    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

    @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!!!

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

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

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

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

  • carolgladwin

    @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

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

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • stuart_chc
    Stuart Ropke (@stuart_chc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • 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.

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia Hi - are you going to help me with the issue with your servers @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp please? No emails between my Outlook and your servers since Thursday.

  • algro10
    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • orangethunder_
    Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.

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

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

    Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

    @virginmedia Hello. Broadband/internet has been down for a while this morning(three separate devices not working since mid morning). Is there a general outage or is this likely to be a local, to me, issue? In Scotland Thanks for any assistance you can give

  • laserblue
    Graham Booth (@laserblue) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it seems my set top box is on the blink and my chances of watching my beloved Man City maybe at risk. I could switch to Nowtv, but that will cost me £15 for a 24hr pass. I've used the tips as featured in the trouble shooting guide. No luck. Can you help? Thanks

  • palmer606
    Andrew palmer (@palmer606) reported

    @virginmedia ur service is poor and as for ur customer services/ help is even worse, tried for 3 nights to call = no answer and online help is rubbish as soon as up for renewal I’ll be off to @skytv

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer replaced the Hub. Intermittent internet was still a problem after that but has been good for the past 4 hours. Fingers crossed.

    @virginmedia Hi, Are there some ongoing issues in the HA7 area? We seem be having internet issues over the last few weeks with no internet. Thank you
