    Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

  • SATempest
    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?

  • Dazc090861
    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.

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia you SUCK, you have NO CUSTOMER service at all. Employ more staff and start to provide a service we are paying for RUBBISH SERVICE perhaps we need to move to @skytv !!!!

    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.

  • andylance1977
    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?

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been 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.

    @thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.

    @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

  • SteveMowat4
    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

    kaz (@girlieb71) reported

    @virginmedia I've had 2 emails now asking me to verify my identity but it seems I'm being hacked as the person is miles away from me, I've checked my security and it says I set up a passkey last week which I haven't, can you help

  • coillteman
    tommier (@coillteman) reported

    @TheMandyGall @virginmedia @rte RTÉ bias, it doesn't suit the governments narrative on whom their very existence depends on. €750,000,000 was a great handout to them. That's ¾ of a BILLION WTF they are beholding to the government who have paid a high price for a PR company which RTE is.

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

  • travichughes
    rhi (@travichughes) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on

  • vix_no9
    Vix (@vix_no9) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to resolve a billing a dispute which has been paid over month ago but is still showing as unpaid on your systems impacting credit scores and everything that goes along with that. No one can help me get this cleared. Missing payments dont respond to emails

  • philbigdog
    Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported

    @virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.

  • Polythane
    † 𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖔𝖓 𝕽𝖞𝖆𝖓 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖙 † (@Polythane) reported

    @VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours

  • lyndzb1990
    lyndsey buchanan (@lyndzb1990) reported

    @virginmedia why is it so difficult to speak to customer service? Chat isn’t replaying and I’ve been hung up on and ignored twice. I have a complaint but I suppose if you ignore me you don’t have to deal with it 👌

  • realpalmtrees11
    me (@realpalmtrees11) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue in the sg1 area please? Our broadband has been woeful all day.

  • bexxsta18
    Becki (@bexxsta18) reported

    @virginmedia why is your service so bad! Broadband constantly going off, service checker cannot currently connect at the moment. No service issues reported……IT DOESN’T WORK!
