-
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!!!
-
Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, WalesUpgrading 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
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, EnglandHi @virginmedia @helpvirginmedia @VirginMediaCorp why won’t my Outlook connect to your server? No emails for 3 days. It’s an issue your end yet no help from your tech team.
-
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!!!
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.
-
Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales@daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

-
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.
-
Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!
-
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!!!

He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia hi, over a month ago now I was told that I would receive a cheque through the post with my refund! A refund I should of got 3months ago! Virgin Media's customer service is the worst I've ever experienced!
-
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?
-
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?
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

Caz (@caz_fizz) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin made all customer care off shore and made us all redundant, just so they can save money...but in the process are losing their customers.

-
Sean Austin 316 (@seanaustin1985) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia I worked for VM as a tech and I wasnt one of them but it was common practice by some rltwchs to feather knock so they could put the job off and blame the customer for not being in..
-
Frankie Smith (@frankiesmith74) reported@virginmedia you have failed to install broadband at my new property as part of home move service. I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible

Truthwillsetyoufree (@Truthwills26171) reported@RakeLark @handsomedave32 @VirginMediaNews What personal issues, my disgust at the race baiting grifters and the morons who support them? If that’s a personal issue I’ll happily hold it. Where did I say it wasn’t a concern or problem? I stated facts about Virgin Media, & that many agencies can get state funds!
-
Max Pallas (@SuddenLife) reported@gloucesterglass @virginmedia Mobile phone signal in Tewkesbury is virtually non existent. I can’t send SMS text inside my home, there no 5G, and I get a weak 4G on Tewkesbury bypass. Fortunately, I have good WiFi, YouFibre 900mb for £24 monthly.
