  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Rebooted and still got the same problem. Can you advise on getting a refund for the above fault ref which has been going on since the 7th of October. Amount on bill is the same do I need to wait for fault to be resolved and is it automatic as told previously?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia right - how on earth do you actually speak to someone in your team? If I have issues with my broadband, it’s not exactly practical to advise me to head to your website! Any options on how to speak to someone?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I understand that but if it’s not related to virgin how did they get my service provider and date payment is due,customer services are aware of this,as a service provider have you informed potential victims that this has happened?

  • sioden Sioned Wyn 💛 (@sioden) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes this is the form I’ve been filling in. Twice. And I’ve never received the returns package to be able to return the kit. Will it be different this time?!

  • ABoweACS Mr Bowe - Abbeywood CS (@ABoweACS) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia we're in a firebreak lockdown! it's miserable outside! the only positive thing about today is the @BritishBakeOff and your TV service goes down.. Get your act together mun!

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia pls can you help? Website and app help doesn't address the technical issues and don't provide way to contact you. Phoned 150, automated system said it would update & restart TV. Nothing happened. Can't watch recorded programmes since 12th Oct. Frustrating!

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Received a text message with a link saying that my bill had not been paid and update my details checked my bank and paid that day customer services confirmed this also this is the second time this has happened why does my information keep getting breached?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

  • WildthingJ74 Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia TV down in Newport, Gwent area. Has been for a while. Any idea when it's back on please?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone looking for truly appalling customer service? With terrible communications? Try one of the UK’s leading comms company @virginmedia - great example of how to truly undervalue customers with poor and dismissive service #poor #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It wasn’t an email it was a text message I have reported it and they are aware of it if it’s nothing to do with a data breach how do they know my service provider, mobile number and day the bill is supposed to be paid?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia It’s always internet we’ve had a issue with TV has been fine. Shocking service.

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You can, I assume this is potentially an agency who is managing their social media accounts. So you can kindly pass these on to a manager from the complaints team please. This is beyond poor customer service!

  • JeniiTastic Jenii Tastic (@JeniiTastic) reported

    @virginmedia If you read my tweet you'd see that the service status checker said all is well before no problems here guv, but the robot voice on the phone says actually there is a problem. Just like last time.

  • helenlucygray Helen Gray (@helenlucygray) reported

    @virginmedia They have no idea what the cause is. I’ve been onto different chats and now agents all day and it’s not fixed. No one has a clue. I had a call back from one agent who put me on hold for 12 mins and the call dropped. I have no way to work tomorrow. Please help me!

  • the_50_quid 50Quid (@the_50_quid) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, but now I have this issue: Looks like you're having a few problems. Please contact us to register for My Virgin Media. Can you please call me or pm me?

  • Amazon195 DrCalistaOctaviaHill (@Amazon195) reported

    @virginmedia Maybe you are not technical hence you cannot understand what dropping out means - there have been some problems with your routers - u have to realise people work from home and will complain very strongly

  • the_50_quid 50Quid (@the_50_quid) reported

    @virginmedia I need help - You can't use that password. Please choose another

  • Amyshamblesx Amy (@Amyshamblesx) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve decided to go with another provider since the customer service we received was so bad.

  • JSpurs___ James (@JSpurs___) reported

    @craig_dw @_Flirtram_ @virginmedia When it works they're the market leader by far the fastest. But always found the very regular random drops and dips make it not worth it. Plus a right ball ache to cancel or deal woth their customer service

  • OghuzKh Hayreddin Barbarossa (@OghuzKh) reported

    I complained last time that my Internet drops every few seconds and this bredda @virginmedia had the audacity to tell me "that's the nature of WIFI", Well it's in my nature to not pay if I receive inadequate service.

  • barnsleyfc32 Kev Hancock (@barnsleyfc32) reported

    @virginmedia I want to cancel within the 14 days.. I’ve tried and tried but just get fobbed off and cut off.. I’ve cancelled the standing order. Wish I’d never got involved with Virgin I’m having an absolute nightmare.

  • blindtubemares Ted Maul (@blindtubemares) reported

    Very snide how Virgin Media's support organisation effectively put you in a holding pattern for 24 hours before you can even request an engineer visit.
