-
This is Carl🏳️🌈😺🏴🍕 (@Carl_E88) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales@rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.
-
Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales@virginmedia we are having issues NP19 we’ve rebooted and checked wires.. been on and off now for few weeks. What’s going on please ??
-
Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

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

Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message.

David Ratcliffe (aka Centurions_War) (@Dratcliffe1986) reported@virginmedia @ExeterBub Are repairs for no service supposed to be 48hrs from when reported? Id raise to the issue to ofcom, make sure Virginmedia keep to the extended time frame and provide full compensation and refund for the lost TV access
-
Dianaaaa (@Dianaaaa_91) reportedInternet went down at 9pm last night. @virginmedia you’re estimating to be back up at 5:08pm today…. My partner wfh how is he supposed to do his job? No information on the app just “an issue in the area” can someone check on this please? It’s only been a week since it fixed.
-
Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported@virginmedia And idea what you have not replied to my post and now ignoring my DMs? Breach of contract and you are now in breach of your complaint procedure
-
LYNCHY BHOY 🍀 🏴🇮🇪 (@GLEZGAHS_G_N_W) reported@virginmedia @heid_the_baw_ You ain’t sorry yer robbing bastards , existing customers get pumped silly for a shite service , and can’t even get some one to talk to in this country , just a **** mob to deal with let’s be honest
-
Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported@virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.
-
Pete (@PeteNCFC1862) reported@Derek959Derek @RayJones34 All the big 3 providers do it via the Good Things Foundation, apart from EE and BT who have there own arrangements for helping with data poverty. These help people on benefits so official status and a NI number is needed . Virgin Media O2 Vodaphone 3 do it via Databank .
-
Craig Sutton (@CraigSu66242369) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 Customers shouldn't have to compromise. We have all paid for a service which we are currently not getting. It's a disgrace really considering the cost. Maybe time for a change.
-
Tilal Manzoor (@tilalx) reported@virginmedia Another day, another excuse from your service team. I message them and they have say nobody is coming: "I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused. As I checked, the appointment was not attended due to technician unavailability."
-
Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported@virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?
