    @virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.

    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • 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!!!

    Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff

    @virginmedia Hi can someone help me I'm trying to log in to my account but keeps saying there's a problem at your end

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

    @virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

  • SewScandalous
    Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

  • Welsh_Saint14
    Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

  • 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?

  • George66Steve
    Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • cymboi
    MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @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?

    It would be easier to get blood out of a stone that get password help from #virginmedia

    @Benleo @virginmedia I think most companies have rubbish customer service. Only good thing about Virgin is their broadband is decent

    @virginmedia i have tried that several times before , i am away until friday and if when i get home its still not working properly i will try again , it happened a couple of months ago and they sent an engineer out, but by the time he arrived the service was working properly

    @Benleo @virginmedia All these companies are as bad as each other. Maximum price for minimum service.

  • Mikefromtheuk
    Mike (@Mikefromtheuk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are truly terrible. If you simply want an internet connection and you don't have any problems, you might be okay, but as soon as anything goes wrong you hit their awful customer service. I had intermittent problems and it took months to get resolved, I then went to Sky asap.

  • sithsayer
    sjb (@sithsayer) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They gave me a CCJ because they failed to action my notice and I complained, so they ignored the complaint in and pursued me for the month although had a PAC . I refused to pay it the never wrote to me. They just put a CCJ on me. @virginmedia WORST INTERNET COMPANY IN BRITAIN..

    @O2 hello, I am looking at purchasing a new sim through my blue light discount. My mum is currently locked out of her account after purchasing a new sim herself. I have recently bought a new phone & have virgin media volt benefits, will I encounter any issues?
