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.

Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.
-
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.
-
Behnaz (@behnazakhgar) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I am trying to terminate the account. Its for my dad's house and need it done before the 3rd of March.
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnybody 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
-
Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?
-
Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, WalesWifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.
-
Paul Burnell (@Paulyb65) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!
-
Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, WalesI feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.
-
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!!!

Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reportedThe Government is asking its TDs to vote against a Sinn Féin proposal to begin preparations for a United Ireland. The bill, being debated in the Dáil this evening, would require the Government to establish a Citizens' Assembly on Irish unity. Ministers say the proposal is being rushed and that the issue requires a broader, more considered approach. More on Virgin Media PLAY. #VMNews

Dafydd L Thomas (@thomas2279) reported@virginmedia My friends experiencing on and off issues with patchy service, poor reliability and ever increasing telecom bills that they are seriously considering cancelling (if they can) and going elsewhere, do better virgin, although my isp is poor as well sometimes and will consider swap

fatmogs1 🐎 (@fatmogs1) reported@virginmedia What about poor O2 customers who have been trying for months, with loads of wasted hours of listening to hold music, to unlock their accounts. I have been told 17 times now that it would be sorted, still not sorted. I think I’ll need to move all my family’s phones.
-
Reb (@UserrReb) reportedOfcom has ordered #VirginMedia to check that every affected customer who complained has received the compensation or other remedies to which they may be entitled within the next six months. A disgusting company that no-one should touch.
-
Victor (@winningearly) reportedVirgin Media O2 has acknowledged that its customer service fell below expected standards during the period investigated. The company says it has since made significant improvements to its cancellation processes, customer service operations and staff training.
-
chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported@Ofcom @virginmedia love this!!! They’ve been at this for years!! Hanging up on customers! I hope it affects their staff now. Because ultimately it’s the company that gets fined for this, not the rude, stuck up staff they’ve got working for the company
