  • partywareham Sarah Wareham (@partywareham) reported from Blackwood, Wales

    @EmilyEvaGill @virginmedia So has mine with BT, they offered me £20 as an apology but it’s not an apology it’s a contractual obligation! Paying a fortune for a non existent service! Hopefully will be fixed tomorrow

  • williamsk67 Kevin Williams 💙💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@williamsk67) reported from Treharris, Wales

    @JonoMoulds We’ve got a problem with Virgin media, too. We cancelled his mobile phone contract when it ended, but they kept on charging him. I cancelled his DD, now they are threatening to send the bailiffs round. Absolute ***** the lot of them. I’m ****** fuming butt!

    @virginmedia Really need to speak with someone to order a replacement SIM card. Phone lines say customer service is closed & so does the local store phone number. Live chat is taking hours.

  • CaswellAlun Rhys Caswell (@CaswellAlun) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    Virgin media are an absolute disgrace, talk about poor customer service. My wife has been over 50mins on the phone just trying to sort out a new hub as we upgrade to the box last month, got sold a new package and then best thing is the hub is to old to run what we need.
