  • _eeelhsa Ashxox (@_eeelhsa) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia We’ve tried three times to raise a complaint with you. And this magical game appeared after the second complaint (the same day) to which the man on the phone was rude, spoke over me and implied my business wasn’t needed or respected at all.

  • TheEnbyperor ⧖🔶🏳️‍🌈✨impl Cat for Q (it/its)✨🏳️‍🌈🔶⧖ (@TheEnbyperor) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @monotron_ Tbf, virgin media's network is on the shit side

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still no resolution!

  • kersy28 Simon Kerswell (@kersy28) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia and I could get £165 as a new customer through @Top_CashBack where is the incentive for me to stay with you! 😡 especially when you have harassed me with phone calls since I rang to terminate my services! Very poor!

  • QuietlyKinky Chris QK 🔞 (@QuietlyKinky) reported from Newport, Wales

    @madsmithyt @virginmedia I also have the same issue. South Wales

  • Welshcake74 welshcake74 (@Welshcake74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hi my grandparents are mid 80s they were due to transfer to Sky in a few weeks. I don’t want anyone entering their house and need your help to extend their services ufn so they have tv, WiFi and phone line for emergency. Help please

  • hannahtottle Hannah N-T (@hannahtottle) reported from Panteg, Wales

    @virginmedia I don’t want to waste more of my day doing that, I want you to do what you (publicly) said you’d do, stop lying to customers online and actually do something to help. Virgin is worth £19.5 billion, I’m sure you can make the situation I’d imagine lots of people are in bearable.

  • soozles_ Soozles (@soozles_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia we’ve been having trouble with our internet all morning went through your service status and did the checks and it said there was a problem and booked engineer to come out tomorrow and now all of a sudden it’s started working so can I cancel the engineer please

  • 7084phil Phillip Lockley (@7084phil) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have been with virgin media for years, the service I’ve been receiving in the past year has been terrible, I cannot wait to leave

  • tomgriffiths88 Tom Griffiths (@tomgriffiths88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia 54 minutes to get through then cut off x3. Trying to cancel our contract which we can't do online.

  • soozles_ Soozles (@soozles_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia can’t get through to speak to anyone on the phone. I want to remove sky sports from my account whilst there are no sports actually on. I’m outside of my contract now so it shouldn’t be an issue

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have been waiting a reply on your message service in the app since 22nd March for someone to tell me my bill amount has changed. Call centres closed and text number not replying except standard computer answers! Poor service

  • djleekee Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MattRosser @virginmedia Lol. I've just looked on my tivo and it's not as bad as the image you've posted. It's aligned differently.

  • DRJAMESOFF James Trollope (@DRJAMESOFF) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @FizzyM7 @brumsongsben @virginmedia Someone has also tweeted that the estimated fix is around 6:05 but not sure how accurate this is

  • jsetch jane setchfield (@jsetch) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia appreciate these are difficult times for us all but I am locked out of my account and have tried all solutions offered on the website. Help please - working from home requires email access

  • _eeelhsa Ashxox (@_eeelhsa) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m not going to log a complaint online, I tried to complain on the phone and just get put on hold and spoken to awfully, I will be taking this further.

  • TheDanielPage Dan (@TheDanielPage) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I know you guys are like super super busy, but please fix my internet...I’ve used my entire dvd library in lockdown and I think I’m going to go insane 🥺😂 @virginmedia

  • kersy28 Simon Kerswell (@kersy28) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer service! cancelled my services as of 21st March, rang you today to see what you could offer me to stay and you offer me the same package at £17 more expensive, but offer new customers the same deal but £5 cheaper that I currently pay!

  • littletinaob Tina Ransom (@littletinaob) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia am paying for pay boxing but have no sound!!!! Please help asap

  • SophieCloake Sophie Cloake (@SophieCloake) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @VodafoneUK don’t be fooled by the cheap internet deals!! You’ll be sat in the house waiting for the engineer to never arrive and then call to find out what is happening and no one knows! #fantastic #useless #sticktovirginmedia @virginmedia

  • e_oconnell Eleanor O’Connell (@e_oconnell) reported

    @virginmedia Its almost been a week now and the internet is still not working and cutting out on work calls, i’m not sure what’s going on with fixing the area issue but it shouldn’t take 6 days?

  • PPLOM1 Sarah Lorimer (@PPLOM1) reported

    @virginmedia Can I person contact me about this ? There is no problem with Virgin in the area I've checked with all my family and friends. It's a problem with my box so I need someone to fix it ASAP

  • L0SH none (@L0SH) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, we currently have no internet in BS8 and haven't for over an hour now. Is there a problem? Do you know when it will be fixed? Thanks

  • mbarnett87 Mark Barnett (@mbarnett87) reported

    @virginmedia Please fix your cable / broadband.

  • L0SH none (@L0SH) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, the link doesn't work but the service checker on your website is now saying that you're doing work in the area today and tomorrow and there'll likely be no service? Is that true? I have my PhD defense scheduled over zoom tomorrow morning! - I need a broadband connection!

  • aleemullah2 aleem ullah (@aleemullah2) reported

    @virginmedia I call on that number he didn’t solve my problem

  • KeeperDavey DaveyTheKeeper (@KeeperDavey) reported

  • Bellelctaylor Belle Taylor (@Bellelctaylor) reported

    @virginmedia It's 03454541111 (followed by choosing (or being transferred to) accounts/renewal). I have still yet to be able to talk to someone who can help. I was on hold for so long, they said they'd ring me back. I admittedly missed this call but have had no more attempts since.

  • dandartington Dan Dartington (@dandartington) reported

    @virginmedia It’s fine now. It came back on at full time. Somewhat bad timing to say the least

  • bromleybill Bill Torrance (@bromleybill) reported

    @virginmedia @PaulaJHowarth Excuse me @virginmedia, if you are defaulting on your obligation to provide your customer with a service you have contracted for, she should have every right to terminate without penalty #unfaircontractconditions
