    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

    @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.

    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    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

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

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

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

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • Dazc090861
    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.

  • SATempest
    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?

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

    @virginmedia Tips please to get my email outbox going after changing password. Due to a hack. Outgoing not working!!!

  • SATempest
    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.

  • SATempest
    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!

    @virginmedia maybe have the thickest staff known to man, my dad has issues from there end accessing his emails. They can send a complaint acknowledgment to his email he can’t access. May as well say you can’t be arsed to do your jobs! #clowns

  • boomerangjf
    Jackie (@boomerangjf) reported

    @virginmedia your service is diabolical ! We are still experiencing intermittent/reduction in service after being told it would be working properly from 29 July. I assume you will be expecting a reduction in payment from me?

  • brettwill82
    Brett Williams (@brettwill82) reported

    @virginmedia @skytv don’t seem to be having this issue on there platform? Come on @virginmedia I’ve paid my subscription for the channel and I cannot see the tv listings

    Banshee (@strikecenter147) reported

    @Benleo Ben bring up your hub on virgin media I guarantee you it’s been hacked and you get a warning. This is happening all over London and I can’t get anybody to help me with it. Bring up your own Virgin media hub and you will see what I mean.

    @virginmedia Is there any more detail on the fix? It just keeps getting pushed back every couple of hours

  • KarlDyer15
    Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reported

    To work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs

  • TomQuante
    Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported

    @virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @QxPain_ @virginmedia Turn off router, turn off all devices connected via WiFi turn on router & bring up each device at a time & check WiFi & distance then will find which device is causing the issue. A router only has a certain distance will need a pod if drops out due to distance

    @virginmedia is there an issue in the sg1 area please? Our broadband has been woeful all day.
