    @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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @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

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

  • Dazc090861
    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!!

  • SATempest
    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.

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue! I’ve changed my password, run a security scan and still not getting emails or able to send. What do you suggest I do now please?? @VirginMediaCorp @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?

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

  • benj8min
    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.

  • MissAzzaB
    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, over a month ago now I was told that I would receive a cheque through the post with my refund! A refund I should of got 3months ago! Virgin Media's customer service is the worst I've ever experienced!

    @virginmedia please don't use Yodel @yodel241653 as a courier service. Pods not delivered today. Van stopped outside, and as I opened the front door he drove off without delivering the parcel. Now got to cancel plans for tomorrow to wait for parcel. Please don't use Yodel.

    @virginmedia why is my broadband off and why does this repeatedly happen? Your broadband service checker also does not currently work.

    Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported

    @virginmedia To everyone with no tv channels - try switching your box off for 2 min then on again. Mine's not worked since thursday. The service checker this morning STILL says there's problems, but i've just reset the box and it's back on
