andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

Paul Ivins 🏴 ♎ 💙🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇪🇺 (@ivinsp) reported from Cardiff, Wales@richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@virginmedia The image attached shows you have notified me of an issue
-
lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks
-
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.
-
Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales@DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.
-
MarcB (@555Husker) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?
-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.
-
Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, WalesAbsolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.
