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?

Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen 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.
-
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.

James Ferris (@jamesf61) reported@virginmedia Could you get any worse? 3 weeks of no reliable broadband. Customer service suggesting i cancel because they don't know when it will be fixed. Pathetic.
-
Si (@Si_67) reported@virginmedia Our broadband has recently started to fail on a daily basis. It has been fairly reliable until a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it comes back after a while, but this really isn't good enough in 2026, especially bearing in mind how much it costs. What's happening?
-
Dr Allyson Edwards 👻 (@AllysonEdwards1) reportedHaving consistent problems with my @virginmedia broadband, & have just had the update that they hope to resolve the problem by Tuesday... I work from home, so how will it work to not have access to the internet for the next 2-3 days? I'm having to hotspot my pc.
