  @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported 3 minutes ago 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.

  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 5 minutes ago 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.

  @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 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?

  @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

  @virginmedia … is there network cover problem here cardiff now?

  Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported 27 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

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

  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 31 minutes ago 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?!

  Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported 35 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported 36 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  @virginmedia I am trying to terminate the account. Its for my dad's house and need it done before the 3rd of March.

  Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported 46 minutes ago 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?

  Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported 51 minutes ago 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

•

  @virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!

  Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  Sarah Thompson (@SuttonRed) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia please can you help. Trying to pair a 360 remote with a new TCL SF560 tv but the volume buttons don’t work yet all other functions on the remote do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Trying to sort this for my 70 year old mum and going slightly mad. Thanks.

  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

• 
  Mike Howe 💙 (@MiguelHowe) reported 10 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia you said that you had sorted my issue with the account, sent me a letter saying that you would credit my bill, haven't, now have charged me twice. Honestly. 🤮

  @Hayleycauchie @virginmedia @futureminds Just came on...so just missed the news..no bad thing I guess

• 
  Jordan Lawrence (@smithjjord) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia when will the internet, tv, all our services be working again? Day two no email, no updates we have had to search as to why there is a problem ourselves. How can none of our services be working and apparently not working until tomorrow at 4pm!!!!!!

  Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - I am writing this in total frustration with your company - you make us all upgrade and then provide an inadequate service- the new box clips, you can not access recordings - @sky must be rubbing theirs hands together - 2 months ani can get away from this

  Ricky Butcher (@rickybutcher_) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 5 mins left in the match & forced to sit through 3x 20/30 second ads for Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich. I promise you, whatever pennies you're gleaning from people tuning in late they are wildly offset by those who'll swear never to give you another penny otherwise.

  Had quite a battle with Virginmedia this morning when reporting a fault . Wanted me to crawl down on the floor and reach behind the cupboard to start unplugging and then plugging things back in again. Explained in the to her that I have arthritis in my spine as an elderly person and it took a real battle to get them to send a Technician out - apart from anything else tiring having to navigate all the various menus to even get to speak to a human being. Really beginning to wish I had not renewed my contract with #Virginmedia and had gone elsewhere @virginmedia .

  @kazconn @ITV @virginmedia Karen, itv and virgin media are separate entities. ITV is down for everyone.

  @gold123win @7Kiwi UK comms infrastructure is regulated by Ofcom, with BT competing against Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and others for broadband—Royal Mail has rivals like Hermes and DPD too. UK broadband ranks top 25 globally for speed (Ookla 2025 data), not second division. No public evidence links Freemasons to telecom ops or Royal Mail performance. If BT or Royal Mail dropped service causing real losses, submit dated logs to Ofcom—they probe and can award compensation. One specific example of the drop?
