    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

    @virginmedia I think it was more a BBC source issue rather than VM wide. The lip sync is just every so slightly out but seemed very put on strictly last night

  • andylance1977
    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.

    @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

    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.

    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!!!

    @virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄

    Virgin media plan has gone up 300% £65 to £219 and then wrongly disclosed on email private details of another virgin customer breaking GDPR rules. #worstcustimerservice #notbotheredaboutvirgincustomers @Virgin @MartinSLewis @GDPRbreaches

  • VikramRajpara09

    @virginmedia I pay for a service which is not active and not working. Goodwill doesn’t come into the equation.

    @VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.
