    @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.

    @wolsned All the bloody time - terrible service #virginbroadband #virginmedia

  • j_bettany
    Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

    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

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

    @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.

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • GillibrandPeter
    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…!

  • damianKerlin
    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?

    @virginmedia you ,mean the awful service you usually provide is even worse,,

  • 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.

    @virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.

  • Dazc090861
    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!!!

    @virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!

    Oh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.

    @virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.

  • 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?

  • cymboi
    MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @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.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I think #Vodafone takes some beating in the crap call centre department, but I feel your pain

  • Bowtomephil
    Phil (@Bowtomephil) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Some are great some are not. I had an issue told them what I thought it was as it happened before. One guy said its not that, came three times, changed modems, cables connectors etc. I told them don't send him , they sent a new guy listened to what I said, fixed what I said.

  • MartHarrison
    Martin Harrison (@MartHarrison) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yeah…the internet speed was great but the rest was totally awful based on my only experience with them…when asked I tell folk to avoid them👍

  • conning_john
    John Conning (@conning_john) reported

    @Benleo @CallmeRight1 @virginmedia I had heard they have a dreadful reputation for customer service or lack of it…..

  • IanLythgoe4
    Ian Lythgoe (@IanLythgoe4) reported

    Anyone's Virgin TV STILL not working after 2 days bet we dont get refunded so im paying £140 a month for a **** service @virginmedia

  • JamieReynolds92
    Jamie Reynolds (@JamieReynolds92) reported

    @virginmedia When building a package theres no option for recording boxes? Surely if your becoming a stream service the price should reflect that?

  • ABabySeagull
    ABabySeagull🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@ABabySeagull) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!
