    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • andylance1977
    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?

  • 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

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

    Word 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

  • benj8min
    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.

    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • gazthebluebird1
    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • djleekee
    Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

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

    @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  • LaurenKetchley
    LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …

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

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • 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

    Fix my internet please, I don’t have the minerals for this tonight @virginmedia

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They’re dodgy as ****, I had total loss of service for over a month, they kept closing my complaints saying it was resolved after I explicitly said not to. They also kept saying it was fixed when it wasn’t to avoid paying compensation.

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia internet at ch45 has been up and down several times in the last 24 hours. Always that it will be fixed by 16:07 tomorrow. What is going on?
