    Anyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??

  • MsWhippet1 Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

  • lou_dare Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

    @virginmedia we are having issues NP19 we’ve rebooted and checked wires.. been on and off now for few weeks. What’s going on please ??

  • Dazc090861 Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

  • BackOnTrack__ Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia you SUCK, you have NO CUSTOMER service at all. Employ more staff and start to provide a service we are paying for RUBBISH SERVICE perhaps we need to move to @skytv !!!!

  • Dazc090861 Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • 3EyedTiger 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 (@3EyedTiger) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @virginmedia Cheers, still down this morning - tried another 2 router reboots at 6am and 7:30 respectively but was no better, solid red light, etc.. Will try again at midday

  • Dazc090861 Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.

  • paulo1927 Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

  • Dazc090861 Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

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

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

  • 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?

  • darth_noga Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

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

    @virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

  • lou_dare Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

    @virginmedia any issues.. Np199gf ? No internet.. and yes I’ve checked everything 1st

  • brodyanderson_ Brody (@brodyanderson_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yeah have already called. Reports no service issues in my location despite online reporting intermittent issues this morning. Ability to book an engineer has disappeared. Help appreciated - now over 24h without connection

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

    @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  • jools067 Tinks 😁💕🥂 (@jools067) reported

    @virginmedia There never was, it always said no fault but when I called from a mobile it said there was an issue so again as a company you can't give the correct information, it's fine, I'll be shopping around for another provider for both myself and my mum and so will my sister

  • xxRushRxx3000 Rush (@xxRushRxx3000) reported

    @virginmedia I have been making regular payments as the contract suggests, and in return all I’ve got no consistent internet connection and your customer care people hanging up my call. Please put me out of my misery and end my services at this point🙏🏼

  • Sir_Alan_ 🌙🦉 Sir_Alan_ 🎮❤️ #KnightOwlz Gaming (@Sir_Alan_) reported

    @virginmedia First night after the outage was fine, the second and third night I had drops at least a couple times per stream 🤨 Each lasting several minutes, very annoying as I had to reset all my stuff each time. I've never had this many issues consecutively before, very disappointing.

  • FentonRedbush SiBt65 (@FentonRedbush) reported

    @DarrenLaffin @BritBoxHelpUK Pointless asking as I have had that several times now and BritboxHelp were no help. However, on this occasion this is to do with Amazon cube as it works on VirginMedia box and signs in no problem

  • parrett123 Rebecca parrett (@parrett123) reported

    Finally fixed today thanks to Richard from Ireland - the only sensible agent who took my near breakdown to help us then got cut off. £20 compensation won’t even cover the phone bill from our phone for 4 hours on Virgin Media. It’s a joke!!!!

  • toriamm Vickie Brain (@toriamm) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp No issue on service page showing. Home virgin tv box in bedroom keeps freezing, wifi keeps dropping out on multiple devices, when it is working, very slow when being used by more than one device…,not what expect from so say ultra fibre i lag for !

  • watling_simon simon watling (@watling_simon) reported

    @BBCWatchdog id like comapnys and virgin media customer services practices to be looked at companies should not be allowed to confuse and lie to customers for over 3 hours there a joke and theres alot of other people feel the same

  • summatandnowt Jon F (@summatandnowt) reported

    @virginmedia No end of issues. Broadband & TV down in BD16 & no answer from your ‘call centre’ paying £100 a month for this? Contract ends in 2 weeks… your call! 🤬

  • CoderSjb sjb (@CoderSjb) reported

    @virginmedia It was from your tech support

  • kalbor3 kalbor (@kalbor3) reported

    @virginmedia Weirdly I am aware of how to check the service via your website. But it’s amazing how come @virginmedia left me again without any service again in less than 3 days! Shame on you! Useless. @richardbranson fix your service
