-
Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported 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?

MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia @Dionne96310374 We weren’t offered that when ours went down
-
Paul Burnell (@Paulyb65) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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!!
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.
-
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?
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue! I’ve changed my password, run a security scan and still not getting emails or able to send. What do you suggest I do now please?? @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia
-

Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks
-
Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England@10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.
-
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!
-
Dom Silva (@DomSilva2) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Hi our internet is going to be down for 2 days. I have a business acc with you with phone line will I be compensated for inconvenience? 😡

Paul Ivins 🏴 ♎ 💙🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇪🇺 (@ivinsp) reported from Cardiff, Wales@richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT
-
mz f Drennan (@mz_drennan) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia you ,mean the awful service you usually provide is even worse,,
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, WalesProperly 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
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.
-
Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported 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
-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, WalesAlleluia @virginmedia Just taken one month to have most issues resolved. Feedback: less silos in customer service so they can see all issues and be more helpful.

Lee Hustle Malone (ACC INACTIVE/NOT MONITORED) (@MaloneHustle) reported@heavyspoilers I think Virgin Media is down mate don’t sweat it.
-
Andy 🏴🇬🇧 (@wos_occuring) reported@virginmedia @mobily_uk Why can’t you just offer the best service at the best price. This miserable dance goes on all over the UK.
-
James Munro (@eripley8) reported@virginmedia @mobily_uk Can you drop the smiling emoji Virgin. It really is absurdly patronising and shows that you're just laughing at us rather than genuinely trying to help
-
David Whiteside (@yardley_canary) reported@virginmedia are in top 3 worst companies I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. They may even be top. Rude, expensive, evasive, and unreliable. What started as a simple investigation into switching for cost reasons has now made me resolute in my decision! Disgusting!
-
stu marklow (@stuuee) reportedget virgin media e-mail to have free use of tnt sports on hbo max for free yay,so sign in i can browse what they have but click to watch DENIED give us some ££££ and your in. thanks for nout virgin.👆
-
ndbchnn (@ndbchnn) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia can you please update me on the service in m30 - it’s been 48 hours no wifi, heating or television.
-
Jenny Roberts (@Miss_JRO85) reported@virginmedia This would have been useful to know but I wasn’t told this by any of the 4 agents I spoke to. An engineer called me to explain he had fixed the issue - a rusty screw stopping the connection for 8 houses. He was super helpful. Shame no one on the phone could be clear and helpful.
-
CymroGlyn 🏳️🌈🏴🏉🍾♿️ (@cymroglyn) reported@virginmedia You should be keeping an eye out for this sort of criminal activity, creates profiles for most large UK companies so they can reply to any complaints and get the customer to download software so they can compensation…and rob them. Report them to X
-
AdamB® (@OfficialAdamB) reported@mobily_uk @virginmedia It's for this Amazing service u get that's never changed since you first joined just 1 massive scam. F*****g joke of a company and everyone needs to start looking else we're especially Internet wise there is far better and cheaper and most probably fix price.
