    @virginmedia we’ve been having trouble with our internet all morning went through your service status and did the checks and it said there was a problem and booked engineer to come out tomorrow and now all of a sudden it’s started working so can I cancel the engineer please

    @FizzyM7 @brumsongsben @virginmedia Someone has also tweeted that the estimated fix is around 6:05 but not sure how accurate this is

  • sb208
    Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have been waiting a reply on your message service in the app since 22nd March for someone to tell me my bill amount has changed. Call centres closed and text number not replying except standard computer answers! Poor service

  • SophieCloake
    Sophie Cloake (@SophieCloake) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @VodafoneUK don’t be fooled by the cheap internet deals!! You’ll be sat in the house waiting for the engineer to never arrive and then call to find out what is happening and no one knows! #fantastic #useless #sticktovirginmedia @virginmedia

  • soozles_
    Soozles (@soozles_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia can’t get through to speak to anyone on the phone. I want to remove sky sports from my account whilst there are no sports actually on. I’m outside of my contract now so it shouldn’t be an issue

  • jsetch
    jane setchfield (@jsetch) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia appreciate these are difficult times for us all but I am locked out of my account and have tried all solutions offered on the website. Help please - working from home requires email access

  • _eeelhsa
    Ashxox (@_eeelhsa) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia We’ve tried three times to raise a complaint with you. And this magical game appeared after the second complaint (the same day) to which the man on the phone was rude, spoke over me and implied my business wasn’t needed or respected at all.

  • Welshcake74
    welshcake74 (@Welshcake74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hi my grandparents are mid 80s they were due to transfer to Sky in a few weeks. I don’t want anyone entering their house and need your help to extend their services ufn so they have tv, WiFi and phone line for emergency. Help please

  • _eeelhsa
    Ashxox (@_eeelhsa) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m not going to log a complaint online, I tried to complain on the phone and just get put on hold and spoken to awfully, I will be taking this further.

  • sb208

    @virginmedia still no resolution!

    @virginmedia I have been with virgin media for years, the service I’ve been receiving in the past year has been terrible, I cannot wait to leave

    @MattRosser @virginmedia Lol. I've just looked on my tivo and it's not as bad as the image you've posted. It's aligned differently.

  • Freeze_
    Salih Toyran (@Freeze_) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying your agents to fix my user name and password for almost 7 weeks!!! I’ve spent hours on the call and I’ve been made numerous promises but none of them kept. Still today agent telling me I should wait 2-3 weeks to fix this. This is beyond the pale!!!

  • kennythekilt
    kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

  • robmarshall83
    Rob Marshall (@robmarshall83) reported

    @virginmedia No. But got an email to say I had regardless. The call got cut off but didn't receive a call back. All very disappointing considering I've used your service for the last approx. 20 years.

  • kennythekilt
    kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported

    @virginmedia Having trouble did you read the text I’m having a break then I’ll get back to you!!! What kind of customer service is that ??

  • robmarshall83
    Rob Marshall (@robmarshall83) reported

    @virginmedia On demand hasn't worked properly for weeks. I pay every month and don't have the time to call each time it goes down. Basically told its not a big deal as its not a full service outage. I can get @skytv for £40 a month less.

  • RossFraserE17
    Ross Fraser (@RossFraserE17) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have. Doesn’t give any information as to why there’s an outage or@why it may take until tomorrow to fix it. More information needed please

  • ThatProgrammer
    ThatProgrammer (@ThatProgrammer) reported

    Been on hold for 15 minutes with @vmbusiness trying to get my number moved to my new @virginmedia service.. I'm losing it with this music which is way too loud for phone lines to handle so it's very disrupted.

  • mnaved
    Mohamed Naved (@mnaved) reported

    @virginmedia Have been talking to all sorts of people without any answers. I get the same answer that we will get back to you within 48 hours. Days and months have passed. No answer. So no point in calling the sales team. Waste of time. VERY POOR SERVICE.

  • Jack_07_Daniel
    Aspire to Inspire (@Jack_07_Daniel) reported

    @virginmedia Problem is the deals for existing customers are worse than for new customers. Which means it doesn’t pay to be loyal. I’m on my 30 day cooling off period and I’m looking at going with communityfibre. I’ll probably look at getting my dad to cancel his move to Virgin Media too.

    @notsupermum @virginmedia I’ve been with Sky nearly 10 years and never had any problems
