    @virginmedia Absolutely awful considering the service provided by your company is terrible, I’m still waiting for a response to my complaint!

  • bigchristweets
    Chris Davies (@bigchristweets) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm aware of the line you're taking to defend the 11% increase but the point is that your service is rubbish as demonstrated by the third image. We have to chuck £200 to Google to get a hub that works. I presume you're not getting an 11% pay rise this year. I know I'm not.

    @virginmedia Landline, Tivo and Broadband all down. What can I do?

    Daniel Williams (@BottleShopDan) reported from Maesteg, Wales

    @WonderSpotCafe @vmbusiness We had exactly the same... forced into an upgrade..across our sites.. because they were no longer maintaining a package they were still selling.. We will be gone as soon as we can Also **** Branson

    @virginmedia I received it back in May/June time, I already logged a complaint with the person who promised me they had sort it because of your absolutely abysmal customer service and still nearly another month later, moving into October I still have not received my refund! Coming into 6 mths

    @virginmedia Are there problems in the Swansea area? Internet has been dropping out periodically for the last 2 days.

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour and twenty mins with my 90yo dad to try to solve a C130 connection problem. And still no answer. Absolute shambles customer service

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

  • enfysjack
    Paul Johnson (@enfysjack) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia £50 more for the same package seems unfair to your loyal existing customer's

  • michalincs
    🧑‍💻 Michał in CS (@michalincs) reported from Swansea, Wales

    I cancelled @virginmedia broadband as the price kept increasing, the service wasn't. They offered 75% more speed for 40% less as I was such a "loyal customers for years". Effectively, they admitted they were overcharging me for years hoping that will make me stay! No thank you.

    When you work from home you rely on the internet coverage from your supplier. Mine has gone down this morning with expected fix at 3pm. No prior warning from @virginmedia SHITE!!!!!

    @virginmedia ffs sake why has our bill gone up too £76 a month just because football back on not happy #lookingtoochange Anyone recommend another service cheaper @SkySports @TalkTalk my dad only wants football nothing else #football #sports

  • TheBenWoodcock
    Benjamin Woodcock (@TheBenWoodcock) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia im getting really annoyed with your mobile service as I cannot receive any automated text messages (which makes 2FA for some stuff impossible). This is an ongoing issue. Also unable to get through to 150

  • Kristian_Turner
    Kristian Turner (@Kristian_Turner) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes and says that the estimated fix time is 22:00 for all three!

  • grumpyoldprof
    Duncan Lewis (@grumpyoldprof) reported from Skewen, Wales

    Hello @virginmedia. I cannot sign in to my ntlworld email - it says my password is not recognised. Is the server down please as my password has not changed. This has happened at least 6 times in the last 12 months.

  • Gezz99
    Geraint Reynolds (@Gezz99) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia please update your Virgin Mobile automated message which says lines are open until 22:00. I called at 21:05 and connected to a lost & stolen line who couldn't help and also said they couldn't feed back to anyone that the automated message is wrong 🤦

  • SimonLew87
    S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it’s says there are no issues. It’s frustrating as I’m working from home and continues to drop or go off.

  • spilzzz
    Alice Spils (@spilzzz) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia It’s a long standing issue which seems to be getting worse. The signal strength is just so so poor. I can’t use the WiFi upstairs most of the time 🙄

  • Botleylady
     Val  (@Botleylady) reported from Swansea, Wales

    Still holding on the phone to @virginmedia after 1hr. 31mins 43secs. Absolutely disgusting service.

  • George2Rachel
    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia thank you for keeping me on hold for the last 35 minutes then disconnecting me. I really didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday evening. Useless customer service continues

    @NUFCdesperado @vmbusiness Ha ha. Some stuff doesn't need writing down. Like the ******* phone number they rang me on!

  • MrsBridgford
    Kathryn Bridgford (@MrsBridgford) reported

    @virginmedia what's your average call answering time? Two separate days, had to hang up after an hour. Please help!

  • shooter1981
    Stuart Layton (@shooter1981) reported

    @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you??? Awful experience so far. Over 2 hours on hold so far, online chat kicks me out. Not even been able to activate my account or install equipment and now unable to cancel. Glad I won’t be proceeding with you !!

  • GeorgeGros
    George Gros (@GeorgeGros) reported

    Embarrassing customer service with @virginmedia. 9 calls to upgrade my service AND sign up my mother, but reps are hugely untrained, unhelpful and the amount of times I was cut off and put on hold is endless. 2.5hrs down and i am no further sorted, despite speaking to a manager!

  • JohnKingscott
    John Kingscott (@JohnKingscott) reported

    @virginmedia is your broadband status checker not working? Doesn't seem to be here...

  • earth_luma
    EarthLuma! (@earth_luma) reported

    @PaulaCoyscot I wouldn’t say I’m against it or anything, but like the sad wee sod I am, I wonder how our broadcasting system would be affected by it, considering how Ireland has a completely distinct system from the UK (with RTÉ, the Virgin Media network (which was TV3 until 2018), TG4, etc.)

  • KingT_94
    Sam (@KingT_94) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been having issues with my internet for the last week. Streaming is a nightmare and trying to use the internet in general has been ridiculous. I’m meant to be getting 250 mb download speed and I’m not getting anywhere near that 🤔 can you advise please?

  • GarethYOURCXC
    GarethYOURCXC (@GarethYOURCXC) reported

    @OCP_84 @virginmedia @tntsports That is just bonkers! Clearly "valuable" is being used in the wrong context. Their 'new' acquisition numbers are more important that long term customer loyalty/value.

  • Donaldman34
    Alex Bellew (@Donaldman34) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, and every time your chatbot says it is going to connect me to an actual human, the chat disconnects and starts again. This is moderately infuriating to say the least. Can you fix this
