  • BeckyyBuzz Becky...xx {TeEm} (@BeckyyBuzz) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I have currently reset the family wifi box three times now and have no internet or wifi. I do not know any of the account details as it's all in my dads name but we have no service be would like the issue resolved if possible

  • michaelck1972 Michael (@michaelck1972) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I shared the screen prints of what they said. No attempt was made to diagnose or resolve. Only to sell boosters despite me advising them I have major WiFi issues. I’ve kept all the messages and you did bring but try to con me out of more money. And now you call me a liar!!

  • LouisPMertens Louis Mertens (@LouisPMertens) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    1/2 My exp. with @VirginMedia has been a farce involving incorrect contract lengths, engineers insisting my package can't be installed bc customer service sold me a service that doesn't exist, phone calls from Virgin saying the engineers are wrong...

  • bighumphs Steve Humphreys #FBPE (@bighumphs) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia your customer service is a joke!!

  • MJSwindlehurst Matthew Swindlehurst (@MJSwindlehurst) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jordanjaylam @virginmedia @richardbranson I am experiencing the same problem Jordan. Pay £3 a month extra for boosters that don’t work, as well as WiFi that doesn’t connect to all the rooms, liberty! Hope your problem gets resolved soon.

  • GarethWHeating Gareth Williams (@GarethWHeating) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told there was a problem with the cell that has now been rectified. There was nothing at all wrong with the phone but it cuts out all the time. Always has...

  • HayleyaReed hayley reed (@HayleyaReed) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @virginmedia why does it take so long to get through to your cancellation team or is there that many people getting rid of your services due to the shocking customer service!

  • PoweredByBacon1 Travis James Bacon (@PoweredByBacon1) reported

    @virginmedia No, both today and last Wednesday showed no issues despite issues existing (lol). Is there a delay in the issue tracker?

  • jodierianne Jodie Fothergill (@jodierianne) reported

    @virginmedia really need to speak to someone in your customer service team and your website is just sending me round in circles... no it can't be answered in the faqs, where's the phone number? 😒

  • OllieTarrant14 Oliver Tarrant (@OllieTarrant14) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, no response yesterday and the issue was not sorted in time for the game, meaning we missed out on the fixture we’d paid to watch. Now in the process of cancelling the subscription for the channel, as was only bought for that game. V disappointing and waste of money.

  • JamesRabbett James Rabbett (@JamesRabbett) reported

    @virginmedia @Firetaxi Poor stock response @virginmedia ...same as you gave me. Of course there are outages, question is why are there so many outages??? AND why don’t you message your affected customers to keep them updated? POOR service!

  • mmaryJ Jill D 💙 (@mmaryJ) reported

    @virginmedia I will be visiting and will call if necessary but for now the WiFi is back on. Looks like the restart of the hub worked on this occasion. It doesn’t usually! Thank you so much for your help.

  • dark_autumn_ Amy Louise x (@dark_autumn_) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia are you going to be working today? I work from home still and I’m trying to work yet you are still not working, why are we even paying you

  • RizzyPig Stephen McMahon (@RizzyPig) reported

    @virginmedia The guy on the phone said he would escalate my complaint to his manager

  • usedbytes Brian Starkey (@usedbytes) reported

    @virginmedia HTTP speeds are fine. The issue is for non-HTTP traffic, which speedtest doesn't measure 😟

  • Kam_Naseem Clementine (@Kam_Naseem) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I've been on the phone to your staff regarding internet issues, your customer service rep said they would run some tests, and when she came back she introduced herself again, to which I replied you've been running tests for me? And she hung up. Half an hour waste

  • PoweredByBacon1 Travis James Bacon (@PoweredByBacon1) reported

    @virginmedia are there problems in the 07 area? My internet is slow and I'm dropping out of Microsoft Teams & Slack calls every 90 seconds, almost rhythmically. This happened last Wednesday, both days my Service Checker is reporting no problems.
