    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

  • paulo1927 Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

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

    @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

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

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  • 3EyedTiger 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 (@3EyedTiger) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @virginmedia Cheers, still down this morning - tried another 2 router reboots at 6am and 7:30 respectively but was no better, solid red light, etc.. Will try again at midday

  • staceyjlipowski Stacey J Lipowski🐧 (@staceyjlipowski) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

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

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

  • ROMEROISACUTI ROMEROISACUTI (@ROMEROISACUTI) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia wifi has gone down in CF62 area of Barry.

  • 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 !!!!

  • MsWhippet1 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.

  • stfcjoner1986 Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

  • LaurenKetchley LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …

  • lou_dare Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

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

    @virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.

    For the thrid time in a row, @virginmedia fail to show up to fix my broadband. and each time the engineer has called saying "I'm just round the corner looking for parking" and then just NOT SHOWN UP. No response, no call to say the visit is cancelled. Just not turning up

  • MarkMarky222 Mark (@MarkMarky222) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply, it’s off more than it’s on these days and more annoyingly I pay extra for the extra speed. I’ve done all the turning on and turning off and reboots. There appears to be an issue in my area as it was the same last Friday.

  • garyb007 Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported

    @virginmedia After the dozens of messages I've posted about this, I would at least think you'd know it was a mobile - when you had your mobile service. I was promised the results of two investigations, but received nothing.

  • curty42 MC (@curty42) reported
