    alex wright (@aliander) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm fed up of trying to get in touch to sort out my rubbish broadband service, due to the fact you cant keep your end of the contract please cancel mine.

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

  • NobbyD27
    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Alleluia @virginmedia Just taken one month to have most issues resolved. Feedback: less silos in customer service so they can see all issues and be more helpful.

  • janethebuell
    Jane (@janethebuell) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Same problem with @skytv. Told them mum had died & wanted account closed. They said "we cannot close the account, we need to talk to the account holder". I repeated she died. I gave up, sent the equipment back & ignored the flurry of demanding emails. Very distressing.

  • w47carr
    Mrs c (@w47carr) reported

    So been without WiFi and tv because of @virginmedia outage in barnsley since early morning supposed to be fixed by 5pm tonight and 4g is useless

  • kkitkat_exe
    spidella's kitkat🍫||offline (@kkitkat_exe) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia contact the ombudsman directly virgin media is useless they signed us up for their stay connected service w/o telling us and kept sending us bills when we didn't even have their equipment basically the ombudsman is the best way to get them to stop harassing you for money

  • LeeHodler
    TheBotfather (@LeeHodler) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with Scottish Power - it’s shocking how useless these corporate pirates are..

  • GretaTigress
    Greta D (@GretaTigress) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia High time Ofcom simply banned new-customer prices. Let’s have the same prices for everyone, and the out-of-contract prices should get equal prominence. Even the biggest @MartinSLewis worshipper is fatigued by constant switching

  • milesc2003
    Miles (@milesc2003) reported

    @virginmedia due to last nights thunderstorm in WS14 the fiber broadband had been down since 3am. Spoke to a human at 8:30am who said they are waiting for an update. No internet for 9 hours for many people who WFH. Any updates would be appreciated

  • RyanHerd14
    Ryan Herd (@RyanHerd14) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia It’s ridiculous, and a predatory business practice. Raise the out of contract price by 2-3x and, if one customer doesn’t noticed but 2 cancel, they’ve still increased revenue and reduced overheads and admin.

  • GR_BEAR1979
    GR-Bear🏆x55 (@GR_BEAR1979) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry Absolute pish !!! I had an introductory offer of £94 for 18 months !! Then it jumped to £205 😵😵. Exact same package. Looked at recontract - offered less services, slower broadband etc for £170. Don’t believe the recontract nonsense, it’s still expensive and a lesser service

  • SaffaJC
    JC (@SaffaJC) reported

    @davekeena1 @virginmedia Mate I would reconsider virgin. Their customer service is the worst. They will admit they messed up but do nothing to rectify it. The staff are either inadequately trained or simply don’t care. Manager are the same unqualified under trained and useless

  • korky69
    mick auckland (@korky69) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia reminded me of when my dad passed away with the then "orange" mobile network, called to cancel and pay the outstanding balance, they insisted on speaking with the account holder? explained he had died, they still demanded to speak to him! never the less the bill was left unpaid
