    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

    @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.

    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 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?

    @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

  • 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.

    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

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

    @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

    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".

    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  • blue_murdock

    @virginmedia … is there network cover problem here cardiff now?

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

    @virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    @Ripple300X did you ever get to the bottom of your packet loss issues on Downbad? Speaking to Joby he says you had to stop playing. Having the same issue elsewhere or only on Downbad? I'm trying to talk to Virgin Media just now.

  • Jools_Orca
    Jools (@Jools_Orca) reported

    @lsrlinda I’m pretty sure many have struggled with very poor English or a similarly strong accent. My neighbour is hard of hearing and swapped Virgin Media for BT due to such struggles.

  • kamran360
    Kamran360 (@kamran360) reported

    @virginmedia as a loyal Customer all you want is a good service and for your Internet to be working but it’s so difficult to get through to you. I’ve lost out on a days work. If it continues I would be cancelling my direct debit due to lack of Customer Service and lack of servic

    @virginmedia I’m trying to login to my account but I’m getting an error code of IDF-12B, how can I pay my bill or get in the app? It’s not recognising my email even though I’m getting my email bills from you

    @virginmedia We want to sign up but you are saying there is already a order with this address and that you would contact us and you never did.

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???

  • BryMillan
    Bryan Millan (@BryMillan) reported

    Every Wednesday without fail from about 8:30pm we have an intermittent signal issue with @virginmedia, we pay enough not to have these issues every week. Get it sorted!

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473
