-
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?
-
LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …
-
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.
-
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!!
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

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
-
lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesWord of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@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.
-
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?
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!
-
Andrew Wilcox 🛖 Shedified (@unclewilco) reported from Penarth, WalesBeen lucky all day my #virginmedia has not been down at all, 5pm & it's down Pub? #VirginMediaoutage
-
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.
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 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?!
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.

Dadaldo (@HRH_Duke_of_Url) reportedVirgin Media are the worst. They strong armed me into a ****** deal to take out an O2 sim for £5 a month just to get affordable broadband. Now when my broadband's down, which happens weekly, I check their online service checker and it bounces me to a virgin02 sign in page.

dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported@virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?
