Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, EnglandSo many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty
-

LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …
-
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.
-
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
-
Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales@rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia
-
Charl Balcombe (@CharlBalcombe) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Having serious disconnection issues with my WiFi (CF24) - is there anything that can be done? Can you help? WFH this week has been painful
-
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.
-
Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, WalesHi @virginmedia can I please have some assistance? Thw WiFi keeps dropping out since yesterday. I am WFH so this is causing lots of problems. I have contacted you via live chat but I am getting no reply after answering sec questions. I am based in Splott, Cardiff.
-
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?
-
Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!
-
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?

Michael De La Broc (@MDeLaBroc1) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Last MARCH I went in store to enquire about a new, better priced broadband contract or to disconnect. I was going abroad for at the time, but wanted something better when I got back, I was sold on a new contract. Apparently my previous account should have been closed there and then. In September my service is cut off with no explanation, I do most of my work online so this is obviously bad, I got in contact, turns out my direct debit was still going to the supposedly cancelled account, not the current one, for the next three months I have a never ending series of chats on the phone or online chatbot to try and figure out what is going on. I can't log into virgin media online, because the credentials I used, take me to a placeholder screen, because the account is deleted or something, I don't know, no one can tell me. I go abroad in December, come back in January, same problem, the internet is disconnected for ''non payment'', all payments, are still, going to a an account that was supposed to be deleted or merged into my current one a year ago. every other month I am having to redo the same chat on their chatbot, followed by a customer complaints phonecall with some arrogant Indian who barely speaks English and doesn't understand what I am trying to tell him. And every month this goes on for, they are charging me a £7 late fee and even letter saying the price for the contract I am barely receiving service from is going up due to inflation. Truly is an absolute travesty this company, I am just going to cut the entire thing loose and go to StarLink the next time this happens, which I expect will be in two weeks going by the near monthly disconnects I am put through
-
Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported@virginmedia Hey I was told earlier by customer services on IM that an engineer will come to fix or replace my WiFi hub on Friday, but I haven’t received any email or text confirmation. Will one be forthcoming?
-
Scott Osborn (@Drscooto) reported@virginmedia Is this still a problem? I just rebooted my STB and now it useless with a CS1010 error.
-
VoW Silla (@VoWSilla) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I phoned virgin due to having extremely slow Internet. They tried to sell me several other packages that would make me "wifi" faster as extra costs but insist I got the best speeds. And before I ended the call we were discussing mobile phone contracts that has nothing to do with my speed and I was honest to say, I can tell you are trying to sell me products that will not improve your service.
-
Michael Clarkson (@ria_747) reported@Stephencheatley @virginmedia Just get freeview or freesat, Stephen. I’ve got Virgin media broadband and to be fair I’ve never had any problems.
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment
-
Lou D🌹 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@louderry) reported@virginmedia no Internet for 2 days saying won't be fixed until Friday, I thought southern water was the worst, you've proved me wrong.
-
Poppyfields18 (@Novemberpoppy82) reported@virginmedia why on earth is my internet so slow. Only been with you 2 months and it is terrible for the past 3 days. My son is trying to revise for his GCSEs for 2 exams tomorrow and this is not good. Nothing will load. Get this sorted asap
-
Ryan Stringer (@RyanStringer72) reported@IamCarrieagain @virginmedia Cancel them. Go elsewhere. You shouldn't be paying for something your not getting. They are bullies. I don't understand why people pay for these services.
-
v (@uraniumfroge) reported@virginmedia Every day it’s just “wait until tomorrow” with no real update, no installation date and no communication yet we’re being threatened with huge cancellation fees despite having no service at all. Can someone please actually take ownership of this situation?😡😡😡
