  • tomgriffiths88 Tom Griffiths (@tomgriffiths88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia broadband down again. For improvements apparently. No notification or prior warnings. Losing a days work. Great!

  • honeys_ Claire Louise (@honeys_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia my Wi-Fi has just gone off and within seconds your app is telling me there is a fault and the estimated fix is 3pm. Something tells me this is a planned outage. Why are you not communicating with customers who are relying on your service to work at home.

  • EmmaEvans95 Emma Evans (@EmmaEvans95) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia No not yet your IVR won’t let me and your i’m waiting for a response from webchat, but that will take ages.. surely there must be a way to get though the awful IVR to speak to a human!

  • darth_noga Darth Noga (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia are you having a national outage of tv and broadband? CF62 area and have neither at the moment

  • EmmaEvans95 Emma Evans (@EmmaEvans95) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Any idea why I was not notified about the outage?

  • FrankieJ4m3s Francesca James (@FrankieJ4m3s) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The worst service ever from @virginmedia - been trying to cancel my account since March. I do appreciate problems with lockdown etc but we’re almost in October! Nobody at all seems to want to take responsibility - passed from pillar to post!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia how is hanging on the phone for more than 30 mins acceptable? You get a *** full of money from me and my Aunt separately. £180 pm your service is extremely poor!!!

  • EmmaEvans95 Emma Evans (@EmmaEvans95) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Ok, the IVR said that there is a outage in my area and that it should be working by 4pm, what time do your customer service lines close?

  • huwtroberts Huw Roberts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@huwtroberts) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia No response on the complaint, but have been in contact with someone on the forum and are being sent a new hub, so fingers crossed that works.

  • yjw_x 𝙔𝙖𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙣⋆ (@yjw_x) reported

    @virginmedia On behalf of parents in law, they are having issues with their account and advised of a new price, however bill states different (more expensive price) can you advise a number to speak to someone?

  • doxxor1333 doxxor (@doxxor1333) reported

    @virginmedia it was originally a progress chase on internal fault ticket = F009669229 but due to every single reply not being related to anything I've said its escalated. I'm starting to wonder if its a member of staff trying to signal they're in distress?

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported

    @virginmedia No! Sam said if I had any further enquiries I was to e mail him. I have done twice and he is not replying. Damn right rude and in totally the wrong job. Customer services…it’s a joke!

  • _rachelbridges rach (@_rachelbridges) reported

    Imagine being on the phone for 30 mins to @virginmedia for them to put phone down. Shocking customer service. Not even been an active customer for 24 hours yet either. Absolute JOKE.

  • SP1D3R_Sway Martin_Sway 🦁💚🦁💚 (@SP1D3R_Sway) reported

    @virginmedia customer service team are a joke, I have a simple question and nobody can seem to give me any answers

  • janerrr_ Jane (@janerrr_) reported

    Nightmare dealing with @virginmedia Took days to actually speak to someone to cancel contract & now when they have arranged to collect the equipment no one turns up, a waste of a day having to stay in for this. Website makes it impossible to contact anyone about this too.

  • Deano612 Dean Newton (@Deano612) reported

    @virginmedia please can somebody tell me why I am being left for almost 3 weeks without Boardband, TV and Phone, and then call me a liar, and I'm not paying for a service that I'm not getting. Maybe @skytv can give me a better customer service.

  • SAsuman8 A Photon (@SAsuman8) reported

    @virginmedia Well I called them before and no solution!

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia It appears you and your colleagues spout any kind of nonsense to get me signed up and then don't care about the service provided thereafter. As I was mis-sold the contract, I want it cancelled

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia Why have I previously been advised I would hear back within a set amount of hours if I'm to contact them? Considering I've been informed incorrectly from your side for the past 2 months, the delay to me being able to fully utilise the service is your fault...
