  @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

  @virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!

  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 15 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 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!

  Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

  @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

  @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

  LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported 35 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 36 minutes ago 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!!!

• 
  Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported 39 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.

  Behnaz (@behnazakhgar) reported 40 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

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

• 
  Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported 48 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

• 
  Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported 48 minutes ago from Cwmbran Central, Wales

  @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

• 
  Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported 50 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?

• 
  MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported 50 minutes ago from St. Julians, Wales

  @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

  @virginmedia awful customer service

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 57 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?!

• 
  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 59 minutes ago 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!!!

  Samet (@Samet_UK) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.

• 
  Gold (@MoonwalkOnGold) reported 8 minutes ago

  But then again I saw a news report about @virginmedia customers this past week so I'm not surprised @VirginAtlantic is just as bad. Terrible!

• 
  CJ 🍉🌈 (@____CJ______) reported 9 minutes ago

  @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK They are so out of touch it's unreal. I recently had to phone virgin media "bereavement and critical illness line", a relative has terminal cancer, but yet they can't offer monthly rolling contracts? We had to sign up for a min 2 year contract? It's disgusting. I'll never go VM!

• 
  Kilsally Redux (@Kilsally_Redux) reported 10 minutes ago

  Virgin Media O2 is gearing up to provide wholesale access to its network to challenge the dominance of BT. But it said Openreach was seeking to “choke” off competition before it had truly begun by luring third party companies away.

  Shaun (@shauny67) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @weyland76 From your picture it is not a Virgin issue it's your device, it's not released the network connection from the mobile connection. Best response is to restart to device then will connect stop blaming Virgin

  @virginmedia @ThatsTVOfficial please explain why you have removed your service from virgin please

  @UglyGeezer @virginmedia I’m so sorry, Lee. That’s awful. Thinking of you

• 
  +(_)/\/\%|€ ©°°| (@tumble_cool) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I left your service in June 26 after well over a decade with VM. Since that time I've been spammed with multiple emails saying' We’d love to ask you a few questions about your recent experience.' I am not here for your quality control. I am now with a rival of yours.

• 
  Michelle Beckett (@MichelleBeckett) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can you help with this to backdate the date of termination of my father’s broadband contract to the date of his death? As other similar service providers have done without having to be asked?

• 
  Colin Smith (@smithco76) reported 29 minutes ago

  @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Same experience when my father died in September. Everyone was fantastic. Insurance, banks, utilities. Everything dealt with, no dramas & gave us plenty room & time to get paperwork. Virginmedia were horrible. Forced my mum to take out another contract before they’d close my dads
