    @virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

    Oh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.

    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.

    Word 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

    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • 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.

  • damianKerlin
    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?

  • NobbyD27
    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  • 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

  • 3_monk
    Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

  • macauc01
    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

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Alleluia @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.

  • MsWhippet1
    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_thmpsn
    Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

    Kevin Davies (@CCFCGrapes) reported

    @virginmedia @George66Steve Sounds like a standard AI response. At least they did not say we value your custom. They could send you a message that says try this number and speak to one of our multitude of customer service agents.

    @MichelleBeckett Truly awful. I worked in customer services for a very long time and @virginmedia just needs to get better. It's never about the profits, it's what you're doing for the customer. Put yourself in Michelle's shoes. How would YOU like to be treated like this?! I'm sorry Michelle.

    @virginmedia No response for my DM No Wifi Called customer service and no result and still no any update or information about the outage. I will complain about Virgin Media.

    @dublinvoter I will never pay my licence fee again. This joke of a broadcaster all ready receives revenue from advertising like virgin media, they will survive without the licence money if they stop paying stupid wages to talentless hacks.

  • Borgbunny
    Dave or David (@Borgbunny) reported

    @virginmedia could you give us more information as to why the predicted time of resolution for fixing the service outage in Kent is 8pm tonight? Does it take that long to really reboot everything?

    @virginmedia I left your service in June 26 after well over a decade with VM. Since that time I've been spammed with multiple emails saying' We’d love to ask you a few questions about your recent experience.' I am not here for your quality control. I am now with a rival of yours.
