    @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.

    @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.

    hey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

  • SATempest
    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!!!

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • philscully
    𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered

  • LaurenKetchley
    LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

  • andylance1977
    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

  • GillibrandPeter
    Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

    @virginmedia cannot make or receive calls over 24hrs now, no 4g told outage in NP10 area how long is this going to last please? #virginmobile #outage

  • 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.

    So @virginmedia after 15 years as a customer for broadband don’t deem you worthy of a recordable 360 box if you want to use them as a sole provider instead of Sky and only offer a streaming box that won’t work if your internet goes down. #AwfulCustomerService #Sky

  • gyoldsingleman
    oldman (@gyoldsingleman) reported

    @CliveR39 @virginmedia @virginmedia this problem is ongoing now for at least 10 days, I want to watch on tv not the app. I pay for this service!!! Why is it so difficult to resolve?

  • Chris4RAFC
    Chris4RAFC (@Chris4RAFC) reported

    @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia my son had the same problem but lucky he went to the Wycombe match on Saturday but tonight had to watch it via the sky sports app as he is with Virgin too, luckily I am with sky and could watch my team Saturday on the red button and i watched a game tonight and no issues

  • wheelslimshady_
    WHEELSlimShady ♿️ (@wheelslimshady_) reported

    @soarizard @elliviant Tbf mine is usually about £125, rn it’s down to like £76 but I also have tv package with Virgin Media. I have all the sports channels and so I do pay a lot, but I’m not sure how much my broadband is separately! But yes, mine WHEELY fast 🤘🏻🤓

  • RyanCartiers
    RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @virginmedia The delayed call back does not change corp. #customerservice practice or reduce long lead times plaguing @Bell - ANSWERING customer calls when called is needed. - Stopping the use of unproven AI. - Address consistent #customersupport deficiencies reported online.

    @GazzaAdams @virginmedia I've had them twice at two different addresses. They Internet was ALWAYS up and down. So unreliable. Never again.

  • adelux68
    Ade Luxton (@adelux68) reported

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx So how much are we getting off next Months bill as you charge us for a service you are not providing

  • Schmuley_Schlo
    Meersham (@Schmuley_Schlo) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I chose plusnet because their customer service is good, never had much trouble been with them for years now after switching every couple of years

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    Appalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!

    johnhughes (@JFab208) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 In the mean time you could go and watch the matcb in person despite the fact we’ve paid for a tv service you’re not providing
