    @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

  • macauc01
    Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • SewScandalous
    Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  • Welsh_Saint14
    Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • MaartenSleeckx
    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".

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  • stfcjoner1986
    Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hi @virginmedia can I please have some assistance? Thw WiFi keeps dropping out since yesterday. I am WFH so this is causing lots of problems. I have contacted you via live chat but I am getting no reply after answering sec questions. I am based in Splott, Cardiff.

  • 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

  • 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????

  • gareth_thmpsn
    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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • MaartenSleeckx
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    @virginmedia Tips please to get my email outbox going after changing password. Due to a hack. Outgoing not working!!!

  • Lulette5772
    C B (@Lulette5772) reported

    @virginmedia why is your app so useless, can’t do anything with it as any actions takes you to chat. You’re forced to chat/call VM for everything. My contract is ending, so had to call VM, a torturous experience. After 30minutes on hold achieved basically nothing. It’s so poor

  • fredbeare
    Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported

    Why is such a pain to contact @virginmedia to become a new customer, and even when you do the sales team don’t listen. Will just stick with BT not because they’re good, just because Virgin don’t listen

  • missjnyc1
    Jeanette (@missjnyc1) reported

    @virginmedia Spent an hour and half on the phone with your customer care team. They couldn’t tell me why they hadn’t turned up, no way of contacting them. Have booked another slot for tomorrow, the team wouldn’t even read the number I had just given them 2/3

  • EgalGeordie
    Egalitarian Geordie (@EgalGeordie) reported

    @nftholbein @csljohnkirby @O2 Yea I switched to EE after nearly 20 years with O2. They seem to have taken every awful part of Virgin Media since the merger. Would never trust them again.

  • argyledavros
    Dave Warrilow (@argyledavros) reported

    Massive problems with @virginmedia in #Southend. Broadband hasn't been working properly for over a week. Service checker keeps changing excuse, so you can't book and engineer. Tried calling on hold for half an hour then cut off. Shocking service.

  • epwhamilton
    Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported

    @virginmedia my hub is flashing green this evening. Reset is not helping. Area 31 I think but no issues shown on the site

  • Pass_Move
    WATCHING THE GAME (@Pass_Move) reported

    @virginmedia The diabolical technology and dreadful customer service response continues. How helpful to be told it won’t be until June 12th until the issue is resolved. Easily the worst company I’ve ever dealt with and worst of all, no one seems to care. A case study in abysmal service.

  • arvey86
    CJH1883 (@arvey86) reported

    @virginmedia are crooks, taking advantage of a vulnerable person. Sold a product never set up as no engineer arrived after numerous requests. Calling to try and bully them into a paying for a service they cancelled that was not fit for purpose, disgusting scum.

  • Oxford_Life
    In Oxford (@Oxford_Life) reported

    @virginmedia I would assume it will always show that info incorrectly since your site seems to be outdated and not taking account of the fact that with phone-via-router when your broadband is down so is your phone!

  • fp2072
    FordPrefect (@fp2072) reported

    @virginmedia 20+ years of being with you and I'm leaving as you want to charge me nearly 50% more than a new customer, go figure
