    @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

  • brodyanderson_
    Brody (@brodyanderson_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yeah have already called. Reports no service issues in my location despite online reporting intermittent issues this morning. Ability to book an engineer has disappeared. Help appreciated - now over 24h without connection

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

  • edmorrispt
    Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Wifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home

  • philscully
    𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered

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

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  • paulo1927
    Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

  • j_bettany
    Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So 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

  • 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 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!!! 😠😠

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

  • MrZacJamesB
    Mr B’s History (@MrZacJamesB) reported

    @virginmedia has had at least 3 outages in the past week in my area. Becoming all too common and I work from home… my phone signal (for data usage) with O2 is also conveniently incredibly poor. Is there something we should be aware of?

  • LordCornelius2
    LordCornelius (@LordCornelius2) reported

    Anyone else's laptop struggling recently in the heat? The situation isn't helped by @virginmedia broadband being down longer and more often than Angela Rayner's knickers.

  • Ash_GW
    Ash (@Ash_GW) reported

    Oi @virginmedia yer service is awful. What am I paying you for when I'm having to now watch the game on mobile data? Wastemen

  • ASoria34455
    Alicia Folge (@ASoria34455) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how can you leave customers without access to internet for days in 2026? I just came back from South America & when we had a problem it was fixed within the hour, you really can’t do better?

  • elainerust
    Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve sent a direct message but have received an auto response identical to the message you have already sent me. Is anyone prepared to help?

  • William_fleet_
    Will (@William_fleet_) reported

    @upmyallie This is why my mum left Virgin Media and went over to Vodafone; it is so much better, and we never have any issues.

  • Jason29wctb

    @virginmedia @LDA74 First complaint was made 3/1/2023 and got worse

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Ultra_IPTV10  offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • 2124Jim
    james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported

    @virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.

  • johnmalcolm1970
    John Malcolm (@johnmalcolm1970) reported

    @virginmedia WTF is up with your service lately in PA1? I've logged 309 disconnections in the past week (101 of those in the past day - 439 in month). All I get from your service status page is "Intermittent signal in your area". Is it the weather? Do I need a new hub?
