  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

  • thelee_x_w
    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

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

    @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

  • macauc01
    Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

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

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

    @virginmedia I have an issue with some of my emails being returned undelivered and saying they are spam. This is causing me an issue. Can you help?

  • fredljones_
    Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia online chat not working, on hold for hours and not responding on WhatsApp?! How do I get hold of you to cancel my service ffs...

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Alleluia @virginmedia Just taken one month to have most issues resolved. Feedback: less silos in customer service so they can see all issues and be more helpful.

  • 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.

    Steve H 📷🦋🐝 (@grandadthegrey) reported

    Just spent an hour trying to contact a human at @virginmedia but failed. Customer service line useless. Chat didn't work. Web site takes you round in circles and does not solve what I wanted to know.

  • davaecho

    SFB-Mod (@cycleprawn) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia They are absolutely ****. Wouldn’t use them if they were free. They are dishonest and I wouldn’t trust them to run me a bath without cocking it up.

  • cleantethemiser
    sam ☄️🔥🏳️‍🌈 (@cleantethemiser) reported

    @virginmedia is there a power outage as some of my channels are missing such as Sky Crime, U & Gold? I've been on the ChatBOT for three hours with no reply and no answering the phone.

  • mec337

    @virginmedia without doubt the worse customer service in the history of customer service.

  • billywi56359173
    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia tried calling and it’s impossible to get through to anyone, my bill keeps going up and up and up and the service keeps getting worse and worse, so I try and swap supplier and now you’re charging me nearly £300 to leave early.

  • Kathlee69436088
    Kathleen McCabe (@Kathlee69436088) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Workmen were digging outside last week (the same place as once before when they severed the virgin media line). Since then, our Internet service quality has been fluctuating with very low service at times. Working from home. Can you assist please?

  • kevin0403
    Kevin Burke (@kevin0403) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me what your issue is? Over a week to try and speak to someone and no further forward, currently been in a queue for over 3hrs?
