-
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
-
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.
-
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!!!
-
Paul Ivins 🏴 ♎ 💙🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇪🇺 (@ivinsp) reported from Cardiff, Wales@richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

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!!!
-
Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I think it was more a BBC source issue rather than VM wide. The lip sync is just every so slightly out but seemed very put on strictly last night
-
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
-
Tim Burns (@TimmyGrunt) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??
-
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.
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.
-
Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Hi - are you going to help me with the issue with your servers @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp please? No emails between my Outlook and your servers since Thursday.
-
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…!
-
NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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!
-
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.
-
damian Kerlin 🏳️🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?
-
Jonny Ex 🏴 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported from Cathays, WalesImagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

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?

Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported@virginmedia I have heard from a distressed customer who’s having their correspondence CONTINUALLY ignored by your CEO’s office AND your “resolutions” office. You have also decided to substantially increase their monthly payments before their contract has ended. UNACCEPTABLE!!
-
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?
