    @virginmedia Received a text message with a link saying that my bill had not been paid and update my details checked my bank and paid that day customer services confirmed this also this is the second time this has happened why does my information keep getting breached?

  • WildthingJ74 Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @emmalouise_ions @virginmedia @skytv They won't even want to talk to customers. Had same recorded message fobbing you off to the site even though that doesn't help with what I need

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone looking for truly appalling customer service? With terrible communications? Try one of the UK’s leading comms company @virginmedia - great example of how to truly undervalue customers with poor and dismissive service #poor #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

  • ABoweACS Mr Bowe - Abbeywood CS (@ABoweACS) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia we're in a firebreak lockdown! it's miserable outside! the only positive thing about today is the @BritishBakeOff and your TV service goes down.. Get your act together mun!

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia right - how on earth do you actually speak to someone in your team? If I have issues with my broadband, it’s not exactly practical to advise me to head to your website! Any options on how to speak to someone?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I understand that but if it’s not related to virgin how did they get my service provider and date payment is due,customer services are aware of this,as a service provider have you informed potential victims that this has happened?

  • ILSdiva Sarah Hills (@ILSdiva) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia my internet is inexplicably not working. Any issues in Penarth, Wales?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia Hi. No never spoke to anyone. Gone to BT.

  • simmo_phillips Simon Phillips (@simmo_phillips) reported from Barry, Wales

    @Virgin @virginmedia @virginhelp Worst company in the world! Avoid at all costs!

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia pls can you help? Website and app help doesn't address the technical issues and don't provide way to contact you. Phoned 150, automated system said it would update & restart TV. Nothing happened. Can't watch recorded programmes since 12th Oct. Frustrating!

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia TV down in Newport, Gwent area. Has been for a while. Any idea when it's back on please?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia It’s always internet we’ve had a issue with TV has been fine. Shocking service.

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia can you tell me who I need to escalate the issue I have regarding my data being breached again for the second time in around 18 months I have spoken to customer services who have confirmed you are aware and investigating?????

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It wasn’t an email it was a text message I have reported it and they are aware of it if it’s nothing to do with a data breach how do they know my service provider, mobile number and day the bill is supposed to be paid?

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia After having broadband and tv issues for a month now was told there would be an automatic credit on my bill but nothing is showing. Can you look at this for me please?

  • sioden Sioned Wyn 💛 (@sioden) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes this is the form I’ve been filling in. Twice. And I’ve never received the returns package to be able to return the kit. Will it be different this time?!

  • Sionedwards Siôn Edwards 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@Sionedwards) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    ....and now that I’m led to wonder if I might get better service elsewhere re internet provider, can anybody advise on their experience of quitting @virginmedia ?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Good Morning @virginmedia please can you kindly contact me DM or send me your complaints email address please awful service at customer service. #notahqppycustomer

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Rebooted and still got the same problem. Can you advise on getting a refund for the above fault ref which has been going on since the 7th of October. Amount on bill is the same do I need to wait for fault to be resolved and is it automatic as told previously?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You can, I assume this is potentially an agency who is managing their social media accounts. So you can kindly pass these on to a manager from the complaints team please. This is beyond poor customer service!

  • anujgakhar Anuj Gakhar (@anujgakhar) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get a return equipment kit for over 2 months now. I’ve been charged already but after being told 5 times that a return kit is on the way, nothing actually arrives. Can someone help? I have spent several hours just trying to reach out.

  • marra37 Mark Warburton (@marra37) reported

    @virginmedia this is getting silly. Internet is down again and to top it off try to run the fancy checker on your Web site, it too has technical difficulties. I am sorry but I think it is time for me to find a reliable supplier.

  • MarkBillinge Mark Billinge (@MarkBillinge) reported

    @virginmedia You’d like to think so but so far nothing helpful. Also I can’t tell you the number of times I have called that number and as yet found no one who can assist other than to say “it’s with IT”….day 6 now, what a joke and what awful customer service!

  • philallenlive PHiLiP A (@philallenlive) reported

    @virginmedia internet down again

  • JohnJJByrne John Byrne (@JohnJJByrne) reported

    @virginmedia I had to use my own data for this tweet because my at home WiFi was too slow to open twitter, never get virgin media, they scam you to the bone, literally any other provider is better, they lie about their contracts and back pedal when you call them out

  • Ohbrendo Brendo (@Ohbrendo) reported

    what ******** has just happened i hope virgin media dies go **** yourselves

  • CliveR39 Clive Richardson (@CliveR39) reported
