-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!
-
Jonny Ex 🏴 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported from Cathays, WalesImagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix 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?
-
𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.
-
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.
-
Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia @O2 Talking to a cmsr service rep at the mo, absolutely crap!!
-
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?
-
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.
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.
-
Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.
-
Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too
-
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.
-
Dave T (@fin_father) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.
-
Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales@virginmedia any issues.. Np199gf ? No internet.. and yes I’ve checked everything 1st

z (@ogerreyn) reported@virginmedia do you not have reasonable adjustments in place for disabled people? I visited a shop today and was told by the manager that they do not and just kept saying I have to phone a number. It seems like your company is only interested in grabbing money regardless service
-
Prettyflyguy (@Prettyflyguy77) reported@KaiGWatson Have a look at Cityfibre providers if your area has it. You'll get Virgin media speeds but with a much better reliable service.

-
Melvin Jose (@Melvinjose22321) reported@virginmedia I have been facing intermittent broadband issues from almost a month and all you do is keep pushing resolution date by a week once that has passed. This the fifth time you are pushing the resolution timeframe. When can you get this resolved?
-
Jon Ashman (@JonAshman2) reported@virginmedia I’m paying £176.00 per month for your services so quite frankly an apology isn’t good enough I’ll contact yourselves later regarding my contract the service you now offer is woeful
