andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@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
-
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
-
lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice
-
LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …
-
Justine (@Justine_F1) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Looking for an update for the CF3 outage.. Channels have been off over 6 hours now Telephone too. Please advise
-
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!
-
Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, EnglandSo many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!
-
Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I think it was more a BBC source issue rather than VM wide. The lip sync is just every so slightly out but seemed very put on strictly last night
-
🏴⚽️🏉Gareth Lloyd 🏉⚽️🏴 (@GarethLloyd18) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia awful customer service
-
Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales@virginmedia any issues.. Np199gf ? No internet.. and yes I’ve checked everything 1st
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.
-
damian Kerlin 🏳️🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?
-
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 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!!!
-
Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, WalesWifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia @O2 Talking to a cmsr service rep at the mo, absolutely crap!!
-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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.

-
Spike Lawson (@SpikeLawson1) reported@virginmedia What is it with the total indifference shown by virgin media? Service is down and we get three different timescales to fix it! They have obviously forgotten that we customers pay for their company
-
Mrs c (@w47carr) reportedWhen you have to use 4g because @virginmedia is down due to storm 😡😡
-
GB Food Finder (@britfoodfinder) reported@DanAaronTaylor @virginmedia Same issue
-
Steven Byron (@StevenByro) reported@virginmedia With respect it’s been 2 weeks. Everyone seems to be reporting the same issue and you keep giving them different stories if you look down the replies and you’re yet to put out any sort of official statement.
-
N (@NathanCourtney9) reported@virginmedia internets down again. The reliability of this MULTI BILLION pound business is crazy. Im super glad they’ve partnered up with my network provider @O2 who are also just as unreliable. My decisions as an adult are awfully bad.
-
Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported@MattyBeer @virginmedia Its broadband and TV but I've had more than enough of the terrible service
-
Brian N (@BrianNicholso16) reported@markenello @virginmedia Been through the frustrations too Mark. Almost made my blood boil, cut off several times while on long calls and took ages to manage to leave. Had issues afterwards too. Moved to EE and really happy and a UK call centre with very helpful folk. Fifty pounds a month less too!
-
markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported@virginmedia it's been said that service should resume 16:00 tomorrow?
-
Ugly Balaclava (@uglybalaclava) reported@andyvanstan @virginmedia It’s been down since 10am Tuesday, no TV or broadband in the CF63 and CF62 area, Barry, Wales

dAve Fletcher 🦉 (@_dAveFletcher_) reported@virginmedia Maybe it's just premiers that I can't watch, The Bride, The Running Man etc.... I can watch older stuff. That's poor form!
